A millionairess was told in 1992 that she had exactly 15 years to live. However, if she immediately takes off, travels away from

the Earth at 0.8 c and then returns at the same speed, the last New Year's Day the doctors expect her to celebrate is:

Answer:

The expected year is 2017.

Explanation:

Total years that the millionaire to live = 15 years

Travel away from the earth at  = 0.8 c

This is a time dilation problem so if she travels at 0.8 c then her time will pass at slower. Below is the following calculation:

T = \frac{T_o}{ \sqrt{1-\frac{V^2}{c^2}}} \\T = \frac{15}{ \sqrt{1-\frac{0.8^2}{c^2}}} \\T = 25 years

Thus the doctors are expecting to celebrate in the year, 1992 + 25 = 2017

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

v^2=v_o^2-2\times a\times (v_o.t)

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of the vehicle, v_o

distance between the car and the tree, x_f

time taken to respond to the situation, t

acceleration of the car after braking, a

Using equation of motion:

v^2=u^2+2a.s ..............(1)

where:

v= final velocity of the car when it hits the tree

u= initial velocity of the  car when the tree falls

a= acceleration after the brakes are applied

s= distance between the tree and the car after the brakes are applied.

s=v_o\times t

Now for this situation the eq. (1) becomes:

v^2=v_o^2-2\times a\times (v_o.t) (negative sign is for the deceleration after the brake is applied to the car.)

A 13,000-N vehicle is to be lifted by a 25-cm diameter hydraulic piston. What force needs to be applied to a 5.0 cm diameter pis
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply Pascal's Law in fluid mechanics

According to it , pressure is transmitted in liquid from one point to another without any change .

25 cm diameter = 12.5 x 10⁻² m radius

Area = 3.14 x (12.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 490.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Pressure by vehicle

Force / area

13000 / 490.625 x 10⁻⁴

= 26.497 x 10⁴ Pa

5 cm diameter = 2.5 x 10⁻² radius

area = 3.14 x (2.5 x 10⁻²)²

= 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ m²

If we assume required force F on this area

Pressure = F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴ Pa

According to Pascal Law

F / 19.625 x 10⁻⁴  = 26.497 x 10⁴

F = 19.625 x 26.497

= 520 N

What is the internal energy (to the nearest joule) of 10 moles of Oxygen at 100 K?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

U = 12,205.5 J

Explanation:

In order to calculate the internal energy of an ideal gas, you take into account the following formula:

U=\frac{3}{2}nRT        (1)

U: internal energy

R: ideal gas constant = 8.135 J(mol.K)

n: number of moles = 10 mol

T: temperature of the gas = 100K

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

U=\frac{3}{2}(10mol)(8.135\frac{J}{mol.K})(100K)=12,205.5J

The total internal energy of 10 mol of Oxygen at 100K is 12,205.5 J
