The operator of a space station observes a space vehicle approaching at a constant speed v. The operator sends a light signal at

speed c toward the space vehicle. What is the speed of the light signal as viewed from the space vehicle

Answer:

The speed of the light signal as viewed from the observer is c.

Explanation:

Recall the basic postulate of the theory of relativity that the speed of light is the same in ALL inertial frames. Based on this, the speed of light is independent of the motion of the observer.

A system contains a perfectly elastic spring, with an unstretched length of 20 cm and a spring constant of 4 N/cm.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is

0.18 J

b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretched lenght.

Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).

First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:

4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²

EPE = 0.18 J

When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J

b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²

EPE = 0.72 J

When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

Lorenzo is making a prediction. “I learned that nonmetals increase in reactivity when moving from left to right. So I predict th
nadezda [96]
That prediction is not correct because Xenon is extremely stable; column 18 of the periodic table contains the noble gasses, which are stable because their outer-most energy levels are completely filled. Having the octet (8) of valence electrons means that the element no longer needs to lose or gain electrons to gain stability.

The column 17 elements are unstable because they only have one valence electron short of the stable octet configuration of the noble gasses.

Two insulated copper wires of similar overall diameter have very different interiors. One wire possesses a solid core of copper,
balandron [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of  solid core wire=r=2.28 mm=2.28\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

Radius of each strand  of thin wire=r'=0.456 mm=0.456\times 10^{-3} m

Current density of each wire=J=3750 A/m^2

a.Area =\pi r^2

Where \pi=3.14

Using the formula

Cross section area of copper wire has solid core =3.14\times (2.28\times 10^{-3})^2=16.3\times 10^{-6} m^2

Current density =J=\frac{I}{A}

Using the formula

3750=\frac{I}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}

I=3750\times 16.3\times 10^{-6}=0.061 A

Total number of strands=19

Area of strand wire=A'=19\times 3.14\times (0.456\times 10^{-3})^2=12.4\times 10^{-6} m^2

J'=\frac{I'}{A'}

3750=\frac{I'}{19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2}

I'=3750\times 19\times 3.14(0.456\times 10^{-3})^2

I'=0.047 A

b.Resistivity of copper wire=\rho=1.69\times 10^{-8}\Omega-m

Length of each wire =6.25 m

Resistance, R=\frac{\rho l}{A}

Using the formula

Resistance of solid core wire=R=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{16.3\times 10^{-6}}=6.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega

Resistance of strand wire=R'=\frac{1.69\times 10^{-8}\times 6.25}{12.4\times 10^{-6}}=8.5\times 10^{-3}\Omega

a film of transparent material 120 nm thick and having refractive index 1.25 is placed on a glass sheet having refractive index
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

a) 600nm

b) 300nm

Explanation:

the path difference = 2t  

t = thickness of the film

L' = wavelength of light in film = L/n

L = wavength of light in air

n = refractive index of glass

(a)

for destructive interference 2t = L'/2 = L/2n

L = 4*t*n

= 4*120*10^-9*1.25  

L = 600 nm

(b)

for constructive interference 2t = L' = L/1.25

L = 2tn

= 2 × 1.25 ×  120nm

= 300 nm
