A space station sounds an alert signal at time intervals of 1.00 h . Spaceships A and B pass the station, both moving at 0.400c0

relative to the station but in opposite directions.
Part A
How long is the time interval between signals according to an observer on A?
Part B
How long is the time interval between signals according to an observer on B?
Part C

Answer:

(A). The the time interval between signals according to an observer on A is 1.09 h.

(B). The time interval between signals according to an observer on B is 1.09 h.

(C). The speed is 0.866c.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time interval = 1.00 h

Speed = 0.400 c

(A). We need to calculate the the time interval between signals according to an observer on A

Using formula of time

\Delta t=\dfrac{\Delta t_{0}}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta t=\dfrac{1.00}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{0.400c}{c})^2}}

\Delta t=\dfrac{1.00}{\sqrt{1-(0.400)^2}}

\Delta t=1.09\ h

(B). We need to calculate the time interval between signals according to an observer on B

Using formula of time

\Delta t=\dfrac{\Delta t_{0}}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta t=\dfrac{1.00}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{0.400c}{c})^2}}

\Delta t=\dfrac{1.00}{\sqrt{1-(0.400)^2}}

\Delta t=1.09\ h

(C). Here, time interval of 2.00 h between signals.

We need to calculate the speed

Using formula of speed

\Delta t=\dfrac{\Delta t_{0}}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}}

Put the value into the formula

2.00=\dfrac{1.00}{\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}}

\sqrt{1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2}=\dfrac{1.00}{2.00}

1-(\dfrac{v}{c})^2=(\dfrac{1.00}{2.00})^2

(\dfrac{v}{c})^2=\dfrac{3}{4}

v=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}c

v=0.866c

Hence, (A). The the time interval between signals according to an observer on A is 1.09 h.

(B). The time interval between signals according to an observer on B is 1.09 h.

(C). The speed is 0.866c.

morpeh [17]

Answer:

The increase in the gravitational potential energy is 29.93 joules.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the box, m = 2.35 kg

It is lifted from the floor to a tabletop 1.30 m above the floor, h = 1.3 m

We need to find the increase the gravitational potential energy. Initial it will placed at ground i.e. its initial gravitational potential is equal to 0. The increase in the gravitational potential energy is given by :

U=mgh

U=2.35\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2\times 1.3\ m

U = 29.93 Joules

So, the increase in the gravitational potential energy is 29.93 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
