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

If the rectangular barge is 3.0 m by 20.0 m and sits 0.70 m deep in the harbor, how deep will it sit in the river?
leva [86]

The harbour contains salt water while the river contains fresh water. So assuming that the densities of fresh water and salt water are:

density (salt water) = 1029 kg / m^3

density (fresh water) = 1000 kg / m^3

The amount of water (in mass) displaced by the barge should be equal in two waters.

mass displaced (salt water) = mass displaced (fresh water)

Since mass is also the product of density and volume, therefore:

<span>[density * volume]_salt water = [density * volume]_fresh water                 ---> 1</span>

 

First we calculate the amount of volume displaced in the harbour (salt water):

V = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * 0.70 m

V = 42 m^3 of salt water

Plugging in the values into equation 1:

1029 kg / m^3 * 42 m^3 = 1000 kg/m^3 * Volume fresh water

Volume fresh water displaced = 43.218 m^3

 

Therefore the depth of the barge in the river is:

43.218 m^3 = 3.0 m * 20.0 m * h

<span>h = 0.72 m        (ANSWER)</span>

Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the Moon on a 79 kg human standing on the surface of the Moon. (Th
Luden [163]

Answer:

F= 134.92 N

Explanation:

Given that

The mass of the moon ,M = 7.4 x 10²² kg

The mass of the man ,m = 79 kg

The radius ,R= 1.7 x 10⁶ m

The force exerted by moon is given as

F=G\dfrac{Mm}{R^2}

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{79\times 7.4\times 10^{22}}{(1.7\times 10^6)^2}\ N\\F=134.92 N

Therefore the force will be 134.92 N.

F= 134.92 N
