Answer:

You can use the formula: X= Vinitial.t + \frac{1}{2} gt^{2}

where: X: distance, which the question wants.

V initial = Zero

t= 1,2,3,10 sec.

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s^{2}

A planet is 10 light years away from Earth. What speed would you need to go for a trip to the planet and back to take only 5 yea
viva [34]

Answer:

a. speed, v = 0.97 c

b. time, t' = 20.56 years

Given:

t' = 5 years

distance of the planet from the earth, d = 10 light years = 10 c

Solution:

(a) Distance travelled in a round trip, d' = 2d = 20 c = L'

Now, using Length contraction formula of relativity theory:

L'' = L'\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}                           (1)

time taken = 5 years

We know that :

time = \frac{distance}{speed}

5 = \frac{L''}{v}                                                      (2)

Dividing eqn (1) by v on both the sides and substituting eqn (2) in eqn (1):

\frac{L'\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}{v} = 5

\frac{20'\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}{v} = 5

Squaring both the sides and Solving above eqution, we get:

v = 0.97 c

(b) Time observed from Earth:

Using time dilation:

t'' = \frac{t'}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

t'' = \frac{5}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.97c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

Solving the above eqn:

t'' = 20.56 years

1. write the meaning of the following terms:electrostatic,neutral, positively charged, negatively charged, coulomb,microcoulomb,
dybincka [34]

ELECTROSTATIC:

relating to stationary electric charges or fields as opposed to electric currents.

NEUTRAL:

nor negative nor positive/having no charge

POSITIVELY CHARGED:

positive charge occurs when the number of protons exceeds the number of electrons

NEGATIVELY CHARGED:

negative charge occurs when the number of electrons exceeds the number of protons.

COULOMB:

SI unit for electric charge. One coulomb is equal to the amount of charge from a current of one ampere flowing for one second.

MICROCOULOMB:

a unit of electrical charge equal to one millionth of a coulomb.

NANOCOULOMB:

Nanocoulombs are a unit of charge 1,000,000,000 times smaller than Coulomb.

CONSERVATION OF CHARGE:

constancy of the total electric charge in the universe or in any specific chemical or nuclear reaction

QUANTISATION OF CHARGE:

Charge quantization is the principle that the charge of any object is an integer multiple of the elementary charge.

Why is it difficult to walk on muddy road?
Gnesinka [82]
Because of internal friction between layers of mud particles called viscosity. When you walk, your foot exerts a force on the mud; and according to Newton, the mud also (is supposed to) exert an equal opposite force, which leading to an equal net resultant force in your direction, propelling you forward.
