Compounds

Explanation:

Reactive elements such as alkali metals and halogens are found in nature only as compounds. Such elements are too unstable to remain as stable atoms, therefore they readily combine and form compounds.

Compounds are formed when two atoms combines together to share electrons.
They either lose, gain, or share electrons between themselves.
In the end, they end up becoming more stable.
This is the reason why atoms combine.
Unstable elements are very reactive especially alkali metals and halogens.
On their own, they are unstable and prefers to bond with other atoms in order to gain a measure of stability.
This is why they are found in combined state in nature.

A rocket travels in the x-direction at speed 0.70c with respect to the earth. An experimenter on the rocket observes a collision

marishachu [46]

Answer:

A) The space time coordinate x of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

$x \approx 103,46x10^{9}m$ .

B) The space time coordinate t of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

$t=377,29s$

Explanation:

We are told a rocket travels in the x-direction at speed v=0,70 c (c=299792458 m/s is the exact value of the speed of light) with respect to the Earth. A collision between two comets is observed from the rocket and it is determined that the space time coordinates of the collision are (x',t') = (3.4 x 10¹⁰ m, 190 s).

An event indicates something that occurs at a given location in space and time, in this case the event is the collision between the two comets. We know the space time coordinates of the collision seen from the reference frame of the rocket and we want to find out the space time coordinates in Earth's reference frame.

<em>Lorentz transformation</em>

The Lorentz transformation relates things between two reference frames when one of them is moving with constant velocity with respect to the other. In this case the two reference frames are the Earth and the rocket that is moving with speed v=0,70 c in the x axis.

The Lorentz transformation is

$x'=\frac{x-vt}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$y'=y$

$z'=z$

$t'=\frac{t-\frac{v}{c^{2}}x}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

prime coordinates are the ones from the rocket reference frame and unprimed variables are from the Earth's reference frame. Since we want position x and time t in the Earth's frame we need the inverse Lorentz transformation. This can be obtained by replacing v by -v and swapping primed an unprimed variables in the first set of equations

$x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$y=y'$

$z=z'$

$t=\frac{t'+\frac{v}{c^{2}}x'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

First we calculate the expression in the denominator

$\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}=\frac{(0,70)^{2}c^{2}}{c^{2}} =(0,70)^{2}$

$\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}} =0,714$

then we calculate t

$t=\frac{t'+\frac{v}{c^{2}}x'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c}{c^{2}}.3,4x10^{10}m}{0,714}$

$t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c .3,4x10^{10}m}{299792458\frac{m}{s}}}{0,714}$

$t=\frac{190s+79,388s}{0,714}$

finally we get that

$t=377,29s$

then we calculate x

$x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}$

$x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70c.190s}{0,714}}$

$x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70.299792458\frac{m}{s}.190s}{0,714}}$

$x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+39872396914m}{0,714}}$

$x=\frac{73872396914m}{0,714}}$

$x=103462740775,91m$

finally we get that

$x \approx 103,46x10^{9} m$

What does convection mean

Sladkaya [172]

Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat
