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

Suppose there is a uniform magnetic field, B, pointing into the page (so your index finger will point into the page). If the vel
Naily [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall show all given data in vector form and calculate the direction of force with the help of following formula

force F = q ( v x B )

q is charge , v is velocity and B is magnetic field.

Given B = - Bk ( i is  right  , j is  upwards  and k is straight up the page  )

v = v j

F = q ( vj x - Bk )

= -Bqvi

The direction is towards left .

a ) If velocity is down

v = - v j

F = q ( - vj x - bk )

= qvB i

Direction is right .

b ) v = v i

F = q ( vi x - Bk )

= qvB j

force is upwards

c ) v = - vi

F = q ( -vi x - Bk )

= -qvBj

force is downwards

d ) v = - v k

F = q( - vk x -Bk  )

= 0

No force will be created

e ) v =  v k

F = q(  vk x -Bk  )

= 0

No force will be created

A homing pigeon starts from rest and accelerates uniformly at +4.00 m/s squared for 10.0 seconds. What is its velocity after the
zavuch27 [327]
'  +4 m/s² ' means that the pigeon's speed is  4 m/s greater every second.

Starting from zero speed, after 10 seconds, its speed is 

                           (10 x 4m/s)  =  40 m/s.

We can't say anything about its velocity, because we have
no information regarding the direction of its flight.

A disk of radius 10 cm speeds up from rest. it turns 60 radians reaching an angular velocity of 15 rad/s. what was the angular a
stepan [7]

Answer:

a) α = 1.875 \frac{rad}{s^{2} }

b) t = 8 s

Explanation:

Given:

ω1 = 0 \frac{rad}{s}

ω2 = 15 \frac{rad}{s}

theta (angular displacement) = 60 rad

*side note: you can replace regular, linear variables in kinematic equations with angular variables (must entirely replace equations with angular variables)*

a) α = ?

(ω2)^2 = (ω1)^2 + 2α(theta)

15^{2} = 0^{2} + 2(α)(60)

225 = 120α

α = 1.875 \frac{rad}{s^{2} }

b)

α = (ω2-ω1)/t

t = (ω2-ω1)/α = (15-0)/1.875 = 8

t = 8 s
