Astronaut Jill leaves Earth in a spaceship and is now traveling at a speed of 0.280c relative to an observer on Earth. When Jill

left Earth, the spaceship was equipped with all kinds of scientific instruments, including a meter stick. Now that Jill is underway, how long does she measure the meter stick to be?
A) 0.280 m
B) 1.00 m
C) 0.960 m
D) 1.28 m
E) 1.04 m

(B) 1.00 m

Explanation:

Since the meter stick is traveling with Jill, it will have the same speed as she does so relative to Jill, the meter stick is stationary so its length remains 1.00 m as measured by her.

This is a poorly written question.

<span>Out of the choices listed, the first one is the only one that includes
a true statement ... the greater the mass of two objects, the greater
the gravitational attraction is between them.</span> 

-- Newton's law of universal gravitation doesn't "suggest" that.  It states it ...
boldly and unequivocally.

-- The law doesn't refer to the "greatness" of the mass of the two objects. 
It refers to the product of their masses.

-- It's true that the law of universal gravitation can be massaged and
manipulated to reveal the existence of gravitational planetary orbits.
But there's a lot more to it than simply the masses.

For example ... the gravitational force between two objects is inversely
proportional to
                           (the distance between the objects)² .

It turns out that IF that exponent were not precisely, exactly  2.000000... ,
then gravitational orbits could not exist.

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and dry pavement is 0.84, what is the shortest distance in which you can st
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m

Explanation:

Given;

coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.84

speed of the automobile, u = 29.0 m/s

To determine the  the shortest distance in which you can stop an automobile by locking the brakes, we apply the following equation;

v² = u² + 2ax

where;

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

x is the shortest distance

First we determine a;

From Newton's second law of motion

∑F = ma

F is the kinetic friction that opposes the motion of the car

-Fk = ma

but, -Fk = -μN

-μN = ma

-μmg = ma

-μg = a

- 0.8 x 9.8 = a

-7.84 m/s² = a

Now, substitute in the value of a in the equation above

v² = u² + 2ax

when the automobile stops, the final velocity, v = 0

0 = 29² + 2(-7.84)x

0 = 841 - 15.68x

15.68x = 841

x = 841 / 15.68

x = 53.64 m

Thus, the shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m

Two guitarists attempt to play the same note of wavelength 6.50 cm at the same time, but one of the instruments is slightly out
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

The two value of the wavelength for the out of tune guitar is  

\lambda _2 = (6.48,6.52) \ cm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The wavelength of the note is \lambda  =  6.50 \ cm = 0.065 \ m

     The difference in beat frequency is \Delta  f = 17.0 \ Hz

     

Generally the frequency of the note played by the guitar that is in tune is  

        f_1 = \frac{v_s}{\lambda}

Where v_s is the speed of sound with a constant value v_s  =  343 \ m/s

       f_1 = \frac{343}{0.0065}

      f_1 = 5276.9 \ Hz

The difference in beat is mathematically represented as

       \Delta  f =  |f_1 - f_2|

Where f_2 is the frequency of the sound from the out of tune guitar

     f_2 =f_1  \pm \Delta f

substituting values

      f_2 =f_1 + \Delta f

      f_2 = 5276.9 + 17.0  

     f_2 = 5293.9 \ Hz

The wavelength for this frequency is

      \lambda_2 = \frac{343 }{5293.9}

     \lambda_2 = 0.0648 \ m

    \lambda_2 = 6.48 \ cm

For the second value of the second frequency

     f_2 =  f_1 - \Delta f

     f_2 = 5276.9 -17

      f_2 = 5259.9 Hz

The wavelength for this frequency is

   \lambda _2 = \frac{343}{5259.9}

   \lambda _2 = 0.0652 \ m

   \lambda _2 = 6.52 \ cm

A 3kg horizontal disk of radius 0.2m rotates about its center with an angular velocity of 50rad/s. The edge of the horizontal di
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

From the information given:

The angular speed for the block \omega = 50 \ rad/s

Disk radius (r) = 0.2 m

The block Initial velocity is:

v = r \omega \\ \\  v = (0.2  \times 50) \\ \\  v= 10 \ m/s

Change in the block's angular speed is:

\Delta _{\omega} = \omega - 0 \\ \\ = 50 \ rad/s

However, on the disk, moment of inertIa is:

I= mr^2 \\ \\ I = (3 \times 0.2^2) \\ \\ I = 0.12 \ kgm^2

The time t = 10s

∴

Frictional torques by the wall on the disk is:

T = I \times (\dfrac{\Delta_{\omega}}{t}) \\ \\ = 0.12 \times (\dfrac{50}{10})  \\ \\ =0.6 \ N.m

Finally, the frictional force is calculated as:

F = \dfrac{T}r{}

F= \dfrac{0.6}{0.2} \\ \\ F = 3N
