Answer:
<em>Speed of the electron is 2.46 x 10^8 m/s</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
momentum of the electron before relativistic effect = 
where 
is the rest mass of the electron
V is the velocity of the electron.
under relativistic effect, the mass increases.
under relativistic effect, the new mass M will be
M = 
where
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s
V is the speed with which the electron travels.
The new momentum will therefore be
==> 
It is stated that the relativistic momentum is 1.75 times the non-relativistic momentum. Equating, we have
1.75 =
the equation reduces to
1.75 = 
square both sides of the equation, we have
3.0625 = 1/
3.0625 - 3.0625
= 1
2.0625 = 3.0625
= 0.67
β = 0.819
substitute for
V/c = 0.819
V = c x 0.819
V = 3 x 10^8 x 0.819 = <em>2.46 x 10^8 m/s</em>
Answer:
According to the travellers, Alpha Centauri is <em>c) very slightly less than 4 light-years</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
For a stationary observer, Alpha Centauri is 4 light-years away but for an observer who is travelling close to the speed of light, Alpha Centauri is <em>very slightly less than 4 light-years. </em>The following expression explains why:
v = d / t
where
- v is the speed of the spaceship
- d is the distance
- t is the time
Therefore,
d = v × t
d = (0.999 c)(4 light-years)
d = 3.996 light-years
This distance is<em> very slightly less than 4 light-years. </em>
The answer is Oscar Robertson and Jerry West !! hope this helps :p
Answer:
maybe its heat sorry if it's wrong
because if friction is not in the problem so we are making heat or thermal energy
