G a person of mass 100 kg is riding an elevator which was initially moving up with a velocity of 3 m/s. over a distance of 4 m t

he elevator slows down to 1 m/s. find the "apparent" mass of the person during that time (as the elevator slows down).

E=mc² where c is speed of the light
3 m/s more andmore less than speed of the light. So mass of the person still 100 kg

Answer:

T_2 = 0.592

Explanation:

Given

T_1 = 1.48s

See attachment for connection

Required

Determine the time constant in (b)

First, we calculate the total capacitance (C1) in (a):

The upper two connections are connected serially:

So, we have:

\frac{1}{C_{up}} = \frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{C}

Take LCM

\frac{1}{C_{up}} = \frac{1+1}{C}

\frac{1}{C_{up}}= \frac{2}{C}

Cross Multiply

C_{up} * 2 = C * 1

C_{up} * 2 = C

Make C_{up} the subject

C_{up} = \frac{1}{2}C

The bottom two are also connected serially.

In other words, the upper and the bottom have the same capacitance.

So, the total (C) is:

C_1 = 2 * C_{up}

C_1 = 2 * \frac{1}{2}C

C_1 = C

The total capacitance in (b) is calculated as:

First, we calculate the parallel capacitance (Cp) is:

C_p = C+C

C_p = 2C

So, the total capacitance (C2) is:

\frac{1}{C_2} = \frac{1}{C_p} + \frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{C}

\frac{1}{C_2} = \frac{1}{2C} + \frac{1}{C} + \frac{1}{C}

Take LCM

\frac{1}{C_2} = \frac{1 + 2 + 2}{2C}

\frac{1}{C_2} = \frac{5}{2C}

Inverse both sides

C_2 = \frac{2}{5}C

Both (a) and (b) have the same resistance.

So:

We have:

Time constant is directional proportional to capacitance:

So:

T\ \alpha\ C

Convert to equation

T\ =kC

Make k the subject

k = \frac{T}{C}

k = \frac{T_1}{C_1} = \frac{T_2}{C_2}

\frac{T_1}{C_1} = \frac{T_2}{C_2}

Make T2 the subject

T_2 = \frac{T_1 * C_2}{C_1}

Substitute values for T1, C1 and C2

T_2 = \frac{1.48 * \frac{2}{5}C}{C}

T_2 = \frac{1.48 * \frac{2}{5}}{1}

T_2 = \frac{0.592}{1}

T_2 = 0.592

Hence, the time constance of (b) is 0.592 s
