Speed of light relative to the boys = 300,000,000 m/s

Speed of light relative to a stationary observer on the side of the road =

<h3>300,000,000 m/s</h3><h3>What is special theory of relativity?</h3>
  • The theory of special relativity explains how speed affects space, time, and mass.
  • Small amounts of mass (m) can be interchangeable with large amounts of energy (E), as defined by the classic equation E = mc2, according to the theory, which offers a means for the speed of light to define the link between energy and matter.

<h3>What are the special relativity's guiding principles?</h3>
  • The laws of physics should be independent of the uniform motion of an inertial frame of reference, and the speed of light should be constant in any such frame, according to two fundamental tenets that constitute the basis of the special theory of relativity.

The dial of a scale looks like this: 00.0kg. A physicist placed a spring on it. The dial read 00.6kg. He then placed a metal cha
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

d. The scale's resolution is too low to read the change in mass

Explanation:

If we want to find the change in energy of the spring, we will have to use the Hooke's Law. Hooke's Law states that:

F = kx

since,

w = Fd

dw = Fdx

integrating and using value of F, we get:

ΔE = (0.5)kx²

where,

ΔE = Energy added to spring

k = spring constant

x = displacement

The spring constant is typically in range of 4900 to 29400 N/m.

So if we take the extreme case of 29400 N/m and lets say we assume an unusually, extreme case of 1 m compression, we get the value of energy added to be:

ΔE = (0.5)(29400 N/m)(1 m)²

ΔE = 1.47 x 10⁴ J

Now, if we convert this energy to mass from Einstein's equation, we get:

ΔE = Δmc²

Δm = ΔE/c²

Δm = (1.47 x 10⁴ J)/(3 x 10⁸ m/s)²

<u>Δm =  4.9 x 10⁻¹³ kg</u>

As, you can see from the answer that even for the most extreme cases the value of mass associated with the additional energy is of very low magnitude.

Since, the scale only gives the mass value upto 1 decimal place.

Thus, it can not determine such a small change. So, the correct option is:

<u>d. The scale's resolution is too low to read the change in mass</u>

An empty 2,500 kg train car is headed northbound at a velocity of 5 m/s. Ahead of the first car, an empty 1,500 kg car is headed
Tema [17]

Let the mass of 2500 kg car be m_1 and it's velocity be v_1 and the mass of 1500 kg car be m_2 and it's velocity be v_2 .

After the bumping the mass be M and it's velocity be V.

     By law of conservation of momentum we have

                   m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = MV

                    2500 * 5 + 1500 * 1=4000 * V

                    V = 14000/4000 = 7/2 = 3.5 m/s

So the velocity of the two-car train = 3.5 m/s

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

1.635×10^-3m

Explanation:

Young modulus is the ratio of the tensile stress of a material to its tensile strain.

Young modulus = Tensile stress/tensile strain

Tensile stress = Force/Area

Given force = 130N

Area = Πr² = Π×(1.55×10^-3)²

Area = 4.87×10^-6m²

Tensile stress = 130/4.87×10^-6 = 8.39×10^7N/m²

Tensile strain = extension/original length

Tensile strain = e/3.9

Substituting in the young modulus formula given young modulus to be 2×10¹¹N/m²

2×10¹¹N/m² = 8.39×10^7/{e/3.9)}

2×10¹¹ = (8.39×10^7×3.9)/e

2×10¹¹e = 3.27×10^8

e = 3.27×10^8/2×10¹¹

e = 1.635×10^-3m

The stretch of the steel wire will be

1.635×10^-3m
