Answer to Problem 1VSC

Solution:

At point, A, the expansion of the universe is accelerating.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The expansion of the universe happens with the change in the time. The distance between the two points increases. This is due to the expansion of space-time. The scale of space-time fabric itself changes. This expansion is given by four models namely, the re-collapsing universe, the critical universe, coasting universe, and accelerating universe as shown in the figure.

Point A is a time in the future. At point A, the expansion of the universe is accelerating. The two distant points in the universe would be moving farther apart. The scale of the space-time fabric was expanding. The galaxies would be moving apart more rapidly. The gravitational force would not be strong enough to decelerate or stop the expansion.

Conclusion:

Point A represents the accelerated expansion of the universe in the future.

Figure 8.14 shows a cube at rest and a small object heading toward it. (a) Describe the directions (angle 1) at which the small object can emerge after colliding elastically with the cube. How does 1 depend on b, the so-called impact parameter? Ignore any effects that might be due to rotation after the collision, and assume that the cube is much more massive than the small object. (b) Answer the same questions if the small object instead collides with a massive sphere.
2. A projectile is shot from a launcher at an angle 0,, with an initial velocity magnitude vo, from a point even with a tabletop. The projectile hits an apple atop a child's noggin (see Figure 1). The apple is a height y above the tabletop, and a horizontal distance x from the launcher. Set this up as a formal problem, and solve for x. That is, determine an expression for x in terms of only v₁, 0, y and g. Actually, this is quite a long expression. So, if you want, you can determine an expression for x in terms of v., 0., and time t, and determine another expression for timet (in terms of v., 0.,y and g) that you will solve and then substitute the value of t into the expression for x. Your final equation(s) will be called Equation 3 (and Equation 4).
