Answer:

I think it is difficult to determine what has caused climate change in the distant past because it must have been a long time ago so geologists can't carry out different experiments and figure out what gases the planet had conjured, so geologists can only make predictions based off the evidence they currently have from what the planet looked like before. The planet must have changed over the years, therefore the climate has also changed in the future, so they cannot work with how the planet looked in the past.

A car drives past a pole at 40km/hr. Describe the motion from the point of view of a) the car, and b) the pole. Thanks in advanc
ki77a [65]
I was going to beg off until tomorrow, but this one is nothing like those others.
Why, at only 40km/hr, we can ignore any relativistic correction, and just go with Newton.

To put a finer point on it, let's give the car a direction.  Say it's driving North.

a).  From the point of view of the car, its driver, and passengers if any,
the pole moves past them, heading south, at 40 km/hour .

b).  From the point of view of the pole, and any bugs or birds that may be
sitting on it at the moment, the car and its contents whiz past them, heading
north, at 40 km/hour.

c).  A train, steaming North at 80 km/hour on a track that exactly parallels
the road, overtakes and passes the car at just about the same time as
the drama in (a) and (b) above is unfolding.

The rail motorman, fireman, and conductor all agree on what they have
seen. From their point of view, they see the car moving south at 40 km/hr,
and the pole moving south at 80 km/hr.

Now follow me here . . .

The car and the pole are both seen to be moving south.  BUT ... Since the
pole is moving south faster than the car is, it easily overtakes the car, and
passes it . . . going south.

That's what everybody on the train sees.

==============================================

Finally ... since you posed this question as having something to do with your
fixation on Relativity, there's one more question that needs to be considered
before we can put this whole thing away:

You glibly stated in the question that the car is driving along at 40 km/hour ...
AS IF we didn't need to know with respect to what, or in whose reference frame.
Now I ask you ... was that sloppy or what ? ! ? 

Of course, I came along later and did the same thing with the train, but I am
not here to make fun of myself !  Only of others.

The point is . . . the whole purpose of this question, obviously, is to get the student accustomed to the concept that speed has no meaning in and of itself, only relative to something else.  And if the given speed of the car ...40 km/hour ... was measured relative to anything else but the ground on which it drove, as we assumed it was, then all of the answers in (a) and (b) could have been different.

And now I believe that I have adequately milked this one for 50 points worth.

How long will it take to fall 50 m?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

down below

Explanation:

Since we aren't the given the time, lets say that an object to 25 seconds to fall 50 meters. We can use the formula [ s = d/t ] to solve.

s = 50/25

s = 2

Therefore, the object was falling at a rate of 2 meters per second.

Best of Luck!

snow_tiger [21]
I believe that solar energy would be the best energy for my town.  Solar energy is advantageous because the sun is up every day, and because it takes up much less space than than some other sources of renewable energy.  Some disadvantages of solar energy are that if there is cloud cover, hardly any energy will be gained at all.  Another disadvantage is that it is a long term investment that can take a while for it to pay for itself.

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

v = \left[\begin{array}{c}0.66&0\end{array}\right]m/s

Explanation:

The position vector r of the bug with linear velocity v and angular velocity ω in the laboratory frame is given by:

\overrightarrow{r}=vtcos(\omega t)\hat{x}+vtsin(\omega t)\hat{y}

The velocity vector v is the first derivative of the position vector r with respect to time:

\overrightarrow{v}=[vcos(\omega t)-\omega vtsin(\omega t)]\hat{x}+[vsin(\omega t)+\omega vtcos(\omega t)]\hat{y}

The given values are:

t=\frac{x}{v}=\frac{14}{3.8}=3.7 s

\omega=\frac{45\times2\pi}{60s}=4.7\frac{1}{s}
