Answer:

Relativistic velocity is of the order of 1/10th of the velocity of light

Explanation:

We define relativistic speed (or velocity) as a speed that is a significant fraction of the speed of light: c = 3*10^8 m/s

Such that for these speeds, the special relativity theory starts to apply (the relativity effects starts to apply).

Usually, we define relativistic speeds as those that are of the order (or larger) of c/10, which is one-tenth of the speed of light.

Then the correct option is C:

Relativistic velocity is of the order of 1/10th of the velocity of light

The masses of the Moon and Earth are 7.35 x 1022 kg and 5.97 x 1024 kg, respectively. The strength of the gravitational force be
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Distance between centre of Earth and centre of Moon is 3.85 x 10⁸ m

Explanation:

The attractive force experienced by two mass objects is known as Gravitational force.

The gravitational force is determine by the relation:

F=\frac{Gm_{1} m_{2} }{d^{2} }      ....(1)

According to the problem,

Mass of Moon, m₁ = 7.35 x 10²² kg

Mass of Earth, m₂ = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

Gravitational force experienced by them, F = 1.98 x 10²⁰ N

Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²kg⁻²

Substitute these values in equation (1).

1.98\times10^{20} =\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times7.35\times10^{22}\times5.97\times10^{24} }{d^{2} }

d^{2}=\frac{2.93\times10^{37}}{1.98\times10^{20}}

d=\sqrt{1.48\times10^{17}}

d = 3.85 x 10⁸ m

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy. If a car was released down the track from a height what happens to the potential ene
erastova [34]

Answer:

According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed,  although it can be changed from one form to another.    KE + PE = constant. A simple example involves a stationary car at the top of a hill.  As the car coasts down the hill, it moves faster and so it’s kinetic energy increases and it’s potential energy decreases.  On the way back up the hill, the car converts kinetic energy to potential energy.  In the absence of friction, the car should end up at the same height as it started.

This law had to be combined with the law of conservation of mass when it was determined that mass can be inter-converted with energy.

One can also imagine the energy transformation in a pendulum.  When the ball is at the top of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is potential energy.   When the ball is at the bottom of its swing, all of the pendulum’s energy is kinetic energy.   The total energy of the ball stays the same but is continuously exchanged between kinetic and potential forms

1) 15 / 12 = 1.25 ratio
2) to increase acceleration  1.25 times (with same F, or same engine) you have to lower mass 1.25 times
3) 1515/1.25 = 1212 kg
