An object is made of glass and has the shape of a cube 0.13 m on a side, according to an observer at rest relative to it. Howeve

r, an observer moving at high speed parallel to one of the object's edges and knowing that the object's mass is 3.3 kg determines its density to be 8100 kg/m3, which is much greater than the density of glass. What is the moving observer's speed (in units of c) relative to the cube

Answer:

v=0.9833\ c

Explanation:

The density changes means that the length in the direction of the motion is changed.

Therefore,

$\text{Density} = \frac{m}{lwh}$

Given :

Side,  b = h = 0.13 m

Mass, m = 3.3 kg

Density = 8100 kg/m^3

So,

$8100=\frac{3.3}{l \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

$l=\frac{3.3}{8100 \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

l = 0.024 m

Then for relativistic length contraction,

$l= l' \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.024= 0.13 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.184=  \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.033=  1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\frac{v^2}{c^2}= 0.967$

$\frac{v}{c}=0.9833$

v=0.9833\ c

Therefore, the speed of the observer relative to the cube is 0.9833 c (in the units of c).

Light travels in a straight line at a constant speed of 300000 m/s. What is the acceleration of light?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

As light travels in a straight line at a constant speed, it's acceleration is <u>0 m/s²</u>.

There is no rate of change of speed, so there is no acceleration.

  • <u>0 m/s²</u> is the right answer.

The gravitational force experienced by Earth due to the Moon is ________ the gravitational force experienced by the Moon due to
Vsevolod [243]

The gravitational force experienced by Earth due to the Moon is <u>equal to </u>the gravitational force experienced by the Moon due to Earth.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The force that attracts any two objects/bodies with mass towards each other is defined as gravitational force. Generally the gravitational force is attractive, as it always pulls the masses together and never pushes them apart.

The gravitational force can be calculated effectively using the following formula: F=GMmr^2  

where “G” is the gravitational constant.

Though gravity has the ability to pull the masses together, it is the weakest force in the nature.

The mass of the Earth and moon varies, but still the gravitational force felt by the Earth and Moon are alike.

A 3874-kg rollercoaster is brought to the top of a 42m hill in 40 seconds,then drops 28m before the next hill.
Ede4ka [16]

(a) The work required to get the coaster to the top of the first hill is  1,594,538.4 J.

(b) The power required to bring the train to the top of the first hill is 39,863.46 W.

(c) The energy lost when the coaster drops is 531,512.8 J.

(d) The left at the bottom is determined as 1,063,025.6 J.

<h3>Work done to bring the rollercoaster top of the hill</h3>

W = Fn x d = mgh

W = 3874 x 9.8 x 42

W = 1,594,538.4 J

<h3>Power dissipated in bringing the rollercoaster on top hill</h3>

P = Fv

P = Fd/t

P = W/t

P = 1,594,538.4 /40 = 39,863.46 W

<h3>Energy lost when the coaster drops</h3>

E = 1,594,538.4 - (3874 x 9.8 x 28)

E = 531,512.8 J

<h3>Energy left at the bottom</h3>

E = 3874 x 9.8 x 28 = 1,063,025.6 J
