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.

We decided to make an iced latte by adding ice to a 200 mL hot latte at 45 °C. The ice starts out at 0 C. How much ice do we nee
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

m = 77.75 g

Explanation:

Here we know that at equilibrium the temperature of the system will be 10 degree C

so heat given by hot latte = heat absorbed by the ice

now we have

heat given by latte = m s\Delta T

Q_1 = (200)(4.186)(45 - 10)

Q_1 = 29302 J

now heat absorbed by ice is given as

Q_2 = mL + ms\Delta T

Q_2 = m(335 + 4.186(10 - 0))

Q_2 = m(376.86)

now by heat balance we have

Q_1 = Q_2

29302 = m(376.86)

m = 77.75 g

What does convection mean
Sladkaya [172]
Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat

How are the three cell layers of an embryo related to its development?
Andru [333]
The said development of the cell where the three cell layers help out do it is called as Gastrulation. The three layers - called as ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm - tend to form as this happens. This is a process that's present in all living things except sponges.
