Step-by-step explanation:

The time dilation formula is given by

F(t) = \dfrac{t}{\sqrt{1-v^2}}

where t is the time measured by the moving observer and F(t) is the time measured by the stationary earth-bound observer and <em>v</em><em> </em> is the velocity of the moving observer expressed as a fraction of the speed of light.

a) If the observer is moving at 80% of the speed of light and observes an event that lasts for 1 second, a stationary observer will see the same event occurring over a time period of

F(t) = \dfrac{1\:\text{s}}{\sqrt{1-(0.8)^2}}

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{1\:\text{s}}{\sqrt{1-(0.8)^2}} =\dfrac{1\:\text{s}}{\sqrt{1-(0.64)}}

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=1.67\:\text{s}

This means that any event observed by this moving observer will be seen by a stationary observer to occur 67% longer.

b) Given:

t = 1 second

F(t) = 2 seconds

We need to find the speed of the observer such that an event seen by this observer will occur twice as long as seen by a stationary observer. Move the term containing the radical to the left side so the equation becomes

\sqrt{1-v^2} = \dfrac{t}{F(t)}

Take the square of both sides, we get

1 - v^2 =\dfrac{t^2}{F^2(t)}

Solving for <em>v</em>, we get

v^2 = 1 - \dfrac{t^2}{F^2(t)}

or

v = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac{t^2}{F^2(t)}}

Putting in the values for t and F(t) we get

v = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac{(1\:\text{s})^2}{(2\:\text{s})^2}}

v = \sqrt{1 - \dfrac{1}{4}} = \sqrt{0.75}

\:\:\:\:=0.866

This means that the observer must moves at 86.6% of the speed of light.

In ​ kite PQRS ​, TQ=5 cm and TR=12 cm. What is SR ? <br><br> Enter your answer in the box.

The square of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
You can use Pythagoras' Theorem to calculate QR:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
5^2 + 12^2 = QR^2
25 + 144 = QR^2
169 = QR^2
This means that the square root of 169cm is QR, which is 13cm.

SR is equal to QR, which means that SR is 13cm.

Can someone please help me with this question
zlopas [31]

Answer:

15 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know:

For 4 days she runs 1500 meters each day.

For 3 days she runs 3 kilometers each day.

First off, lets convert 1500 meters into kilometers.

There are 1000 meters in a kilometer, so pluggin in 1500 meters:

1500/1000 = 1.5

So for 4 days she runs 1.5 kilometers each day.

Now, to find the total kilometers, we must find multiply the 1.5 kilometers by the 4 days, the 3 kilometers by the 3 days, then add those two together.

So lets do this:

1.5*4 = 6

So she ran 6 kilometers in the first 4 days.

Next we have:

3*3 = 9

So she ran 9 kilometers in the last 3 days.

Now finally add them together:

6 + 9 = 15

So she ran a total of 15 kilometers.

Hope this helps!
