What is velocity ratio ?

1 answer:

5 0

The ratio of the distance moved by the point at which the effort is applied in a simple machine to the distance moved by the point at which the load is applied, in the same time. In the case of an ideal (frictionless and weightless) machine, velocity ratio = mechanical advantage. Velocity ratio is sometimes called distance ratio.

The moon has a weaker gravitational force than earth. sofia weighs 50 lbs. on earth. how much will she weigh on the moon?

kupik [55]

If Sofia weighs 50 lbs on Earth, then she would weigh 8.3 lbs, because you are 6 times lighter on the moon than you are on Earth!

If a quasar is moving away from us at v/c = 0.8, what is the measured redshift?

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The measured redshift is z =2

Explanation:

Since the object is traveling near light speed, since v/c = 0.8, then we have to use a redshift formula for relativistic speeds.

$z= \sqrt{\cfrac{c+v}{c-v}}-1$

Finding the redshift.

We can prepare the formula by dividing by lightspeed inside the square root to both numerator and denominator to get

$z= \sqrt{\cfrac{1+\cfrac vc}{1-\cfrac vc}}-1$

Replacing the given information

$z= \sqrt{\cfrac{1+0.8}{1-0.8}}-1$

$z= \sqrt{\cfrac{1.8}{0.2}}-1\\z= \sqrt{9}}-1\\z=3-1\\z=2$

Thus the measured redshift is z = 2.

what is the difference between stirring hot soup with a wooden spoon and a metal spoon? what physical property is being observed

AnnyKZ [126]

Wooden spoons don't quickly heat to hot temperatures not nearly as fast as metal does. Metal conducts heat faster than wood — if the head of the spoon is in a hot liquid, the handle will get hot faster if it's made out of a metal.
