Regardless of the source's mobility, light travels at the same speed.

<h3>What makes special relativity so crucial?</h3>

In the calculating and interpretation of high-velocity phenomena, as well as on our methods of thinking, Einstein's special relativity has had a significant influence on the area of physics. Today, we have a considerably better knowledge of space and time than we did at the start of the century.

<h3>Why is special relativity thus named?</h3>

Because it exclusively uses inertial frames to apply the concept of relativity, the theory is known as "special". General relativity, which Einstein created, applies the principle broadly, that is, to any frame, and this theory takes the gravitational forces into account.

A mass spectrometer was used in the discovery of the electron. In the velocity selector, the electric and magnetic fields are se

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Radius of dee, r = 8 mm = 0.008 m

Electric field, e = 400 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 4.7 x 10^-4 T

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

(a) Let v is the speed of electrons.

$v = \frac{Bqr}{m}$

$v = \frac{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.008}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}$

v = 661098.9 = 661099 m/s

(b)

$\frac{e}{m}=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

e / m = 1.76 x 10^14 C / kg

K = 0.5 x mv²

K = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x 661099 x 661099

K = 1.99 x 10^-19 J

K = 1.24 eV

So, the potential difference is

V = 1.24 V

(d) if the acceleration voltage is doubled

V = 2 x 1.24 = 2.48 V

So, Kinetic energy

K = 2.48 eV

K = 2.48 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 3.968 x 10^-19 J

Let v is the speed

K = 0.5 x mv²

3.968 x 10^-19 = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x v²

v = 933856.5 m/s

Let the new radius is r.

$r=\frac{mv}{Bq}$

$r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 933856.5}{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

r = 0.0113 m = 1.13 cm

siniylev [52]

The valence electrons of metals are weakly attracted to the parent nuclei, so the electrons break free and float. The moving electrons form a electron negative blanket that binds the atomic positive nuclei together, forming a metallic bond.

So the answers are { Negative } and { Positive }.

What is the voltage of the electrochemical cell written as: Cu(s) | Cu2+(aq) || Mg2+(aq) | Mg(s)?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Feel free to ask more questions.
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is B.-2.71 V.
Mg2+(aq) + 2e- -> Mg(s) E=-2.37 V

Cu2+(aq) + 2e- -> Cu(s) E =+ 0.34 V

Since Cu is acting as the anode, the equation needs to be reversed.

Cu(s) -> Cu2+(aq) + 2e- E =- 0.34 V

Ecell= -2.37 V+ (- 0.34 V) = -2.71 V 

Hope my answer would be a great help for you.

Jenny and Alyssa are members of the cross-country team. On a training run, Jenny starts off and runs at a constant 3.8 m/s. Alys

guapka [62]

Answer:

285 seconds

Explanation:

Jenny speed is 3.8 m/s

Alyssa speed in 4.0 m/s

Alyssa starts after 15 seconds

Find the distance covered by Jenny, when Alyssa starts

Distance=Speed*time

Distance covered by Jenny in 15 seconds= 3.8×15=57m

Relative speed of the two members heading same direction will be;

4.0m/s-3.8m/s=0.2m/s

To find the time Alyssa catch up with Jenny you divide the distance to be covered by Alyssa by the relative speed of the two

Distance=57m, relative speed=0.2m/s t=57/0.2 =285 seconds

=4.75 minutes
