B Yea that should be the right answer
Answer:
Explanation:
By conservation of the linear momentum:
m1*V1 = (m1+m2)*V2
Solving for V2:
The kinetic energies are:
Simplifying:
The ratio will be:
Answer:
4.78 x 10^-17 m
Explanation:
E = 26 GeV
First convert GeV into J
1 GeV = 1.6 x 10^-10 J
E = 26 x 1.6 x 10^-10 = 41.6 x 10^-10 J
Use the formula for energy
E = h c / λ
Where, h is the Plank's constant and λ be the wavelength and c be the velocity of light.
λ = h c / E
λ = ( 6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (41.6 x 10^-10)
λ = 4.78 x 10^-17 m
The work required to stop the car is equal to the amount of kinetic energy that the car currently has. This is given by E=(1/2)mv^2. Since the energy is proportional to the square of the velocity, that factor will have the greatest influence on the work required to stop it.
