Answer:
<em>0.85c </em>
Explanation:
Rest mass of Kaon = 494 MeV/c²
Rest mass of proton = 938 MeV/c²
The rest energy is gotten by multiplying the rest mass by the square of the speed of light c²
for the kaon, rest energy = 494c² MeV
for the proton, rest energy = 938c² MeV
Recall that the rest energy, and the total energy are related by..
= γ
which can be written in this case as
= γ
...... equ 1
where = total energy of the kaon, and
= rest energy of the kaon
γ = relativistic factor =
where
But, it is stated that the total energy of the kaon is equal to the rest mass of the proton or its equivalent rest energy, therefore...
=
......equ 2
where is the total energy of the kaon, and
is the rest energy of the proton.
From =
= 938c²
equ 1 becomes
938c² = γ494c²
γ = 938c²/494c² = 1.89
γ = = 1.89
1.89 = 1
squaring both sides, we get
3.57( 1 - ) = 1
3.57 - 3.57 = 1
2.57 = 3.57
= 2.57/3.57 = 0.72
= 0.85
but,
v/c = 0.85
v = <em>0.85c </em>
Answer:
Fnet = 0
Explanation:
- Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.
- According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.
- This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:
- In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:
⇒ 169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N (3)
- This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:
- Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47 N (4)
