At what speed, as a fraction of c , is a particle's total energy twice its rest energy
WINSTONCH [101]
The rest energy of a particle is
E_0=m_0 c^2
where m_0 is the rest mass of the particle and c is the speed of light.

The total energy of a relativistic particle is
E=mc^2 =  \frac{m_0 c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }
where v is the speed of the particle.

We want the total energy of the particle to be twice its rest energy, so that
E=2E_0
which means:
\frac{m_0c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2m_0 c^2
\frac{1}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2
From which we find the ratio between the speed of the particle v and the speed of light c:
\frac{v}{c}=  \sqrt{1- (\frac{1}{2})^2 }  =0.87
So, the particle should travel at 0.87c in order to have its total energy equal to twice its rest energy.

How long does it took for 1000-watt microwave oven to do 20000 joules of work
svp [43]

Answer:

20 seconds

Explanation:

The equation for Power is:

Power = \frac{Work}{time}

Which means...

Time=\frac{Work}{Power}

We can plug in the given values into the equation:

Time = \frac{20000\ J}{1000\ W}

Time=20 \ s

The liquid pressure varies with depth why​
Solnce55 [7]

Explanation:

Hey, there!

The liquid pressure varies with depth because liquid pressure is directly proportional to the depth of liquid from the free surface of the liquid. so, more the depth more the pressure and less the depth less the pressure.

A 1.00 kg object moving in the + x direction at 10.0 m/s collides with a 1.50 kg object traveling at 5.00 m/s in the - x directi
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The amount of kinetic energy lost during the collision is 60.75 J

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of the object moving in the +x direction, m₁ = 1.00 kg

The velocity of the object moving in the +x direction, v₁ = 10.0 m/s

The mass of the object moving in the -x direction, m₂ = 1.50 kg

The velocity of the object moving in the +x direction, v₂ = 5.00 m/s

The final velocity of the 1.00 kg mass after collision, v₃ = 4.00 m/s

The direction of motion of the 1.00 kg mass after collision = -x direction

The total initial kinetic energy of the system, K.E._{total \ initial} = 1/2·m₁·v₁² + 1/2·m₂·v₂²

∴ K.E._{total \ initial}  = 1/2×1.00×10² + 1/2×1.50×5² = 68.75 J

The final kinetic energy of the system, K.E._{final}  = 1/2·m₁·v₃²

K.E._{final} = 1/2×1.00×4² = 8 J

The amount of kinetic energy lost during the collision, \Delta K.E._{system} is given as follows;

\Delta K.E._{system} =  K.E._{final} -K.E._{total \ initial} = 8 J - 68.75 J = -60.75 J

The amount of kinetic energy lost during the collision = 60.75 J.
