Albert and Emmy are looking to purchase some new spaceships. They pick out two identical single-seat space racers and take them

out to space for a test drive. After flying around for a while, they decide to do some experiments. As Albert flies past Emmy at a very high but constant velocity, Emmy measures the length of Albert's ship and compares it to the length of her own ship.
Emmy observes that Albert's ship is __________ her own ship.

At the same time, Albert observes Emmy's ship and compares it with his ship.

Albert observes that Emmy's ship is ___________ his own ship.

1) option B. Emmy observes that Albert's ship is shorter than her own ship.

2) option B. Albert observes that Emmy's ship is shorter than her own ship

Explanation:

Applying the principle of length contraction where the length of a moving object is seen as being contracted (shorter than its real length),the length of the object in the rest frame does not appear to change.

In this case, the space racer in his own ship measures a reduced length of the other ship flying past it at a high but constant speed. Moreover, the space racer in a ship measures the real length of his own ship and not a contracted length.

Therefore, Emmy will observe that Albert's ship is shorter than her own ship while Albert will also observe that Emmy's ship is shorter than his own ship. It is the principle of length contraction that holds

. Suppose that the displacement of an object is related to time according to the expression: x(t) = B t3 . Using dimensional ana
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The dimensionality of B is <em>length</em> per cubic <em>time</em>.

Explanation:

Units for displacement and time are <em>length</em> [L] and <em>time</em> [T], respectively. Then, formula can be tested for dimensional analysis as follows:

[L] = B\cdot [T]^{3}

Now, let is clear B to determine its units:

B = \frac{[L]}{[T]^{3}}

The dimensionality of B is <em>length</em> per cubic <em>time</em>.

A spaceship is headed toward Alpha Centauri at 0.999c. According to us, the distance to Alpha Centauri is about 4 light-years. H
aniked [119]

Answer:

According to the travellers, Alpha Centauri is <em>c) very slightly less than 4 light-years</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

For a stationary observer, Alpha Centauri is 4 light-years away but for an observer who is travelling close to the speed of light, Alpha Centauri is <em>very slightly less than 4 light-years. </em>The following expression explains why:

v = d / t

where

  • v is the speed of the spaceship
  • d is the distance
  • t is the time

Therefore,

d = v × t

d = (0.999 c)(4 light-years)

d = 3.996  light-years

This distance is<em> very slightly less than 4 light-years. </em>

If you are holding a book and you let go of it, why does it fall? Explain in terms of forces, potential energy, and kinetic ener
inessss [21]

Answer:

Let the mass of the book be "m", acceleration due to gravity be "g", velocity be "v" and height be "h".

Now if we are holding a book at a certain height (h), <em><u>the potential energy will be maximum which is equal to mass× acceleration due to gravity× height (= mgh)</u>.</em>

(Remember: kinetic energy =0)

Now we consider that the book is dropped, in this case a force will act downward towards the centre of the earth, <em><u>Force= mass× acceleration due to gravity (F=mg)</u></em>. It is equal to the weight of the book.

While the book is falling, the potential energy stored in the book converts into kinetic energy and strikes the floor with <em><u>the maximum kinetic energy= (1/2)×mass×velocity² (=1/2mv²)</u>.</em>

(Remember: kinetic energy=0)

Due to this process the whole energy is conserved.

As the potential energy decreases kinetic energy increases.

Increase the slit width to 1050 nm. What happens to the width of the central bright fringe? (Always remember to wait a few secon
djyliett [7]

Answer:

b.

Explanation:

In case of Single Slit, diffraction will occur.

Then In Single slit Diffraction, width of central fringe is

x_c= 2D\lambda/a&#10;

where D= distance b/w screen and slit

a= slit width

\lambda = wavelength

Thus if Screen width increases keeping other factors same then width of central fringe becomes narrower as

x_c\propto 1/a

On increasing the slit width the central bright fringe width The width of the central bright fringe becomes narrower.

What is the mass of a crate if a net force of 12 N gives the crate an acceleration of 0.20 m/s2?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
A :-) for this question , we should apply
F = ma
Given - F = 12 N
a = 0.20 m/s^2
Solution -
F = ma
12 = m x 0.20
m = 12 by 0.20
m = 60 kg

.:. The mass is 60 kg.
