Answer:

The scientific method helps test and arrive at conclusions for a variety of hypotheses that are created when studying environmental science.

Explanation:

What is the scientific method in environmental science?

The scientific method is a method of research with defined steps that include experiments and careful observation. One of the most important aspects of this method is the testing of hypotheses by means of repeatable experiments. A hypothesis is a suggested explanation for an event, which can be tested.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Complete question:

Part A:) The fictional rocket ship Adventure is measured to be 50 m long by the ship's captain inside the rocket.When the rocket moves past a space dock at 0.5c , space-dock personnel measure the rocket ship to be 43.3 m long. The rocket ship Adventure travels to a star many light-years away, then turns around and returns at the same speed. When it returns to the space dock, who would have aged less: the space-dock personnel or ship's captain?

Part B: What is the momentum of a proton traveling at 0.62 c ?

Answer

a)Who would have aged less=The Captain would have aged less

b) $p=3.96*10^{-19}kgm/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Length measured by captain $l_c=50m$

Speed of rocket past tje space dock $V=0.5c$

Length measured by space-dock personnel $l_c=43.3m$

Generally time moves slower when moving at speed of light, due to time dilation or variation.

Who would have aged less=The Captain would have aged less

Generally the equation for Relativistic Momentum is mathematically given as

$p=\frac{m*v}{1 - v^2/c^2}$

$p=\frac{1.67*10^2-27*0.62*3.0*10^8)}{\sqrt{ 1 -0.6^2}}$

$p=3.96*10^{-19}kgm/s$

Time dilation: A missile moves with speed 6.5-10 m/s with respect to an observer on the ground. How long will it take the missil

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The time taken by missile's clock is $4.6\times 10^{6} s$

Solution:

As per the question:

Speed of the missile, $v_{m = 6.5\times 10^{3}} m/s$

Now,

If 'T' be the time of the frame at rest then the dilated time as per the question is given as:

T' = T + 1

Now, using the time dilation eqn:

$T' = \frac{T}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$\frac{T'}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$\frac{T + 1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}$

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = (1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2})^{- \frac{1}{2}}$ (1)

Using binomial theorem in the above eqn:

We know that:

$(1 + x)^{a} = 1 + ax$

Thus eqn (1) becomes:

$1 + \frac{1}{T} = 1 - \frac{- 1}{2}.\frac{v_{m}^{2}}{c^{2}}$

$T = \frac{2c^{2}}{v_{m}^{2}}$

Now, putting appropriate values in the above eqn:

$T = \frac{2(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}{(6.5\times 10^{3})^{2}}$

$T = 4.6\times 10^{6} s$

a DJ uses a 110-volt outlet to plug in a strobe light. if the current flowing through the light is 0.050 amps, how much resistan

tigry1 [53]

Ohms Law: V = IR

V is the voltage in volts

I is the current in amps

R is the resistance in Ohms

Rearrange: R = V/I

R = (110)/(0.050)

R = 2200

There are 2200 Ohms of resistance in the circuit.

1)Determine, in terms of unit vectors, the resultant of the five forces illustrated in the figure, Consider F1=20 N, F2= 12 N, F

LiRa [457]

Explanation:

1) F₁ lies in a plane perpendicular to the xy plane, 60° from the x axis. The angle between F₁ and the +z axis is 30°. Therefore, the vector is:

<F₁> = 20 (sin 30° cos 60° i + sin 30° sin 60° j + cos 30° k)

<F₁> = 20 (¼ i + ¼√3 j + ½√3 k)

<F₁> = 5 i + 5√3 j + 10√3 k

F₂ is in the xy plane. Its slope is -24/7. The vector is:

<F₂> = 12 (-⁷/₂₅ i + ²⁴/₂₅ j + 0 k)

<F₂> = -3.36 i + 11.52 j

F₃ is parallel to the +x axis. The vector is:

<F₃> = 17 (i + 0 j + 0 k)

<F₃> = 17 i

F₄ is parallel to the -z axis. The vector is:

<F₄> = 15 (0 i + 0 j − k)

<F₄> = -15 k

F₅ is in the xy plane. It forms a 15° angle with the -y axis. The vector is:

<F₅> = 9 (-sin 15° i − cos 15° j + 0 k)

<F₅> = -9 sin 15° i − 9 cos 15° j

The resultant vector is therefore:

<F> = (5 − 3.36 + 17 − 9 sin 15°) i + (5√3 + 11.52 − 9 cos 15°) j + (10√3 − 15) k

<F> = 16.31 i + 11.49 j + 2.32 k

2) Sum of forces at point B in the x direction:

∑F = ma

Tbc cos 40° − ¹⁵/₁₇ Tab = 0

Tbc cos 40° = ¹⁵/₁₇ Tab

Tbc = 1.15 Tab

Sum of forces at point B in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Tbc sin 40° + ⁸/₁₇ Tab − mAg = 0

Tbc sin 40° + ⁸/₁₇ Tab = (2 kg) (10 m/s²)

(1.15 Tab) sin 40° + ⁸/₁₇ Tab = 20 N

1.21 Tab = 20 N

Tab = 16.52 N

Tbc = 19.02 N

Sum of forces at point C in the x direction:

∑F = ma

Tcd sin 25° − Tbc cos 40° = 0

Tcd sin 25° = Tbc cos 40°

Tcd = 1.81 Tbc

Tcd = 34.48 N

3(a) When the crane is on the verge of tipping, the center of gravity is directly over point F. Relative to point A:

3.7 m = [ (390 kg) (0.9 m) + (90 kg) (9 m cos θ + 1.7 m) + (80 kg) (9 m cos θ + 2.9 m) ] / (390 kg + 90 kg + 80 kg)

2072 kgm = 351 kgm + 810 kgm cos θ + 153 kgm + 720 kgm cos θ + 232 kgm

1336 kgm = 1530 kgm cos θ

θ = 29.17°

3(b) 3.7 m = [ (390 kg) (0.9 m) + (90 kg) (x + 1.7 m) + (80 kg) (x + 2.9 m) ] / (390 kg + 90 kg + 80 kg)

2072 kgm = 351 kgm + (90 kg) x + 153 kgm + (80 kg) x + 232 kgm

1336 kgm = (170 kg) x

x = 7.86 m

4) Find the lengths of the cables.

Lab = √((2 m)² + (3 m)² + (5 m)²)

Lab = √38 m

Lac = √((2 m)² + (3 m)² + (5 m)²)

Lac = √38 m

Lde = √((2 m)² + (3 m)²)

Lde = √13 m

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

-5/√38 Fab − 5/√38 Fac − 2/√13 Fde + Rx = 0

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

2/√38 Fab − 2/√38 Fac = 0

Fab = Fac

Sum of forces in the z direction:

∑F = ma

3/√38 Fab + 3/√38 Fac + 3/√13 Fde − mg = 0

Sum of moments about the y-axis:

∑τ = Iα

(3/√38 Fab) (5 m) + (3/√38 Fac) (5 m) + (3/√13 Fde) (2 m) − (mg) (2 m) = 0

Substitute Fab = Fac and simplify:

6/√38 Fab + 3/√13 Fde − mg = 0

30/√38 Fab + 6/√13 Fde − 2mg = 0

Double first equation:

12/√38 Fab + 6/√13 Fde − 2mg = 0

Subtract from the second equation:

28/√38 Fab = 0

Fab = 0

Fac = 0

Solve for Fde:

3/√38 Fab + 3/√38 Fac + 3/√13 Fde − mg = 0

3/√13 Fde = mg

3/√13 Fde = (1.7 kg) (10 m/s²)

Fde = 20.43 N

Solve for Rx:

-5/√38 Fab − 5/√38 Fac − 2/√13 Fde + Rx = 0

Rx = 2/√13 Fde

Rx = 11.33 N
