Two electrons travel towards each other at 0.2 c parallel to the laboratory x-axis. What is the relative velocity of one electro
Leya [2.2K]

1) In the reference frame of one electron: 0.38c

To find the relative velocity of one electron with respect to the other, we must use the following formula:

u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}

where

u is the velocity of one electron

v is the velocity of the second electron

c is the speed of light

In this problem:

u = 0.2c

v = -0.2c (since the second electron is moving towards the first one, so in the opposite direction)

Substituting, we find:

u'=\frac{0.2c+0.2c}{1+\frac{(0.2c)(0.2c)}{c^2}}=\frac{0.4c}{1+0.04}=0.38c

2) In the reference frame of the laboratory: -0.2c and +0.2c

In this case, there is no calculation to be done. In fact, we are already given the speed of the two electrons; we are also told that they travel in opposite direction, so their velocities are

+0.2c

-0.2c

What is the most widely accepted model used to predict the future of the universe?
lukranit [14]

Answer A an Open Universe

The future of universe is predicted from space time curve. There are many possibilities solutions or outcomes which on plotting are classified as open, close, flat and curved. Open Universe is when universe is expanding and it will continue to expand forever. This is proved experimentally as well that universe is expanding using red and blue shift observations from various aspects.
