The starship Enterprise leaves a distant earth colony, which is nearly at rest with respect to the earth. The ship travels at ne

arly constant velocity toward earth. When the Enterprise reaches earth 1.03 y has elapsed, as measured on the ship. Clocks in the earth's reference frame show that the voyage lasted 2.76 y.
Required:
a. How far from earth is the colony, as measured in the reference frame of the earth?
b. How far from earth is the colony, as measured in the reference frame of the ship?

Explanation:

t = t/v(1-v^2/c^2)

3.10- 1.03 = 1.03/v(1-v^2/c^2)

2.07 = 1.03/v(1-v^2/c^2)

v(1-v^2/c^2) = 0.49

squaring both sides

(1-v^2/c^2) = 0.24

0.76 = v^2/c^2

v^2 = 0.76 × (3×10^8)^2

v = 0.873×10^8

v = 2.61×10^8 m/s

s = vt

t = 3.10 years = 3.10×365×24×3600 seconds = 9.7×10^8

s = 2.61×10^8× 9.7×10^8

s = 25.31×10^16 m

The length of a wooden rod is 25.5 cm. What is this length in:<br>(a) millimetres?<br>(b) metres?​
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

(a)255mm \\ (b)0.255m

Explanation:

(a)1cm = 10mm \\ 25.5cm = x

Cross multiply

1x = 25.5 \times 10 \\ x = 255mm

(b)100cm = 1m \\ 25.5cm = x

cross multiply

100x = 25.5 \\  \frac{100x}{100}  =  \frac{25.5}{100}  \\ x = 0.255m

hope this helps

brainliest appreciated

good luck! have a nice day!

The volume of a cube is 512 cm3. What would change if the volume of the cube were measured in cubic meters?. . A.. The volume of
Black_prince [1.1K]
We are given with a volume of a cube equal to 512 cm3. In this case, when the volume is expressed to cubic meters, the volume will still stay the same but the number of cubic units would decrease. a centimeter is a smaller unit than a meter, hence the value given should be divided by 1 million to express to m3.

How much gravitational force do two lead balls with a mass of 8 kilograms, the centers of mass of which are 17 cm apart, affect
Arisa [49]

Answer:

1.48×10⁻⁷ Newtons

Explanation:

From the question,

According to newton's law of universal gravitation.

F = Gmm'/r²........................ Equation 1

F = gravitational force, G = gravitational constant, m = mass of the first ball, m' = mass of the second ball, r = distance between the balls.

Given: m = m' = 8 kg, r = 17 cm = 0.17 m,

Constant : G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F =  (6.67×10⁻¹¹×8×8)/(0.17²)

F = 1.48×10⁻⁷ N

Autorhythmic cells can generate action potentials spontaneously because they have Autorhythmic cells can generate action potenti
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

They can generate potentials spontaneously because they have Unstable Membrane Potentials.

Explanation:

Autorythmic cells or Pacemaker cells are cells that provide Action potentials (electrical impulses) that starts off the cardiac cycle.

N:B This action potential is created spontaneously.

To explain further, the heart originate in specialized cardiac muscle cells, called autorhythmic cells, that can excite themselves and therefore are able to generate an action potential without external stimulation by nerve cells. And this sets the cardiac cycle i

(Pumping of the heart) into motion. (The pace maker potential)

The Autorhythmic cells create an action potential spontaneously

And this is possible because they have an UNSTABLE RESTING POTENTIAL that is continuously depolarizing, while it drifts slowly toward threshold. As Na+ ions enter the cell, the inner surface of the plasma membrane becomes less negative gradually, thus generating the pacemaker potential.
