Answer:
B. the light will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.
Explanation:
To an observer at rest in the rocket who can't see either sides of the rocket, the speed of the light is constant which means the distance to the front or the back is same and would appear to reach the rocket at the same time.
Although from the point of view of the person on the earth, the front of the rocket is travelling in opposite direction of the light while the back of the rocket is moving closer to the light. This means that the distance travelled by the light going forward will be longer going backwards. And since the speed of light is constant in both directions, the light will reach the back of the rocket before it reaches the front for the observer on the earth.
Answer:
A) 35 ft
B) 5 ft
C) Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick - distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick
Explanation:
A) Total distance covered by the dog = 20 + 15
= 35 ft
B) Since the other distance covered by the dog before chewing the stick, after the retrieval, was in an opposite direction to the initial direction, then;
total displacement of the dog = 20 - 15
= 5 ft
C) Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick + distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick
But, displacement involves a specified direction. The distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick was in an opposite direction to the initial direction.
Thus,
Net displacement = distance covered by the dog to retrieve the stick - distance covered before the dog starts chewing the stick
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Reyleigh's criteria. Here the resolution of the eye is defined as 1.22 times the wavelength over the diameter of the eye. Mathematically this is,
Here,
D is diameter of the eye
The angle that relates the distance between the lights and the distance to the lamp is given by,
For small angle, 
Here,
d = Distance between lights
L = Distance from eye to lamp
For small angle 
Therefore,
Therefore the distance is 5.367km.
Answer:
500 m
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity = 50 m/s
v = Final velocity = 0
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration = -2.5 m/s²
Equation of motion
Time taken by the train to stop is 20 seconds
∴ The engineer applied the brakes 500 m from the station
