A space traveller leaves Earth for 10 years at .85c. According to an observer on Earth, how much time has passed?

First of all, you didn't tell us WHO measured the "10 years".

If it was the people on Earth, then 10 years passed according to them.

If it was 10 years on the space traveler's clock,  then the clock in the
OTHER place, like on Earth, is subject to the relativistic 'time dilation'.

If the clocks are moving relative to each other, then the time interval measured
on either clock is equal to the interval measured on the other clock, divided by

       √(1 - v²/c²) .

You said that  v/c  = 0.85 .

v²/c² = (0.85)² = 0.7225

1 - v²/c² =  1 - 0.7225 = 0.2775

√(1 - v²/c²)  =  √0.2775 = 0.5268

If one clock counts up 10 years, then the other one counts up

(10years) / 0.5268 =  <em>18.983 years </em>


I believe that's the way to do this, and I'll gladly take your points,
but let me recommend that you get a second opinion before you
actually take off on your 10-year interstellar mission.

★ The point at which rays parallel to principal axis coming from infinity appear to converge after being refracted from concave lens is called the principal focus of concave lens.

★ Principal focus - A number of rays parallel to the principal axis after reflection from a concave mirror meet at a point on the principal axis or appear to come from a point after reflection from a convex mirror on the principal axis. This is called principal focus.

Components connected in series are connected along a single path, so the same current flows through all of the components. If the light bulbs are connected in parallel, the currents through the light bulbs combine to form the current in the battery, while the voltage drop is across each bulb and they all glow.

Arisa [49]
The first law states that “objects at rest and objects in motion remain in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force”. Keeping the ice smooth will make sure there is not friction, friction would slow the puck down

What force must be exerted on the master cylinder of a hydraulic lift to support the weight of a 2000-kg car (a large car) resti
Nataliya [291]

Archimedes principle states that

 

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2

F2 = (A2 / A1) * F1

 

Also, formula for the force is F = mg. Formula for the area of the cylinder is A = πr^2, therefore we get

 

F2 = (πr2^2 / πr1^2) * mg

 

Since the diameter of the cylinders are 2 cm and 24 cm, r1 = 12 and r2 = 1.

 

Substituting the values to the derived equation, we get

 

F2 = (π 1^2 / π 12^2) * 2400 * 9.8

F2 = 163.3333 N
