An astronaut is traveling in a space vehicle that has a speed of 0.480c relative to Earth. The astronaut measures his pulse rate

at 78.5 per minute. Signals generated by the astronaut's pulse are radioed to Earth when the vehicle is moving perpendicularly to a line that connects the vehicle with an Earth observer. (Due to vehicle's path there will be no Doppler shift in the signal.)
(a) What pulse rate does the Earth-based observer measure? beats/min
(b) What would be the pulse rate if the speed of the space vehicle were increased to 0.940c?
beats/min

Explanation:

The heart rate of the astronaut is 78.5 beats per minute, which means that the time between heart beats is 0.0127 min. This will be the time t measured by the moving observer. The time t' measured by the stationary Earth-based observer is given by

t' = \dfrac{t}{\sqrt{1 - \left(\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}\right)}}

a) If the astronaut is moving at 0.480c, the time t' is

t' = \dfrac{0.0127\:\text{min}}{\sqrt{1 - \left(\dfrac{0.2304c^2}{c^2}\right)}}

\:\:\:\:=0.0145\:\text{min}

This means that time between his heart beats as measured by Earth-based observer is 0.0145 min, which is equivalent to 69.1 beats per minute.

b) At v = 0.940c, the time t' is

t' = \dfrac{0.0127\:\text{min}}{\sqrt{1 - \left(\dfrac{0.8836c^2}{c^2}\right)}}

\:\:\:\:=0.0372\:\text{min}

So at this speed, the astronaut's heart rate is 1/(0.0372 min) or 26.9 beats per minute.

A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s toward an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling in the opposite direction on th
Serhud [2]

The initial momentum of the yellow and the orange train is 1000kgm/s.

Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of any object.

Momentum is denoted by P.

Momentum P = mv , where m = mass and v = velocity.

<h3>Given:</h3>

Mass of the orange train = 200kg

Velocity of the orange train = 1m/s

So, the momentum of the orange train will be,

                            ∴    P = mv

                                  P = 200 x 1

                                  P = 200 kgm/s

∴   The initial momentum of the orange train is 200kgm/s.

Mass of the yellow train = 100kg

Velocity of the yellow train = 8m/s

So, the momentum of the yellow train will be,

                            ∴    P = mv

                                  P = 100 x 8

                                  P = 800 kgm/s

∴ The initial momentum of the yellow train is 800kgm/s.

Therefore, the initial momentum of the yellow and the orange train is 1000kgm/s.

Three strings, attached to the sides of a rectangular frame, are tied together by a knot as shown in the figure. The magnitude o
Anna [14]

The magnitude of the tension in the string marked A is 52.5N

Generally, the equation for is mathematically given as

Let's take θ be an angle at A

So, tanθ = 3/8

Let's take α be an angle at B (Below X)

tanα = 5/4

Let's take β be an angle at C (Below x)

tanβ = 1/6

First we take the Horizontal Components

74.9cos(9.46°) = Acos(20.6°) + Bcos(51.3°)

By solving the equation, we get

A = 78.9 - 0.668B … (1)

Now, we take the vertical components

74.9sin(9.46°) + Asin(20.6°) = Bsin(51.3°)

By solving the equation, we get

40.07 = 1.015B

B = 39.5N

By substituting the value of B in equation (1)

A = 78.9 - 0.6668× 39.5

A = 52.5N

Hence, the magnitude of the tension in the string marked A is 52.5N
