The starship Enterprise approaches the planet Risa at a speed of 0.8c relative to the planet. On the way, it overtakes the inter

galactic freighter Astra. The relative speed of the two ships as measured by the navigator on the Enterprise is 0.5c. At what speed is Astra approaching the planet?

Answer:

<em>0.3c</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

The speed of Enterprise relative to Risa is 0.8c

Relative speed of both ships as measured from Enterprise is 0.5c

therefore, relative speed of Astra to Enterprise is 0.8c - 0.5c = <em>0.3c</em>

<em>this is also the relative speed with which Astra approaches the planet Risa since Enterprise's speed was calculated relative to Risa.</em>

A particle with charge q = 10-9 C and mass m = 5.0 x 10-9 kg is moving in a magnetic field whose magnitude is 0.003 T. The speed
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

a=0.212 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

q= 10⁻⁹ C

m = 5 x 10⁻⁹ kg

Magnetic filed ,B= 0.003 T

Speed ,V= 500 m/s

θ= 45°

Lets take acceleration of the mass is a m/s²

The force on the charge due to magnetic filed B

F= q V B sinθ

Also F= m a  ( from Newton's law)

By balancing these above two forces

m a= q V B sinθ

a=\dfrac{qVB\ sin\theta}{m}

a=\dfrac{10^{-9}\times 500\times 0.003\times\ sin45^{\circ}}{5\times 10^{-9}}\ m/s^2

a=\dfrac{10^{-9}\times 500\times 0.003\times\dfrac{1}{\sqrt2}}{5\times 10^{-9}}\ m/s^2

a=0.212 m/s²

The deviation of a value (x) from the mean of the sample divided by the standard deviation (s)of the sample is known as the "z"
Ugo [173]

Answer:

true.

Explanation:

z-score gives an idea of how far the value of data is from the mean point. Basically is the measure of a standard deviation below or above the mean.

More the deviation of the data from the mean more is the standard deviation.

Z-score or value is calculated by the expression given below:

     z = \dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

  x is the value

 μ is the mean

 σ is the standard deviation

Hence, the statement given is true.
