I am sitting in my seat.
I am listening to my mp3 and reading my book.
My eyes are getting heavy. They start to close.
I try to stay awake, but it's no use.
I am so warm and comfortable and sleepy,
and I have just finished my dinner.
Finally I can't help it. Resistance is futile.
I give up, and fall deep asleep.
My head rests back against my soft, comfy seat.

My seat is in row 26 on the airplane I'm flying in
to visit my grandmother on the coast.
We are cruising at 560 miles an hour, bearing 280°,
at flight level 320 .
The temperature outside my window is -60°F .

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.

Lorentz transformation

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

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

An interference pattern is produced by light with a wavelength 520 nm from a distant source incident on two identical parallel s

Goshia [24]

Answer:

1) θ = 0.00118 rad, 2) θ = 0.00236 rad , 3) I / I₀ = 0.1738, 4) I / Io = 0.216

Explanation:

In the double-slit interference phenomenon it is explained for constructive interference by the equation

d sin θ = m λ

1) the first order maximum occurs for m = 1

sin θ = λ / d

θ = sin⁻¹ λ / d

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

λ = 520 nm = 520 10⁻⁹ θ = 0.00118 radm

d = 0.440 mm = 0.440 10⁻³ m ³

let's calculate

θ = sin⁻¹ (520 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)

θ = sin⁻¹ (1.18 10⁻³)

θ = 0.00118 rad

2) the second order maximum occurs for m = 2

θ = sin⁻¹ (m λ / d)

θ = sin⁻¹ (2 5¹20 10⁻⁹ / 0.44 10⁻³)

θ = 0.00236 rad

3) To calculate the intensity of the interference spectrum, the diffraction phenomenon must be included, so the equation remains

I = I₀ cos² (π d sin θ /λ ) sinc² (pi b sin θ /λ )

where the function sinc = sin x / x

and b is the width of the slits

we caption the values

x = π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹)

x = 2.21

I / I₀ = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00118 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin (2.21) /2.21)²

remember angles are in radians

I / I₀ = cos² (3.0945) [0.363] 2

I / I₀ = 0.9978 0.1318

I / I₀ = 0.1738

4) the maximum second intensity is

I / I₀ = cos² (π d sinθ / λ) sinc² (πb sin θ /λ)

x =π 0.310 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹)

x = 4.41

I / Io = cos² (π 0.44 10⁻³ sin 0.00236 / 520 10⁻⁹) (sin 4.41 / 4.41)²

I / Io = cos² 6.273 0.216

I / Io = 0.216

A mass is oscillating up and down on a spring. In the above graph of

melomori [17]

Answer:

Amplitude= 8 m

Explanation:

The Amplitude of a Wave

Sinusoidal Function refers to a mathematical curve with a smooth and periodic oscillation. Its name comes from the sine function and is characterized by the amplitude or the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body measured from its equilibrium position.

To calculate the amplitude from a graph, we measure the maximum point and the minimum point the wave reaches. Then we subtract both values and divide the result by 2.

The shown wave in the figure has a maximum value of 8 m and a minimum value of -8 m. The distance from the maximum to the minimum is 8-(-8)= 16 m, thus the amplitude is 16/2= 8m.

Amplitude= 8 m
