Answer:

a)

5.97\times 10^{7} ms⁻¹

b)

0.0021  sec

Explanation:

(a)

L_{o} = Actual length of the vehicle = 50 m

L = length measured by the earthbound observer = 49 m

v = speed of the vehicle

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ ms⁻¹

Length measured by the earthbound observer is given as

L = L_{o}\sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{v}{c} \right )^{2}}

49 = 50 \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{v}{3\times 10^{8}} \right )^{2}}

0.98 = \sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{v}{3\times 10^{8}} \right )^{2}}

0.9604 = 1 - \left ( \frac{v}{3\times 10^{8}} \right )^{2}

0.396 = \left ( \frac{v}{3\times 10^{8}} \right )^{2}

v = 5.97\times 10^{7} ms⁻¹

b)

d = distance traveled = 6000 km = 6 x 10⁶ m

t = time measured by a clock on the vehicle

t' = time measured by a clock on the earth

Time measured by a clock on the vehicle  is given as

t = \frac{d}{v}

t = \frac{6\times 10^{6}}{5.97\times 10^{7}}

t = 0.1006 sec

Time measured by a clock on the earth is given as

t = t'\sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{v}{c} \right )^{2}}

0.1006 = t'\sqrt{1 - \left ( \frac{5.97\times 10^{7}}{3\times 10^{8}} \right )^{2}}

t' = 0.1027 sec

\Delta t = time difference

Time difference is given as

\Delta t = t' - t

\Delta t = 0.1027 - 0.1006

\Delta t = 0.0021

\Delta t = 0.0021  sec

What is the momentum of an object in splace
forsale [732]

Answer:

The total momentum of the universe is always the same and is equal to zero. The total momentum of an isolated system never changes. Momentum can be transferred from one body to another.

Momentum quantifies how likely an object is to stay in motion. Momentum can also be explained using the equation, p=mv, where p is equal to momentum, m is equal to mass, and v is equal to velocity.

A satellite at a particular point along an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 5100 MJ with respect to Eart
serious [3.7K]

To solve this problem we will apply the theorem given in the conservation of energy, by which we have that it is conserved and that in terms of potential and kinetic energy, in their initial moment they must be equal to the final potential and kinetic energy. This is,

E_{initial} = E_{final}

PE_{initial}+KE_{initial} = PE_{final}+KE_{final}

Replacing the 5100MJ for satellite as initial potential energy, 4200MJ for initial kinetic energy and 5700MJ for final potential energy we have that

KE_{final} = (PE_{initial}+KE_{initial} )-PE_{final}

KE_{final} = (5100+4200)-5700

KE_{final} = 3600MJ

Therefore the final kinetic energy is 3600MJ
