A measure in which the reference system, which is the Earth is
at rest is done. A spaceship traveling 0.0964c 11.2y takes to
travel between planets. How long do you think someone is inside the
spaceship that was the trip?
Suppose that the Earth
was thermally insulated from the rest of the universe so that it
was an isolated system. Describe the entropy of the Earth as a
function of time.
Consider taking two
identical ice cubes out of the freezer. You place one in a cup and
let it melt; you take the other and smash it with a hammer and then
put it in an identical cup and allow it to melt. Compare the
entropy changes of the...
A rocket sits initially at rest on the surface of the earth,
until it begins burning its engines. While burning its engines, it
accelerates upward at 30.0 m/s2 for 30.0 s. It then runs
out of fuel and continues ascending to its maximum height in free
fall. Ignoring air resistance, (i) what is the rocket’s maximum
altitude, and (ii) how much time passes from liftoff to reaching
its maximum altitude?
An inertial reference system S' moves in the x-direction at
speed υ relative to reference system S. The axis x’ slides along
the x axis. Considering a uniform electric field in the region
between the plates of a large parallel plate capacitor moving with
S'. Show that the component of electric field E parallel to the
motion is unchanged, that is, Ex = Ex’. [
An
object is at rest on the ground. The object experiences a downward
gravitational force from Earth. Which of the following predictions
is correct about why the object does not accelerate downward?
Select two answers. Justify your selections.A) The bonded molecules of the object are repelled upward by
the bonded molecules of the ground with the same magnitude as the
gravitational force downward on the object.B)The normal force is exerted upward on the object from the
ground with the same...
Physical proof of Earth sphericity ?
Q)
a) Also stay at rest.
Inertia is the property of mass in which an object at
rest wants to stay at rest, and an object that is
moving wants to _____.
b) Stay moving in a straight line unless acted upon by
another
force.
c) Stay moving in a circular motion unless acted upon by
another force.
d) Stay moving in a straight line, but only if it has been
acted
upon by...
From the reference frame of the Earth, a 0.0500-kilogram ball
moving in the +x
direction at 4.0 m/s overtakes and collides with a 0.1000-kg ball
moving in the +x direction
at 2.0 m/s. Assume that the collision is perfectly elastic, with
all motion after the collision
also along the x axis, and that the balls are moving on a
horizontal, friction-less surface.
Only Galilean relativity is needed for this problem.
(1) Calculate the speed and directions of each ball after...
Consider a system in any suitable reference plan for which the
Generalized forces Qj transformed to Fr, rFθ and what will be the
total Kinetic energy for that system.
Challenge problem. (extra credit) Suppose we are on our way to
Proxima Centauri, which is 4.2 ly away (in the reference frame of
the Earth). We are in a space ship which is traveling with a speed
of .99148 c. When we are half-way there, we send a signal to both
the Earth and Proxima Centauri. The signals travel at the speed of
light c. In the reference frame of the Earth and Proxima Centauri,
both signals travel 2.1 ly...
