Answer:

W = 30.38 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a rock, m = 3.1 kg

We need to find the weight of the rock on the surface of Earth. Weight of an object is given by :

W = mg

g is the acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

W = 3.1 kg × 9.8 m/s²

= 30.38 N

So, the weight of the rock on the Earth is 30.38 N.

Relativistic velocity is of the order of _____ of velocity of light A- 1/15th of the velocity of light B-1/20th of the velocity

ratelena [41]

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

Bullets from two revolvers are fired with the same velocity. The bullet from gun #1 is twice as heavy as the bullet from gun #2.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

Let mass of the bullet be m and velocity be v

mass of gun be M and bullet be V

now,

using conservation of momentum for gun 1

(M+m) V' = 2 mv + 3 MV

V' = 0

3 M V = - 2 mv

momentum of gun 1 =- 2 mv---------(1)

now for gun 2

(M+m) V' = mv + MV

V' = 0

M V = - mv

momentum of gun 1 = -mv-----------(2)

dividing equation (1) by (2)

$\dfrac{P_m1}{P_m2} = \dfrac{- 2mv}{-mv}$

$\dfrac{P_m1}{P_m2} = \dfrac{2}{1}$

the correct answer is option C
