<span>According
to the special theory of relativity, all laws of nature
are the same in
reference frames that move at constant speeds.
That means that there's no test or measurement you can do to
detect whether you're moving at a constant speed</span> or how fast.
And THAT means that there's no such thing as "who's REALLY
moving" and "who's REALLY at rest". There's no such thing as
"real" motion, only motion relative to something else.
Answer: 4.9 x 10^6 joules
Explanation:
Given that:
mass of boulder (m) = 2,500 kg
Height of ledge above canyon floor (h) = 200 m
Gravita-tional potential energy of the boulder (GPE) = ?
Since potential energy is the energy possessed by a body at rest, and it depends on the mass of the object (m), gravitational acceleration (g), and height (h).
GPE = mgh
GPE = 2500kg x 9.8m/s2 x 200m
GPE = 4900000J
Place result in standard form
GPE = 4.9 x 10^6J
Thus, the gravita-tional potential energy of the boulder-Earth system relative to the canyon floor is 4.9 x 10^6 joules
Answer:
The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.
Explanation:
The amount of gas that a helicopter uses for flying varies directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying.
g ∝ T
where g represents amount of gas and T time of flight.
Then,
The helicopter files 4 hours and uses 28 gallons of fuel.
Here, g₁= 28 gallons, T₁=4 hours
g₂=?, T₂=5 hours.
⇒28×5= g₂×4
⇒ g₂×4=28×5
gallons
The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.
Answer:
No we cannot perform any experiment that tells us weather we are moving or not at a constant speed.
Explanation:
Motion of any body is relative to other reference bodies. We can perceive motion only if our position with respect to a fixed object changes. This is the fundamental concept of reference frame in classical physics or Newtonian Physics that motion is always from a reference.
We choose a fixed body as reference and ,measure the distance we cover from this fixed point and also our speed with respect to this fixed point. The choice of frame of reference is completely dependent on the observer.
Since in the given case a reference cannot be established outside the plane thus we cannot detect our motion.
Answer: _Pulse Doppler RADAR_ type of RADAR routes the calculated Doppler shift through a series of frequency-filters (bandpass filters), which results in the ability to distinguish between targets of different velocities.
Explanation: A pulse-Doppler RADAR determines the range to a target using pulse-timing techniques, and uses the Doppler effect of the returned signal to determine the target object's velocity. It merges the characteristics of pulse radars & continuous-wave radars, which were formerly distinct due to the complexity of the electronics.
