3. In what circumstance will a flash of lightning travel through the sky and touch the ground?

1 answer:

5 0

Answer: The answer is both. Cloud-to-ground lightning comes from the sky down, but the part you see comes from the ground up. A typical cloud-to-ground flash lowers a path of negative electricity (that we cannot see) towards the ground in a series of spurts.

An object is made of glass and has the shape of a cube 0.13 m on a side, according to an observer at rest relative to it. Howeve

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

$v=0.9833\ c$

Explanation:

The density changes means that the length in the direction of the motion is changed.

Therefore,

$\text{Density} = \frac{m}{lwh}$

Given :

Side, b = h = 0.13 m

Mass, m = 3.3 kg

Density = 8100 $kg/m^3$

So,

$8100=\frac{3.3}{l \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

$l=\frac{3.3}{8100 \times 0.13 \times 0.13}$

l = 0.024 m

Then for relativistic length contraction,

$l= l' \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.024= 0.13 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.184= \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$0.033= 1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\frac{v^2}{c^2}= 0.967$

$\frac{v}{c}=0.9833$

$v=0.9833\ c$

Therefore, the speed of the observer relative to the cube is 0.9833 c (in the units of c).

How long will the ball be in the air if the cliff is 120 m tall and the ball falls to the base of the cliff?

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

4.95s≈5s

Use equation :

h=G*t²/2

h=120m ----hight of cliff

G=9.81m/s²

t=?

-----------------------

h=G*t²/2

120m=9.81m/s²*t²/2

240m=9.81m/s²*t²

t²=240m/ 9.81m/s²

t²=24.46s

t=√24.46s²

t=4.95 s≈5s

Which of the following is a scalar? centripetal force<br> weight<br> speed<br> acceleration

choli [55]

Scalar is a quantity such as mass or length that is completely determined by its own magnitude and has no direction. Therefore, your answer is Speed.
