A star is moving toward the earth with a speed of 0.9 c (90% the speed of light). it emits light, which moves away from the star

at the speed of light. relative to us on earth, the speed of the light moving towards us (emitted by the star) is

The speed of light is constant in ALL frames of reference. That is 2.9 x10^8 m/s (290,000,000 m/s). It is independent of the motion of the light source.

The bird is held in level flight due to the force exerted on it by the air as the bird beats its wings. What is the maximum valu
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

 maximumforce is F = mg

Explanation:

For this case we must use Newton's second law,

     Σ F = m a

bold indicate vectors, so we will write it in its components x and y

 X axis

       Fₓ = maₓ

 Axis y

      Fy - W = m aa_{y}

Now let's examine our case, with indicate that the bird is level, the force of the wings can have a measured angle with respect to the x axis, where the vertical component is responsible for the lift, let's use trigonometry to find the components

      Cos θ = Fₓ / F

      Fₓ = F cos θ

      sin θ = Fy / F

      Fy = F sin θ

Let's replace and calculate

      F sin θ -w = m a

 

As the bird indicates that leveling at the same height, so the vertical acceleration is zero (ay = 0)

       F sin θ = w = mg

The maximum value of this equation occurs when the sin=1, in this case

      F = mg

A 6.0-cm-diameter, 11-cm-long cylinder contains 100 mg of oxygen (O2) at a pressure less than 1 atm. The cap on one end of the c
g100num [7]

Explanation:

The given data  is as follows.

Mass of oxygen present = 100 mg = 100 \times 10^{-3} g

So, moles of oxygen present are calculated as follows.

      n = \frac{100 \times 10^{-3}}{32}

         = 3.125 \times 10^{-3} moles

Diameter of cylinder = 6 cm = 6 \times 10^{-2} m

                              = 0.06 m

Now, we will calculate the cross sectional area (A) as follows.

    A = \pi \times \frac{(0.06)^{2}}{4}

        = 2.82 \times 10^{-3} m^{2}

Length of tube = 11 cm = 0.11 m

Hence, volume (V) = 2.82 \times 10^{-3} \times 0.11

                              = 3.11 \times 10^{-4} m^{3}

Now, we assume that the inside pressure is P .

And,   P_{atm} = 100 kPa = 100000 Pa,

Pressure difference = 100000 - P

Hence, force required to open is as follows.

      Force = Pressure difference × A

                = (100000 - P) \times 2.82 \times 10^{-3}

We are given that force is 173 N.

Thus,

         (100000 - P) \times 2.82 \times 10^{-3} = 173

Solving we get,

          P = 3.8650 \times 10^{4} Pa

            = 38.65 kPa

According to the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT

So, we will put the values into the above formula as follows.

                PV = nRT

    38.65 \times 3.11 \times 10^{-4} = 3.125 \times 10^{-3} \times 8.314 \times T

                    T = 462.66 K

Thus, we can conclude that temperature of the gas is 462.66 K.
