Astronaut mark uri is space-traveling from planet x to planet y at a speed of relative to the planets, which are at rest relativ

e to each other. when he is precisely halfway between the planets, a distance of 1.0 light-hour from each one as measured in the planet frame, nuclear devices are detonated on both planets. the explosions are simultaneous in mark's frame. what is the difference in the time of arrival of the flashes from the explosions as observed by mark?

<span>From the point of view of the astronaut, he travels between planets with a speed of 0.6c. His distance between the planets is less than the other bodies around him and so by applying Lorentz factor, we have 2*</span>√1-0.6² = 1.6 light hours. On the other hand, from the point of view of the other bodies, time for them is slower. For the bodies, they have to wait for about 1/0.6 = 1.67 light hours while for him it is 1/(0.8) = 1.25 light hours. The remaining distance for the astronaut would be 1.67 - 1.25 = 0.42 light hours. And then, light travels in all frames and so the astronaut will see that the flash from the second planet after 0.42 light hours and from the 1.25 light hours is, 1.25 - 0.42 = 0.83 light hours or 49.8 minutes.

The radius of curvature is smaller at the top than on the sides so that the downward centripetal acceleration at the top will be
kap26 [50]

Answer:

v = 14.86 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that the force equation at the top is given as

\frac{mv^2}{R} = ma

now we know that

a_c = 1.5 g

so we have

\frac{v^2}{R} = 1.5 g

v = \sqrt{1.5 Rg}

so we will have

v = \sqrt{1.5(15)(9.81)}

v = 14.86 m/s

Photograph E shows a rechargeable torch. When a student shakes the torch, the magnet moves through the coil and back again. This
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a) according to Faraday's law , b) creating a faster movement, placing more turns on coil

Explanation:

a) The voltage is induced in the coil by the relative movement between it and the magnet, therefore according to Faraday's law

           E = - d (B A) / dt

In this case, the magnet is involved, so the value of the magnetic field varies with time, since the number of lines that pass through the loop changes with movement.

This voltage creates a current that charges the battery

b) There are several ways to increase the voltage

* creating a faster movement, can be done by the user

* placing more turns on the coil, must be done by the manufacturer

The kinetic energy of an object is increased by a factor of 4 . By what factor is the magnitude of its momentum changed?(a) 16(b
maw [93]

The kinetic energy of an object is increased by a factor of 4 . By what factor is the magnitude of its momentum changed: 2.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>
  • A particle or an item that is in motion has a sort of energy called kinetic energy. An item accumulates kinetic energy when work, which involves the transfer of energy, is done on it by exerting a net force.
  • Kinetic energy comes in five forms: radiant, thermal, acoustic, electrical, and mechanical.
  • The energy of a body in motion, or kinetic energy (KE), is essentially the energy of all moving objects. Along with potential energy, which is the stored energy present in objects at rest, it is one of the two primary types of energy.
  • Explain that a moving object's mass and speed are two factors that impact the amount of kinetic energy it will possess.

The kinetic energy of an object is increased by a factor of 4 . By what factor is the magnitude of its momentum changed: 2.
