Answer:

  • a. \Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2
  • b. \Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2
  • c. \Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2

Explanation:

The spacetime interval \Delta s^2 is given by

\Delta s ^2 = \Delta (c t) ^ 2 - \Delta \vec{x}^2

please, be aware this is the definition for the signature ( + - - - ), for the signature (- + + + ) the spacetime interval is given by:

\Delta s ^2 = - \Delta (c t) ^ 2 + \Delta \vec{x}^2.

Lets work with the signature ( + - - - ), and, if needed in the other signature, we can multiply our interval by -1.

<h3>a.</h3>

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (7.5 \ 10 \ m)^2

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 5,625 m^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 3 \ s)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (899,377,374 \ m)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2

so

\Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2 - 5,625 m^2

\Delta s ^2 = 8.0888 \ 10^{17} m^2

<h3>b.</h3>

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (5 \ 10 \ m)^2

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 2,500 m^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 0.58 \ s)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (173,879,625.6 \ m)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2

so

\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2 - 2,500 m^2

\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{16} m^2

<h3>c.</h3>

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = (5 \ 10 \ m)^2

\Delta \vec{x}^2 = 2,500 m^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (299,792,458 \frac{m}{s} \ 58 \ s)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = (1.73879 \ 10^{10} \ m)^2

\Delta (c t) ^ 2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2

so

\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2 - 2,500 m^2

\Delta s ^2 = 3.0234 \ 10^{20} m^2

Un movil de masa 12Kg sobre el cual estan actuando varias fuerzas F_1=48N, F_2=60N y F_3=30N Calcular la aceleracion con la cual
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Lamentablemente el problema está incompleto, pues no sabemos la dirección en la que se aplican las fuerzas. Por ello, voy a resolver el problema asumiendo dos casos. (abajo se puede ver una imagen donde se describe cada caso)

1) Todas las fuerzas están en la misma dirección.

Entonces la fuerza neta será la suma de las 3 fuerzas, entonces:

F = 48N + 60N + 30N = 138N

Y por la segunda ley de Newton sabemos que:

F = m*a

fuerza igual a masa por aceleración.

Entonces la aceleración está dada por:

a = F/m = 138N/12kg = 11.5 m/s^2

2) Segundo caso, suponemos que F1 es opuesta a F2 y F3

En este caso, la fuerza neta será:

F = F2 + F3 - F1 = 60N + 30N - 48N = 42N

En este caso, la aceleración será:

a = 42N/12kg = 3.5 m/s^2

Two insulated wires, each 2.64 m long, are taped together to form a two-wire unit that is 2.64 m long. One wire carries a curren
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

4.77\ \text{A}

Explanation:

F = Magnetic force = 4.11 N

I_n = Net current

I_2 = Current in one of the wires = 7.68 A

B = Magnetic field = 0.59 T

\theta = Angle between current and magnetic field = 65^{\circ}

l = Length of wires = 2.64 m

I = Current in the other wire

Magnetic force is given by

F=I_nlB\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow I_n=\dfrac{F}{lB\sin\theta}\\\Rightarrow I_n=\dfrac{4.11}{2.64\times 0.59 \sin65^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow I_n=2.91\ \text{A}

Net current is given by

I_n=I_2-I\\\Rightarrow I=I_2-I_n\\\Rightarrow I=7.68-2.91\\\Rightarrow I=4.77\ \text{A}

The current I is 4.77\ \text{A}.
