Complete question is;

Kamal said the distance from the top of the balloon to the ground in the Example image attached is √353 ft. What mistake might Kamal have made?

Answer:

the mistake Kamal made is that she probably used 17 ft as the perpendicular side of the triangle with b as the hypotenuse instead of using 17ft as the hypotenuse

Explanation:

From the image attached, we can see that the distance from the top of the balloon which is blue in color to the ground is denoted by "b".

Now the triangle is a right angle triangle with hypotenuse = 15ft + 2ft = 17 ft; the adjacent side = 8 ft, while the opposite side is "b".

Thus, we can use pythagoras theorem to solve this as;

b = √(17² - 8²)

b = √(289 - 64)

b = √225

b = 15ft

However,we are told Kamal got b as √353 ft.

From inspection of the calculations we just did, if we had used addition instead of subtraction, we would have gotten b = √353 ft.

Thus, we can under that the mistake Kamal made is that she probably used 17 ft as the perpendicular side of the triangle with b as the hypotenuse instead of using 17ft as the hypotenuse.

Why does the gravitational field strength increase with latitude
otez555 [7]
The second major reason for the difference in gravity at differentlatitudes is that the Earth's equatorial bulge (itself also caused by centrifugalforce from rotation) causes objects at the Equator to be farther from the planet's centre than objects at the poles.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Complete question:

Part A:) The fictional rocket ship Adventure is measured to be 50 m long by the ship's captain inside the rocket.When the rocket moves past a space dock at 0.5c , space-dock personnel measure the rocket ship to be 43.3 m long. The rocket ship Adventure travels to a star many light-years away, then turns around and returns at the same speed. When it returns to the space dock, who would have aged less: the space-dock personnel or ship's captain?

Part B: What is the momentum of a proton traveling at 0.62 c ?

Answer

a)Who would have aged less=The Captain would have aged less

b) p=3.96*10^{-19}kgm/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Length measured by captain l_c=50m

Speed of rocket past tje space dock V=0.5c

Length measured by space-dock personnel l_c=43.3m

a)

Generally time moves slower when moving at speed of light, due to time dilation or variation.

Who would have aged less=The Captain would have aged less

b)

Generally the equation for Relativistic Momentum  is mathematically given as

p=\frac{m*v}{1 - v^2/c^2}

p=\frac{1.67*10^2-27*0.62*3.0*10^8)}{\sqrt{ 1 -0.6^2}}

p=3.96*10^{-19}kgm/s
