What's something that I've done in my life that is related to physics

1 answer:

That's a very difficult question to answer, because you give us
no information regarding what you have done in your life.

We can only assume that you have most likely breathed on occasion,
floated on your back in the ocean, lake or pool, maybe fallen off of a
ladder or out of bed, felt the warmth of the sun on your cheek, seen
a rainbow after a rainshower, heard the sound of thunder during a
summer storm, taken a trip in an airplane, and waited for a cup of
hot chocolate to cool off. The richness of any of these experiences
is greatly enhanced when you understand some of the Physics involved.

Answer:

85.62 m

168.75 years

101.04 years

Explanation:

$L_0$ = Length of ship = 143 m

v = Velocity of ship = 0.8c

c = Speed of light

s = Distance to Boralis orbit = 135 ly

Gamma value

$\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{0.8^2c^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \gamma=1.67$

Length contraction is given by

$L=\dfrac{L_0}{\gamma}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{143}{1.67}\\\Rightarrow L=85.62\ m$

The length is 85.62 m

Time taken

$t=\dfrac{s}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{135}{0.8}\\\Rightarrow t=168.75\ years$

Time taken from the perspective one Earth is 168.75 years

Time dilation is given by

$t'=\dfrac{t}{\gamma}\\\Rightarrow t'=\dfrac{168.75}{1.67}\\\Rightarrow t'=101.04\ years$

The time taken from the perspective of the ship is 101.04 years

A camera lens focuses on an object 75.0 cm from the lensThe image forms 3.50 cm behind the lens. What is the magnification of th

N76 [4]

Answer:

7/150

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Object distance (u) = 75cm

Image distance (v) = 3.5cm

Magnification (M) =..?

Magnification is simply defined as:

Magnification (M) = Image distance (v)/ object distance (u)

M = v /u

With the above formula, we can obtain the magnification of the image as follow:

M = v/u

M = 3.5/75

M = 7/150

Therefore, the magnification of the image is 7/150.

The transverse motion of a star can be determined by studying its spectrum. TRUE or FALSE

Klio2033 [76]

Nope.
False.
The shift in spectral lines reveals only 'radial' motion ...
motion toward us or away from us. The spectrum
carries no information related to motion across the
line of sight.
