In an intergalactic competition, spaceship pilots compete to see who can cover the distance between two asteroids in the short-

est time. The judges are at rest with respect to the two asteroids. From the judges' point of view, a pilot has covered the 3-million- km course in 20 seconds. From the pilots' point of view A. The course is longer than 3 million km, the time longer than 20 seconds. B. The course is longer than 3 million km, the time shorter than 20 seconds. C. The course is shorter than 3 million km, the time longer than 20 seconds. D. The course is shorter than 3 million km, the time shorter than 20 seconds. 24. I Energy in the sun is produced by the fusion of four hydrogen atoms into a helium atom. The process involves several steps, but the net reaction is simply 4'H THe + energy. Given this, you can say that A. One helium atom has more mass than four hydrogen atoms B One helium atom has less mass than four hydrogen atoms.

Answer:

a)  truc is C,  b) correct result is the B

Explanation:

As the speed of the competition is very high, for the judges the speed is

           v = d / t

           v = 3 109 m / 20

           v = 1.5 108 m / s

This is half the speed of light. For these high speeds we must use the relations of special relativity.

For the time          t = to γ

For distance         L = Lo / γ

                            γ = √ (1-v2 / c2)

Own time and distance (to and Lo) corresponds to the observer who is not moving the judges in this case

Let's look for the range value

                     γ = 1 / √ (1 - (1.5 / 3) 2) = 1 / 0.866 = 1.15

The time              t = 20 1.15 = 23 s

The distance       L = 3 10 9 /1.15 = 2.60 109 m

From these results we see that time increases and the distance is shorter.

Let's review the claims

A) False. It's the opposite

B) False

C) True. It is according to the result found

D) False.

In the nuclear fusion process, we will also use the special relativity that has a relationship between energy and mass

         ΔE = c² Δm

As in the process energy is released, for the law of conservation of the mass of energy to be fulfilled, the total mass of the products, He atom, must be reduced.

Therefore the correct result is the B

Light in vacuum travels at a speed of 3.00 x 10^8 m ^-1 s^-1 on average earth is 93,000,000 miles from the sun how many minutes
NemiM [27]
The correct unit for the speed of light is  [ m s⁻¹ ].

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (9.3 x 10^7 miles) x (1609 m/mile) / (3 x 10^8 m/s) = 498.8 seconds .

That would be  <em>8.31 minutes</em>.

Vector A has a magnitude of 63 units and points west, while vector B has the same magnitude and points due south. Find the magni
ozzi

Given :

Vector A has a magnitude of 63 units and points west, while vector B has the same magnitude and points due south.

To Find :

The magnitude and direction of

a) A + B .

b) A - B.

Solution :

Let , direction in north is given by +j and east is given by +i .

So , A=-63i and B=63j

Now , A + B is given by :

A+B=-63i+63j

| A+B | = 63\sqrt{2}

Direction of A+B is 45° north of west .

Also , for A-B :

A-B=-63i-63j

|A-B|=63\sqrt{2}

Direction of A-B is 45° south of west .

( When two vector of same magnitude which are perpendicular to each other are added or subtracted the resultant is always 45° from each of them)

Hence , this is the required solution .

What happens to light waves from a star as the star moves away from Earth?
AURORKA [14]
<h2>Answer: Light waves have a redshift due to the Doppler effect </h2>

The astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble observed several celestial bodies, and when obtaining the spectra of distant galaxies he observed the spectral lines were displaced towards the red (red shift), whereas the nearby galaxies showed a spectrum displaced to the blue.  

From there, Hubble deduced that the farther the galaxy is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum. <u>The same happens with the stars and this phenomenom is known as the Doppler effect. </u>

This phenomenon refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency (or wavelength=color) when the emitter of the waves, and the receiver (or observer in the case of light) move relative to each other.  For example, as a star moves away from the Earth, its espectrum turns towards the red.

A roller coaster at the Six Flags Great America amusement park in Gurnee, Illinois, incorporates some clever design technology a
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

5.95 m

Explanation:

Given that the biggest loop is 40.0 m high. Suppose the speed at the top is 10.8 m/s and the corresponding centripetal acceleration is 2g

For the car to stick to the loop without falling down, at the top of the ride, the centripetal force must be equal to the weight of the car. That is,

(MV^2) / r = mg

V^2/ r = centripetal acceleration which is equal to 2g

2 × 9.8 = 10.8^2 / r

r = 116.64 /19.6

r = 5.95 m
