A481-m long spaceship passes by an observer at the speed of 2.70×10^8 m/s. what length does the observer measure for the spaceship?

209.66 m

Explanation:

Given:

Original length of the spaceship, L = 481 m

Speed of the spaceship, v = 2.70 × 10⁸ m/s

Now,

using the concept of length contraction, we have

where,

L' is the observed length

c is the speed of the light

Thus,

on substituting the respective values, we get

or

L'  = 209.66 m

freezing

deposition

condensation

explanation;

melting also called fusion is the process where solid becomes liquid, sublimation is the process where solid becomes gaseous without first changing to liquid, deposition involves change from gaseous to solid state, freezing involves change from liquid to solid, boiling or evaporation involves change of liquid to gaseous state, while condensation is the change from gaseous state to liquid state.

endothermic reactions involves absorption of heat from the surroundings or the environment while exothermic reactions involves loss of heat energy to the surroundings.

in this case, sublimation, evaporation and melting are endothermic reactions (gain energy from the environment) while, freezing, deposition and condensation are exothermic (loss of energy to the surroundings) reactions.
