Suppose one twin takes a ride in a spaceship traveling at a very high speed to a distant star and then back again, while the oth

er twin remains on Earth. Compared to the twin who remained on Earth, the astronaut twin is

Answer:

C.Younger

Explanation:

Using Albert Eistein theory of relativity and time dilation a special concept in relativity it can be seen that the traveling twin moving clock goes slower in space unlike in earth,so by the time he returns he had spent only a short time in comparison to the other twin on earth that has spent much longer time

A gas laser has a cavity length of 1/3 m and a single oscillation frequency of 9.0 x 1014 Hz. What is the cavity mode number?
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

2 × 10⁶

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cavity length, L = \frac{1}{3}m

Oscillation frequency, f_m = 9.0 × 10¹⁴ Hz

Now,

we know,

f_m=\frac{c}{\lambda_m}

here,

c is the speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

\lambda_m = Wavelength of mode m inside the laser cavity

m is the cavity mode number

Thus,

9.0\times10^{14}=\frac{3\times10^8}{\lambda_m}

or

\lambda_m = \frac{1}{3} × 10⁻⁶

Also,

m\lambda_m = 2L

Therefore,

m × \frac{1}{3} × 10⁻⁶ = 2 × \frac{1}{3}

or

m = 2 × 10⁶

A starship passes Earth at 80% of the speed of light and sends a drone ship forward at half the speed of light rela- tive to its
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Check Explanation

Explanation:

Let the speed of the drone relative to earth be u = ?

Let the speed of the drone relative to the starship be u' = 0.5c

Let the speed of the starship relative to earth be v = 0.8c

In the theory of relativity,

The 3 speeds are related thus

u = (u' + v)/[1 + (u'v/c²)]

u = (0.5c + 0.8c)[1 + ((0.8c × 0.5c)/c²)]

u = 1.3c/[1 + (0.4c²/c²)]

u = 1.3c/1.4 = 0.9286 c = 0.93 c = 93% c

Maria throws an apple vertically upward from a height of 1.3 m with an initial velocity of +2.8 m/s. Will the apple reach a frie
evablogger [386]

Answer:

No, the apple will reach 4.20041 m below the tree house.

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 2.8 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = -9.81 m/s² = a (negative as it is going up)

Equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-2.8^2}{2\times -9.81}\\\Rightarrow s=0.39959\ m

The height to which the apple above the point of release will reach is 0.39959 m

From the ground the distance will be 1.3+0.39959 = 1.69959 m

Distance from the tree house = 5.9-1.69959 = 4.20041 m

No, the apple will reach 4.20041 m below the tree house.

A huge (essentially infinite) horizontal nonconducting sheet 10.0 cm thick has charge uniformly spread over both faces. The uppe
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

6.78 X 10³ N/C

Explanation:

Electric field near a charged infinite plate

=  surface charge density / 2ε₀

Field will be perpendicular to the surface of the plate for both the charge density and direction of field will be same so they will add up.

Field due to charge density of +95.0 nC/m2

E₁ = 95 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 ε₀

Field due to charge density of -25.0 nC/m2

E₂ = 25 x 10⁻⁹ /  2ε₀

Total field

E = E₁ + E₂

= 95 x 10⁻⁹ / 2 ε₀ + 25 x 10⁻⁹ /  2ε₀

= 6.78 X 10³ N/C

A flywheel of mass M is rotating about a vertical axis with angular velocity ω0. A second flywheel of mass M/5 is not rotating a
Contact [7]

Answer:

0.83 ω

Explanation:

mass of flywheel, m = M

initial angular velocity of the flywheel, ω = ωo

mass of another flywheel, m' = M/5

radius of both the flywheels = R

let the final angular velocity of the system is ω'

Moment of inertia of the first flywheel , I = 0.5 MR²

Moment of inertia of the second flywheel, I' = 0.5 x M/5 x R² = 0.1 MR²

use the conservation of angular momentum as no external torque is applied on the system.

I x ω = ( I + I') x ω'

0.5 x MR² x ωo = (0.5 MR² + 0.1 MR²) x ω'

0.5 x MR² x ωo = 0.6 MR² x ω'

ω' = 0.83 ω

Thus, the final angular velocity of the system of flywheels is 0.83 ω.
