A supertrain with a proper length of 100 m travels at a speed of 0.950c as it passes through a tunnel having a proper length of

50.0 m. As seen by a trackside observer, is the train ever completely within the tunnel? If so, by how much do the train’s ends clear the ends of the tunnel?

Answer:

19m

Explanation:

we have proper length L = 100m

the speed of the train v = 0.95

the speed of light is given as = 3x10⁸

length of the tunnel is given as = 50 meters

we can solve for the lenght contraction as

LX√1-v²/c²

= 100 * √1-(0.95*3x10⁸)²/(3x10⁸ )

= 31.22 metres

the train would be well seen at

50 - 31.22

= 18.78

= this is approximately 19 metres

we conclude tht the trains ends clears the ends of the tunnel by 19 meters.

thank you!

A.) If its booster rockets accelerate the space shuttle at 15m/s2, how high will it be one minute after launch?
poizon [28]

Answer:

27,000 m

450 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the initial velocity is 0 m/s:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 15 m/s²

t = 60 s

A) Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (0 m/s) (60 s) + ½ (15 m/s²) (60 s)²

Δy = 27,000 m

B) Find: v_avg

v_avg = Δy / t

v_avg = 27,000 m / 60 s

v_avg = 450 m/s

What is the voltage of a motor that draws a current of 2 a and produces 240 w of power?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Here Power = Voltage * Current

So, Voltage = Power/Current

Put the values, 

V = 240/2

V = 120 V

In short, Your Final Answer would be: 120 Volts

Hope this helps!

In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object ________ the gain in momentum of another object.
Virty [35]

In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object is same as________ the gain in momentum of another object

according to law of conservation of momentum, total momentum before and after collision in a closed system in absence of any net external force, remains conserved . that is

total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

P₁ + P₂ = P'₁ + P'₂

where P₁ and P₂ are momentum before collision for object 1 and object 2 respectively.

P'₁ - P₁  = - (P'₂ -  P₂)

so clearly gain in momentum of one object is same as the loss of momentum of other object

Consider a loop of wire with a resistor. In the same plane, (with switch S closed) a long wire has a current I flowing from left
Ulleksa [173]

Solution :

The given figure is a loop of a wire with a resistor.

When the switch S is closed for long time and is suddenly opened, the direction of the induced current can be find out by using the rule of right hand screw. According to the right hand screw rule, the direction of the magnetic field at the loop is in the direction that points outwards. The strength of the current rapidly decreases as it is switch off and the magnetic flux that is linked with the loop wire will also decrease.

According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current must be such $\text{that it opposes}$ the decrease in the magnetic flux.  It means the direction of the magnetic field must be outwards and also normal to the plane of the screen. The direction of the induced anti clockwise or from right to left in the resistance.
