Answer:
Stayed the same
Explanation:
Potential energy is a function of mass, gravity and height relative to a reference level. If we take as the reference level the soil, this is the level where the potential energy is zero. Since in problem it is mentioned that the track is flat, this means that there are no height changes with respect to the reference level, therefore we can say that the potential energy remains unchanged.
Ep = m*g*h
where:
m = mass [kg]
g = gravity [m/s^2]
h = elevation [m]
Answer:
the angle the ladder makes with the floor as seen by an observer on Earth is 71.9°
Explanation:
Given the data in the question and as illustrated in the diagram below.
speed of the ship v = 0.90c
base of the ladder from the wall x₀ = 3.0 m
top of the later above the floor y = 4.0 m
we determine angle θ.
from the diagram,
tanθ = y/x₀
tanθ = y / x₀√( 1 - v²/c² )
we substitute
tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - ((0.9c)²/c²) )
tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - ((0.9²)c²/c²) )
tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - (0.9²) )
tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√( 1 - 0.81 )
tanθ = 4.0 / 3.0√0.19
tanθ = 4.0 / 1.30766968
tanθ = 3.058876
θ = tan⁻¹( 3.058876 )
θ = 71.8965 ≈ 71.9°
Therefore, the angle the ladder makes with the floor as seen by an observer on Earth is 71.9°
True. For example the Big Bang theory; no one knows what really happened, but based on evidences that were found, it was found as a good way to explain the world's origin.
Answer: Distance is the actual position traveled by an object. Displacement is the shortest distance covered by the object.
Explanation:
Distance is the actual length covered by an object from one position to another. It is a scalar quantity. It cannot be negative.
Displacement is the shortest distance covered by the object. The displacement can be calculated by subtracting initial distance from the final distance. It is vector quantity. The displacement covered by an object can be zero, negative and positive.
Suppose, the boy travels from home to school then come back to his home. The distance between from his home to his school is 3 km.
In this case, the boy covers the total distance from home to school then to home is 6 km. But the displacement is zero because he comes to same position.
Air drag force..due to the air resistance!
