Suppose you are planning a trip in which a spacecraft is to travel at a constant velocity for exactly six months, as measured by

a clock on board the spacecraft, and then return home at the same speed. Upon return, the people on earth will have advanced exactly 110 years into the future. According to special relativity, how fast must you travel

Answer:

0.999958c

Explanation:

Remember that the trip involves traveling for six months at a constant velocity thus returning home at same speed . The time interval of this trip will therefore be one year.

Accurate time interval to be measured by the clock on the spaceship Δt0 = 1.0 years

Time interval as advanced on earth observed from the spacecraft Δt = 110 years

the formula for time dilation is

Δt = Δt0 /√(1-v2/c2)

or v = c*√1-(Δt0/Δt)2

=c*√[1-(1year/110years)2]

= 0.999958c

On Mars, where air resistance is negligible, an astronaut drops a rock from a cliff and notes that the rock falls about d meters
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

d_1 = 16 d

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the fall of the stone is ZERO

v_i = 0

also the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is g

so we have

d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}gt^2

now we have

d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g t^2

now if the same is dropped for 4t seconds of time

then again we will use above equation

d_1 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}g(4t)^2

d_1 = 16(\frac{1}{2}gt^2)

d_1 = 16 d

(a) Calculate the rate of heat conduction through house walls that are 13.0 cm thick and that have an average thermal conductivi
Mkey [24]

Answer:

a. 960 W b. One 1 kW room heater

Explanation:

a. The rate of heat conduction P = kA(T₂ - T₁)/d where k = 2 × 0.040 W/m-K =  0.080 W/m-K since the thermal conductivity of glass wool is 0.040 W/m-K and that of the material is twice the thermal conductivity of glass wool, A = area of walls = 120 m², T₁ = outside surface temperature = 5.0 °C, T₂ = inside surface temperature = 18.0 °C and d = thickness of wall = 13.0 cm = 0.13 m

P = kA(T₂ - T₁)/d

= 0.080 W/m-K × 120 m²(18.0 °C - 5.0 °C)/0.13 m

= 9.6 Wm/K × 13 K/0.13 m

= 124.8 Wm/0.13 m

= 960 W

b. The number of 1 kW room heater required will be

n = rate of heat conduction/power of one room heater = 960 W/ 1 kW = 960 W/1000 W = 0.96 ≅ 1

So we need only one 1 kW room heater.

A 2 kg object is
Mademuasel [1]
NO net force is required to keep a moving object moving in a straight
line at a constant speed.  In fact, if you apply ANY force to it, in ANY
direction, then its speed, its direction, or both must change, and its
velocity won't be uniform any more. 

I know we never see this in our daily life.  Whenever we see an object
moving, it always stops.  That's because the net force on it is never zero ...
there's always some gravity or some friction acting on it.  That's what you
have to put up with when you live on Earth.
