You toss a ball into the air and note the time interval between the ball leaving your hand and reaching its highest position. Wh

ile you are doing this, a construction worker being lifted on a hydraulic platform at constant speed also notes the time interval needed for the ball to reach its highest position. Is the time interval reported by the worker longer, shorter, or the same as the interval you report?

Answer:

It is longer

Explanation:

According to the theory of special relativity, moving clocks run slower. So, the construction worker moving at a constant speed observers a time much longer than the time I observe since I am stationary. If t is the time observed by me and v is the speed of the construction worker, then, the time observed by the construction worker, t' is given by

t' = t/√[1 - (v/c)²] where c = speed of light

So, the construction worker reports a longer time interval than me since his time runs slower.

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

a)   E_{L} = -360 V , b)      t = 3 s

Explanation:

The electromotive force in an inductor is

           E_{L} = - L dI/ dt

in the exercise they give us the relation of i (t)

            i (t) = 1.00 t² -6.00t

we carry out the derivative and substitute

          E_{L} = - L (2.00 2t - 6.00 1)

a) the electromotive force at t = 1.00 s

          E_{L} = - 90.0 (4.00 1 - 6.00)

         E_{L} = -360 V

b) for t = 4 s

         E_{L}= - 90 (2 4 2 - 6 4)

         E_{L} = - 720 V

c) for the induced electromotive force to zero, the amount between paracentesis must be zero

           (2.00 t2 - 6.00t) = 0

            t (2.0 t-6.00) = 0

the solutions of this equation are

            t = 0

            2 t -6 = 0

            t = 3 s

to have a different solution the trivial (all zero) we must total t = 3 s

A coin is placed on a vinyl stereo record that is making 33 1/3 revolutions per minute on a turntable. (a) In what direction is
mamaluj [8]

Answer: a) The acceletarion is directed to the center on the turntable. b) 5 cm; ac= 0.59 m/s^2; 10 cm, ac=1.20 m/s^2; 14 cm, ac=1.66 m/s^2

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to consider teh expression of the centripetal accelartion for a circular movement, which is given by:

ac=ω^2*r where ω and r are the angular speed and teh radios of the circular movement.

w=2*π*f

We know that the turntable is set to 33  1/3 rev/m so

the frequency 33.33/60=0.55 Hz

then w=2*π*0.55=3.45 rad/s

Finally the centripetal acceleration at differents radii results equal:

r= 0.05 m  ac=3.45^2*0.05=0.50 m/s^2

r=0.1  ac=3.45^2*0.1=1.20 m/s^2

r=0.14 ac=3.45^2*0.14=1.66 m/s^2

Ampere is a fundamental unit why?​
stepan [7]

Answer:

The ampere was chosen as a base unit, because it is easily measured whereas the coloumb is not. Interestingly, there is a move a foot to redefine the ampere (which will remain a base unit) in terms of the fundamental charge on an electron (not in terms of coulomb).
