A light flashes at position x=0m. One microsecond later, a light flashes at position x=1000m. In a second reference frame, movin

g along the x-axis at speed v, the two flashes are simultaneous. Is this second frame moving to the right or to the left relative to the original frame?

Answer:

To the right relative to the original frame.

Explanation:

In first reference frame <em>S</em>,

Spatial interval of the event, \rm \Delta x=1000\ m-0\ m=1000\ m.

Temporal interval of the event, \rm \Delta t = 1\ \mu s=10^{-6}\ s.

In the second reference frame <em>S'</em>, the two flashes are simultaneous, which means that the temporal interval of the event in this frame is \rm \Delta t'=0\ s.

The speed of the frame <em>S' </em>with respect to frame <em>S</em> = v.

According to the Lorentz transformation,

\rm \Delta t'=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}\left( \Delta t-\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}\right ).\\\\Since,\ \Delta t'=0,\\\therefore \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}\left( \Delta t-\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}\right )=0\\\Rightarrow \Delta t-\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}=0\\\dfrac{v\Delta x}{c^2}=\Delta t\\v=\dfrac{c^2\Delta t}{\Delta x }.\\\\Also, \ \Delta t,\ \Delta x>0\ \Rightarrow v>0.

And positive v means the velocity of the second frame<em> </em><em>S'</em> is along the positive x-axis direction, i.e., to the right direction relative to the original frame <em>S</em>.

Kate, a bungee jumper, wants to jump off the edge of a bridge that spans a river below. Kate has a mass m, and the surface of th
MArishka [77]

Answer:

1)   d = h- L - mg / k , 2)        k = 2 mg/h    (-1 +2 L / h)

Explanation:

1) Let's use the translational equilibrium equation

       F_{e} -W = 0

       F_{e} = W

       k x = mg

       x = mg / k

         

from the statement of the exercise the height of the bridge, for the reference system in the river, is

        h = L + x + d

        x = h - L - d

we substitute

        h - L -d = mg / k

        d = h- L - mg / k

2) They ask us for the spring constant. For this part we can use energy conservation

Starting point. At the point before jumping

        Em₀ = U = m g h

Final Point. When it's hanging

        Em_f =   K_{e} + U = ½ k x² + mg d

        Em₀ = Em_f

         mg h = 1 / k x² + m g d

in the exercise they indicate that Kate touches the surface of the river, so the distance d = 0

         mg h = ½ k x²

         k = 2 mg h / x²

       

we substitute the value of x

        k = 2mg  h / (h -L)²

        k = 2mg  h / (- L + h)²

we simplify the expression

       k = 2mg  h / [h² (1- L / h)²]

       k = 2m /h      (1- L / h)⁻²

In these jumps the bridge height is always greater than the length of the rope L / h <1, so we can expand the last expression

          (1- L / h)⁻² = 1 - 2 (1 -L / h) + 2 3/2!   (1 -L / h)² + ...

for simplicity let's keep up to the linear term, we substitute in the solution

       k = 2 mg/h    [1 - 2 (1- L / h)]

       k = 2 mg/h    (-1 +2 L / h)

A 2.00 kg object is attached to a spring and placed on frictionless, horizontal surface. Ahorizontal force of 18.0 N is required
velikii [3]

Answer:

6 rad/s

Explanation:

In a spring the angular frequency is calculated as follows:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }

where \omega is the angular frequency, m is the mass of the object in this case m=2kg, and k is the constant of the spring.

To calculate the angular frequency, first we need to find the constant k which is calculated as follows:

k=\frac{F}{x}

Where F is the force: F=18N, and x is the distance from the equilibrium position: x=0.25m.

Thus the spring constant:

k=\frac{18N}{0.25m}

k=72N/m

And now we do have everything necessary to calculate the angular frequency:

\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }=\sqrt{\frac{72N/m}{2kg} }=\sqrt{36}

\omega=6rad/s

the angular frequency of the oscillation is 6 rad/s

If the masses of objects increase and their distance from each other remains the same, then the force of gravity between the two
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

the formula for the force of gravity depends  inversely of the distance and directly of the masses.

F_{G} =G\frac{M_{1} M_{2}}{R^{2}}

This means that if the masses increase and their distance remains the same the force will increase proportionally.

3. Liquid nitrogen at 90 K, 400 kPa flows into a probe used in a cryogenic survey. In the return line the nitrogen is then at 16
devlian [24]

Answer:

Specific heat transfer = 236.16 kJ/kg

Ratio of return velocity to inlet velocity = 0.80

Explanation:

Given

Temperature of liquid nitrogen, T1 = 90 K

Pressure of liquid nitrogen, P1 = 400 kPa

Temperature of nitrogen, T2 = 160 K

Pressure of nitrogen, T2 = 400 kPa

A(e) = 100 A(i)

To solve, we use the formula

h(i)+ 1/2v(i)² + q = h(e) + 1/2v(e)² + q

The mass flow is

m = m(i) = m(e)

m = (Av/V)i = (Av/V)e

Ratio of return velocity to inlet velocity is

v(e) / v(i) = A(i)/A(e) * V(e)/V(i)

v(e) / v(i) = 1/100 * V(e)/V(i)

From the saturated Nitrogen table, at 100 K, we have

h(i) = h(f) = -73.2

v(i) = v(f) = 0.001452

From the saturated Nitrogen table again, at 160 K and 400 kPa

h(e) = 162.96 kJ/kg

v(e) = 0.11647 m³/kg

Substituting these in the formula, we have

v(e) / v(i) = 1/100 * 0.11647/0.001452

v(e) / v(i) = 1/100 * 80.2

v(e) / v(i) = 0.80

Energy equation is given by

q + h(i) = h(e)

q = h(e) - h(i)

Now, calculating specific heat transfer

q = 162.96 - -73.2

q = 236.16 kJ/kg
