Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

initial speed = v

initial momentum = p

final speed = 2v

final momentum = p'

The formula for relativistic momentum is given by

p = \frac{mv}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}     .... (1)

The new momentum is given by

p' = \frac{m\times 2v}{\sqrt{1-\frac{4v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}     .... (2)

By comparison, p' < 2p.

Thus, the option is (b) .

An airplane moves through the air at a constant speed. The engines’ thrust applies a force in the direction of motion, and this
lord [1]

Explanation:

This is because the drag force suffered by the aircraft is proportional to the speed at which it travels. The thrust of the engines prints a speed to the plane and this speed prints a drag force, always reaching an equilibrium point of these two forces where the speed of the plane is constant and the acceleration is equal to zero.

Therefore, by reducing the thrust, the drag force is greater and the plane begins to decrease its speed, until it reaches the point where the new drag force is matched with the new thrust force, giving it a new final speed , without acceleration.

Explain the law of conservation of energy. Give a specific example using kinetic and potential energy that shows how energy is c
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

As you said you already know, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

Explanation:

You cannot gain energy or lose energy, it can only be converted. So if you start on a 3m high hill and go down it, your potential energy is equal to mgh, and if you get to the bottom of the hill, your KE would be equal to your PE at the top, and when you start going up another hill again, the maximum height you can reach is 3m, because energy cannot be created or destroyed, and your mass and gravitational acceleration are the same, so therefore you can only reach the same height you started from due to the conservation of energy.
