Answer:

0.66c

Explanation:

Use length contraction equation:

L = L₀ √(1 − (v²/c²))

where L is the contracted length,

L₀ is the length at 0 velocity,

v is the velocity,

and c is the speed of light.

900 = 1200 √(1 − (v²/c²))

3/4 = √(1 − (v²/c²))

9/16 = 1 − (v²/c²)

v²/c² = 7/16

v = ¼√7 c

v ≈ 0.66 c

Answer:

(P_1-P_2)=1913.31 N/m^2

Explanation:

given:

\frac{A_t}{A_1}=0.85

V_1=90 m/s

γ∞=1.23 kg/m^3

solution:

since outside pressure is atm pressure vaccum can be defined by (P_1-P_2)

V_1=√2(P_1-P_2)/γ∞[\frac{A_t}{A_1}^2-1]

(P_1-P_2)=1913.31 N/m^2
