I see the light moving exactly at speed equal to c.

In fact, the second postulate of special relativity states that:
"The speed of light in free space has the same value c<span> in all inertial frames of reference."
</span>
The problem says that I am moving at speed 2/3 c, so my motion is a uniform motion (constant speed). This means I am in an inertial frame of reference, so the speed of light in this frame must be equal to c.

A ball is dropped from the top of a building.After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. Calculate the accelerati
zlopas [31]

Answer:

acceleration, a = 9.8 m/s²

Explanation:

'A ball is dropped from the top of a building' indicates that the initial velocity of the ball is zero.

u = 0 m/s

After 2 seconds, velocity of the ball is 19.6 m/s.

t = 2s, v = 19.6 m/s

Using

v = u + at

19.6 = 0 + 2a

a = 9.8 m/s²

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidentally
vazorg [7]

Answer:

a. v1 = 5.06 m/s,  v2 = 3.96 m/s ,  R = 1.27

b. t = 1 hr, 11 min, 26 sec  

Explanation:

Using the Bernoulli's laws to use the conserved energy

a. Solve the speed and the radio of this speed of the tank is open to the air

p₀ + ρgh₀ + ½ρv₀² = p₁ + ρgh₁ + ½ρv₁²

5000Pa + 1000kg/m³ * 9.8m/s² * 0.800m + 0 = 0 + 0 + ½ * 1000kg/m³ * v²

v² = 25.68  m²/s²

v1 = 5.06 m/s

Because it is open the tank so P=0 pa so:

0 Pa + 1000kg/m³ * 9.8m/s² * 0.800m + 0 = 0 + 0 + ½ * 1000kg/m³ * v²

v² = 15.68  m²/s²

v2 = 3.96 m/s

The ratio on the air is solve using both velocities so:

R = v1/v2 = 5.06 m/s / 3.96 m/s

R = 1.27

b. Now to find the time it takes for the tank to drain if the tank is open to the air

dh/dt = -u

dh/dt = -v * A/A'

dh/dt = v*(.02m)²/(2.0m)² = -v / 10000

and we can further substitute for v:

dh/dt = -(1/1e4)*√[(p+9800h)/500]

Solve replacing

-(1000/49)*√(49000h) = t + C

-(1000/49)*√(49000*0.8) = 0 + C

C = - 4040.6

Then when h = 0,

t = 4286 s

t = 1 hr, 11 min, 26 sec

Trace fossils are recognized as evidence of which pre-existing life? plants plants and animals neither plants nor animals animal
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

a fossil of a footprint, trail, burrow, or other trace of an animal rather than of the animal itself.

Explanation:

Trace fossils are the indirect evidence of life in the past, such as the footprints, tracks, burrows, borings, and feces left behind by animals, rather than the preserved remains of the actual animal body itself.

Fossil is the naturally preserved remains of plants and animals which somehow get trapped in amber, hair, petrified wood, oil, coal, and DNA remnants.

A car drives around a racetrack for 30 seconds. what do you need to know to calculate the average velocity of the car?
boyakko [2]
The time is given, and you want to find the average velocity. To do this, you need to know the distance covered by the driver around the racetrack in that 30 seconds. You divide this by the time, then you will obtain the average velocity in units of, say meters per second.
