Captain Ray, on the Galactic Explorer, sets off bright signal lights at the two ends of his spaceship so that they are seen as f

lashing simultaneously by General Kay, who is watch the ship go by. General Kay concludes that she was next to the midpoint of the ship at the instant when the lights flashed in her reference frame. This can only happen if Captain Ray, at the center of the Galactic Explorer:________
a. sees the lights flash simultaneously in his coordinate system.

b. sees the bow (front) light flash before the aft (rear) light.

c. sees the aft (rear) light flash before the bow(front light.

d. can calculate that the light flashes reach Corporal Maxwell so that the flash from the bow light reaches him before the flash from the aft light.

e. can calculate that the light flashes reach Corporal Maxwell so that the flash from the aft light reaches him before the flash from the bow light.

Answer:

b. sees the bow (front) light flash before the aft (rear) light.

Explanation:

Galactic Explorer is the mission in which we explore about the universe. The spaceship signal has set its bright signal lights off at the end of two ends of the spaceship. The General Kay has concluded that when lights flashed are in her reference frame it will be midpoint of ship. This can happen when Captain Ray, sees bow light flash before aft light at the center of Galactic Explorer.

A tuning fork produces a sound with a frequency of 256 hz and a wavelength in air of 1.33 m. find the speed of sound in the vici
aalyn [17]
<span>We can think this through intuitively. A frequency of 256 Hz means that the wave has 256 cycles each second. If the wavelength is 1.33 meters, then there are 256 of them each second. Therefore, we just need to multiply the wavelength by the frequency to find the speed of sound. (Note that the units Hz = 1 / s) v = (frequency) x (wavelength) v = (256 Hz) x (1.33 m) v = 340.5 m/s The speed of sound in the vicinity of the fork is 340.5 m/s</span>

A pair of glasses is dropped from the top of a 32.0m stadium. A pen is dropped 2.Os later. How high above the ground is the pen
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

h_p = 30.46\ m

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion</u>

A free-falling object refers to an object that is falling under the sole influence of gravity. If the object is dropped from a certain height h, it moves downwards until it reaches ground level.

The speed vf of the object when a time t has passed is given by:

v_f=g\cdot t

Where g = 9.8 m/s^2

Similarly, the distance y the object has traveled is calculated as follows:

\displaystyle y=\frac{g\cdot t^2}{2}

If we know the height h from which the object was dropped, we can solve the above equation for t:

\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot y}{g}}

The stadium is h=32 m high. A pair of glasses is dropped from the top and reaches the ground at a time:

\displaystyle t_1=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 32}{9.8}}=2.56\ sec

The pen is dropped 2 seconds after the glasses. When the glasses hit the ground, the pen has been falling for:

t_2=2.56 - 2 = 0.56\ sec

Therefore, it has traveled down a distance:

\displaystyle y=\frac{9.8\cdot 0.56^2}{2} = 1.54\ m

Thus, the height of the pen is:

h_p = 32 - 1.54\Rightarrow h_p=30.46\ m

A block is projected with speed v across a horizontal surface and slides to a stop due to friction. The same block is then proje
natka813 [3]

Answer: C. The case on the inclined surface had the least decrease intotal mechanical energy.

Explanation:

First and foremost, it should be noted that the mechanical energy is the addition of the potential and the kinetic energy.

From the information given, it should be known that when the block is projected with the same speed v up an incline where is slides to a stop due to friction, the box will lose its kinetic energy but there'll be na increase in the potential energy as a result of the veritcal height. This then brings about an increase in the mechanical energy.

Therefore, the total mechanical energy of the block will decrease the least when the case on the inclined surface had the least decrease intotal mechanical energy.

If it takes an airplane 15 minutes to go from 30 mph to 330 mph, what is its acceleration?
zzz [600]
Using the a=vf-vi divided by tf-ti:
A is acceleration
Vf is final velocity- 330
Vi is intial velocity-30
Tf is final time-15
Ti is initial time-0
A = 330-30 divided by 15-0
A = 300 divided by 15
A= 20 m/s^2

Hope you can answer this: A Student Visits A Farm And Makes These Notes In Her Journal.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Common Sense

Explanation:

The chick has probably seen other chicks get caught by the Hawk and knows not to go near, or saw a giant bird flying straight towards it and used common sense to identify it as danger and run away. Although if this is for a test or a grade or something, please do not use the answer, it is most likely incorrect. This is honestly my best answer.
