Answer:

28.82 minutes

Explanation:

This problem is an example of time dilatation by acceleration. The formula is:

\Delta t=\gamma \Delta t_0=\frac{\Delta t_0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }}

\Delta t is the time measured by the observer on a fixed position (in this case in the fixed planet), \Delta t_0 is the time measured by the person moving away from the fixed observer (the one on an interplanetary express bus), c is the speed of light and v the velocity of the observer that is moving away (the velocity of the ship).

\Delta t_0=9 min=540s\\\Delta t=\frac{540}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.95c)^2}{c^2}}}=\frac{540}{\sqrt{1-\frac{0.95^2c^2}{c^2}}}=\frac{540}{\sqrt{1-0.95^2}}\\\Delta t=\frac{540}{\sqrt{1-0.9025}}=\frac{540}{\sqrt{0.0975}}=\frac{540}{0.3122}=1729.38s\\\Delta t=28.82minutes

What is the speed of an 800 kg automobile if it has a kinetic energy of 9.00 x 10^J?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Ek = 1/2 mv^2

9 × 10^4 = 1/2 × 800 × v^2

9 × 10^4/400 = 400 v^2 / 400

9 × 10^4/400 = v^2

√225 = v

15 ms⁻¹ = v

That's the only way I know how to work it out

I think in this case velocity and speed would be considered the same because me

s = d/t and v=d/t

one is distance travelled and the other is displacement of a body

Consider a uniform horizontal wooden board that acts as a pedestrian bridge. The bridge has a mass of 300 kg and a length of 10
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

F = 2123.33N

Explanation:

In order to calculate the torque applied by the left support, you take into account that the system is at equilibrium. Then, the resultant of the implied torques are zero.

\Sigma \tau=0

Next, you calculate the resultant of the torques around the right support, by taking into account that the torques are generated by the center of mass of the wooden, the person and the left support. Furthermore, you take into account that torques in a clockwise direction are negative and in counterclockwise are positive.

Then, you obtain the following formula:

-\tau_l+\tau_p+\tau_{cm}=0          (1)

τl: torque produced by the left support

τp: torque produced by the person

τcm: torque produced by the center of mass of the wooden

The torque is given by:

\tau=Fd           (2)

F: force applied

d: distance to the pivot of the torque, in this case, distance to the right support.

You replace the equation (2) into the equation (1) and take into account that the force applied by the person and the center of mass of the wood are the their weight:

-Fd_1+W_pd_2+W_{cm}d_3=0\\\\d_1=6.0m\\\\d_2=2.0m\\\\d_3=3.0m\\\\W_p=(200kg)(9.8m/s^2)=1960N\\\\W_{cm}=(300kg)(9.8m/s^2)=2940N

Where d1, d2 and d3 are distance to the right support.

You solve the equation for F and replace the values of the other parameters:

F=\frac{W_pd_2+W_d_3}{d_1}=\frac{(1960N)(2.0m)+(2940N)(3.0m)}{6.0m}\\\\F=2123.33N

The force applied by the left support is 2123.33 N

While on vacation, Carine rides in a hot-air balloon. To make the balloon rise, the pilot turns on a flame to warm the air insid
andre [41]

The air inside becomes warmer, and that makes it LESS DENSE.

Less-dense air FLOATS in denser air. Since it's inside the balloon, it picks the balloon up when it floats.

Pls help :(( I need help!! Its physics! motion and forces!
Delvig [45]

Answer: Pedaling your bike : acceleration :: applying the brakes : inertia.

The reason I think this to be the answer to the analogy is because there is energy and work used in both processes (and the unit focuses on forces); gravity is constant and does not change whether one pedals or applies brakes. And I do not think it's deceleration, as deceleration tends to equate to acceleration within the physics perspective.

Edit: I should also add that since you clarified that your unit is motion and forces, Newtons 1st law is the law of inertia. The way to change an objects motion for it to slow down is by applying an additional force. That resistance the bike experiences to slow is the process of inertia. Inertia happens in order to accelerate an object (either by slowing it down, or speeding it up): i.e., the resistance to change.
