Describe a situation in which an object's speed is constant but its velocity is changing.

Physics
1 answer:
Olegator [25]3 years ago
5 0
1) If the object changes directions with the same speed, it will be changing its velocity, because velocity is a vector, which depends on both magnitude and direction. Speed is just magnitude regardless of direction.

2) Rotational motion.

At what speed, as a fraction of c , is a particle's total energy twice its rest energy
WINSTONCH [101]
The rest energy of a particle is
E_0=m_0 c^2
where m_0 is the rest mass of the particle and c is the speed of light.

The total energy of a relativistic particle is
E=mc^2 =  \frac{m_0 c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }
where v is the speed of the particle.

We want the total energy of the particle to be twice its rest energy, so that
E=2E_0
which means:
\frac{m_0c^2}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2m_0 c^2
\frac{1}{ \sqrt{1- \frac{v^2}{c^2} } }=2
From which we find the ratio between the speed of the particle v and the speed of light c:
\frac{v}{c}=  \sqrt{1- (\frac{1}{2})^2 }  =0.87
So, the particle should travel at 0.87c in order to have its total energy equal to twice its rest energy.

Which of the following is the smallest in mass?
vodka [1.7K]

The correct choice is

D. electron

mass of proton is 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg and has positive charge on it.

mass of neutron is slightly greater than the mass of proton. the mass of neutron is 1.675 x 10⁻²⁷ kg and has no charge on it.

mass of electron is 9.31 x 10⁻³¹ kg

comparing the masses of electron, proton, neutron and the nucleus, we see that the mass of electron is smallest.

Ou drag your feet on a carpeted floor on a dry day and the carpet acquires a net positive charge. a. Will you have an electron d
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

1) We will have excess of electrons

2) The number of electrons transferred equals 1.343\times 10^{10}

Explanation:

Part a)

Since we know that the charge transfer occurs by the transfer of electrons only as it is given that the carpet has acquired a positive charge it means that it has lost some of the electron's since electrons are negatively charged and if a neutral body looses negative charge it will become positively charged. The electron's that are lost by the carpet will be acquired by the feet of the human thus making us negatively charged.Hence we will gain electrons making us excess in electrons.

Part b)

From charge quantinization principle we have

Q=ne

where

Q = charge of body

n = no of electrons

e = fundamental charge

Applying values in the above equation we get

2.15\times 10^{-9}C=n\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C\\\\\therefore n=\frac{2.15\times 10^{-9}C}{1.6\times 10^{-19}C}=1.343\times 10^{10}

Some instruments differentiate individual quanta of electromagnetic radiation based on their energies. assume such an instrument
lesya [120]
There is a relationship between the energy of a photon and its wavelength. This can be expressed as a mathematical equation shown below:

E = hc/λ
where
h is the Planck's constant equal to 6.62607004 × 10⁻³⁴ m²<span> kg / s
c is the speed of light equal to 3</span>× 10⁸ m/s
λ is the wavelength

3.5×10⁻¹⁶ J = (6.62607004 × 10⁻³⁴ m² kg / s)(3× 10⁸ m/s)/λ
Solving for λ,
λ = 56.8×10⁻⁹ m or<em> 56.8 nm</em>
