GO Three digital clocks A, B, and C run at different rates and do not have simultaneous readings of zero. Figure 1-6 shows simultaneous readings on pairs of the clocks for four occasions. (At the earliest occasion, for example. B reads 25.0 s and C reads 92.0 s.) If two events are 600 s apart on clock A, how far apart are they on (a) clock B and (b) clock C? (c) When clock A reads 400 s, what does clock B read? (d) When clock C reads 15.0 s, what does clock B read? (Assume negative readings for prezero times.)

- Explain why, when defining the length of a rod, it is necessary to specify that the positions of the ends of the rod are to be measured simultaneously.arrow_forwardThe time interval ΔΔt between two events measured by an observer moving with respect to a clock1 is usually shorter than the time interval ΔΔtp (ΔΔt < ΔΔtp) between the same two events measured by an observer at rest with respect to the clock. Group of answer choices True Falsearrow_forwardIn SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably more comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0 m/s = 3.6 km/h and (b) 1.0 m/s = 2.2 mi/h.arrow_forward

(Assume that 1 m = 3.281 ft.)arrow_forwardA conveyor belt is used to send burgers through a grilling machine. If the grilling machine is 1.2 m long and the burgers require 2.8 min to cook, how fast must the conveyor belt travel? If the burgers are spaced 25 cm apart, what is the rate of burger production (in burgers/min)?arrow_forwardThere is approximately 1033 J of energy available from the fusion of hydrogen in the world’s oceans. (a) If 0.35 • 1033 J of this energy were utilized, what would be the decrease in the mass of the oceans? Express your answer in kilograms. (b) How great a volume of water does this correspond to in cubic meters?arrow_forward

The value of FR by Cos law is:arrow_forwardAt what speed relative to a laboratory does a clock tick at half the rate of an identical clock at rest in the laboratory? Give your answer as a fraction of c.arrow_forwardSuppose that a person has an average heart rate of 91.0 beats/min. (Express your answers to problems in this section to the correct number of significant figures and proper units.) How many beats does he or she have in 6.0 y? How many beats does he or she have in 6.00 y? How many beats does he or she have in 6.000 y?arrow_forward
