The relativistic contraction only affects the stick in the direction it's traveling. So if it's moving to the right but standing vertically, then I'll measure it to be 1 meter long, but the stick will be as skinny as a toothpick as it passes me.

aniked [119]

Answer:

Explanation:

The half life of a radioactive substance is the time in which the activity of the radioactive substance becomes half of its initial activity.

Or

The time in which the amount of radioactive substance becomes half of its initial amount in a sample.

It is denoted by T .

The relation between the decay constant and the half life is given by

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{T}

3. Automobile companies often test the safety of cars by putting them through crash tests to observe the integrity of the passen
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Time taken for car to stop = 0.89 seconds (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of car = 1100 kg

Speed of car = 15 m/s

Impact force = 185,000 N

Find:

Time taken for car to stop

Computation:

Change in momentum of car = M(v) - M(u)

Change in momentum of car = 1100(0) - 1100(15)

Change in momentum of car = -16,500

Time taken for car to stop = I Change in momentum of car I / Impact force

Time taken for car to stop = I-16,500I / 185,000

Time taken for car to stop = 0.89 seconds (Approx.)

Calculate the net force and the acceleration on the block
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Net Force = 10N

Acceleration = 2m/s^2

Explanation:

calculate the net force and the acceleration on the block

Net force on the block F = mass * acceleration

Net force acting in the positive direction = 4N + 6N = 10N

Mass = 5kg

According to newton's second law;

a = F/m

a = 10N/5

a = 2m/s^2

hence the acceleration on the block is 2m/s^2
