Arturiano [62]

The kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.

To find the answer, we have to know about the Lorentz transformation.

<h3>What is its kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame?</h3>

It is given that, an alien spaceship traveling at 0.600 c toward the Earth, in the same direction the landing craft travels with a speed of 0.800 c relative to the mother ship. We have to find the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame, if the landing craft has a mass of 4.00 × 10⁵ kg.

$V_x'=0.8c\\V=0.6c\\m=4*10^5kg$

Let us consider the earth as S frame and space craft as S' frame, then the expression for KE will be,

$KE=m_0c^2=\frac{mc^2}{1-(\frac{v_x^2}{c^2} )}$

So, to $V_x=(0.8+0.6)c-[\frac{0.6c*(0.8c)^2}{c^2}]=1.016$ find the KE, we have to find the value of speed of the approaching landing craft with respect to the earth frame.
We have an expression from Lorents transformation for relativistic law of addition of velocities as,

$V_x'=\frac{V_x-V}{1-\frac{VV_x}{c^2} } \\thus,\\V_x=V_x'(1-\frac{VV_x}{c^2} )+V$

Substituting values, we get,

$V_x=0.8c(1-\frac{0.8c*0.6c}{c^2} )+0.6c=(0.8c*0.52)+0.6c=1.016c$

Thus, the KE will be,

$KE=\frac{4*10^5*(3*10^8)^2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(1.016c)^2}{c^2} } } =\frac{1.2*10^{22}}{0.179}=6.704*10^{22}J$

Thus, we can conclude that, the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.

In comparison with a steep slope, a gentle slope _____.

kifflom [539]

A gentle slope requires less force over a longer distance as compared to steep slope.

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage of a slope is equal to the ratio of length of slope and the height. A steep slope has shorter length as compared to a gentle slope for the same height. Therefore, mechanical advantage of a gentle slope is more than that of a steep slope. Hence, a gentle slope requires less force over a long distance than a steep slope.
