Time dilation: A missile moves with speed 6.5-10 m/s with respect to an observer on the ground. How long will it take the missil

Answer:

The time taken by missile's clock is 4.6\times 10^{6} s

Solution:

As per the question:

Speed of the missile, v_{m = 6.5\times 10^{3}} m/s

Now,

If 'T' be the time of the frame at rest then the dilated time as per the question is given as:

T' = T + 1

Now, using the time dilation eqn:

T' = \frac{T}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}

\frac{T'}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}

\frac{T + 1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}

1 + \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2}}}

1 + \frac{1}{T} = (1 + (\frac{v_{m}}{c})^{2})^{- \frac{1}{2}}         (1)

Using binomial theorem in the above eqn:

We know that:

(1 + x)^{a} = 1 + ax

Thus eqn (1) becomes:

1 + \frac{1}{T} = 1 - \frac{- 1}{2}.\frac{v_{m}^{2}}{c^{2}}

T = \frac{2c^{2}}{v_{m}^{2}}

Now, putting appropriate values in the above eqn:

T = \frac{2(3\times 10^{8})^{2}}{(6.5\times 10^{3})^{2}}

T = 4.6\times 10^{6} s

A roller coaster has a vertical loop with radius 25.7 m. With what minimum speed should the roller-coaster car be moving at the
gogolik [260]

Answer:

15.88m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the roller coaster you will have three forces acting on the roller-coaster. See the image below. Fc is the centripetal force (for an object in circular motion), Fg is the gravitational force, and Fn is the normal force. To achieve the minimum speed we assume the roller-coaster is barely touching the vertical loop and so the normal force is zero. This leaves two acting forces.

F_g = F_c\\mg = \frac{m\times v^2}{r}\\v = \sqrt{gr} = \sqrt{9.81 \times 25.7}  = 15.88 m/s
