The statement which is correct to explain why car or train is not used to illustrate Newton’s laws in outer space.
Answer to Problem 1Q
Option (1).
Explanation of Solution
According to theory of relativity an object have different speed in different frames of references. For example consider an observer observes a car in one frame of reference, and another observer observes car in a different frame of reference. The speed of the car is is different for different observers. Thus a car or train have different speed in different frame of references.
But in case of spaceship, the speed of the spaceship is equal to the speed of the light for all observers.
Conclusion:
Car and train has different speed in different frame of reference, and they cannot move with the speed of the light. Car and train interact with other objects, thus speed of car and train is less than the speed of the spaceship. Hence first statement is true.
Since the spaceship moves with the speed of light, car and train cannot travel faster than spaceship. Hence second statement is correct.
Since the speed of the spaceship remains same when it moves around any planet, it will not interact with any object until crosses the orbital speed. Thus statement three is correct.
When a car or train placed outer space, there is no attraction from Earth’s gravitation field, sine the Earth’s gravity at outer space is zero. Hence statement four is incorrect.
Since the spaceship is away from the surface of Earth, it experience less gravitational force. When the spaceship moves away from Earth the gravitational attraction decreases. The spaceship experience less gravitational force.

- How can i solve this if n1 (refractive index of gas) and n2 (refractive index of plastic) is not known. And the brewsters angle isn't knownarrow_forward2. Consider the situation described in problem 1 where light emerges horizontally from ground level. Take k = 0.0020 m' and no = 1.0001 and find at which horizontal distance, x, the ray reaches a height of y = 1.5 m.arrow_forward2-3. Consider the situation of the reflection of a pulse at the interface of two string described in the previous problem. In addition to the net disturbances being equal at the junction, the slope of the net disturbances must also be equal at the junction at all times. Given that p1 = 4.0 g/m, H2 = 9.0 g/m and Aj = 0.50 cm find 2. A, (Answer: -0.10 cm) and 3. Ay. (Answer: 0.40 cm)please I need to show all work step by step problems 2 and 3arrow_forward
- look at answer show all work step by steparrow_forwardLook at the answer and please show all work step by steparrow_forward3. As a woman, who's eyes are h = 1.5 m above the ground, looks down the road sees a tree with height H = 9.0 m. Below the tree is what appears to be a reflection of the tree. The observation of this apparent reflection gives the illusion of water on the roadway. This effect is commonly called a mirage. Use the results of questions 1 and 2 and the principle of ray reversibility to analyze the diagram below. Assume that light leaving the top of the tree bends toward the horizontal until it just grazes ground level. After that, the ray bends upward eventually reaching the woman's eyes. The woman interprets this incoming light as if it came from an image of the tree. Determine the size, H', of the image. (Answer 8.8 m) please show all work step by steparrow_forward
