The momentum of an electron is 1.75 times larger than the value computed non-relativistically. What is the speed of the electron

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Speed of the electron is 2.46 x 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

momentum of the electron before relativistic effect = $M_{0} V$

where $M_{0}$ is the rest mass of the electron

V is the velocity of the electron.

under relativistic effect, the mass increases.

under relativistic effect, the new mass M will be

M = $M_{0}/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$

where

$\beta = V/c$

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

V is the speed with which the electron travels.

The new momentum will therefore be

==> $M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$

It is stated that the relativistic momentum is 1.75 times the non-relativistic momentum. Equating, we have

1.75 $M_{0} V$ = $M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$

the equation reduces to

1.75 = $1/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$

square both sides of the equation, we have

3.0625 = 1/ $(1 - \beta ^{2} )$

3.0625 - 3.0625 $\beta ^{2}$ = 1

2.0625 = 3.0625 $\beta ^{2}$

$\beta ^{2}$ = 0.67

β = 0.819

substitute for $\beta = V/c$

V/c = 0.819

V = c x 0.819

V = 3 x 10^8 x 0.819 = 2.46 x 10^8 m/s

Rewrite Newton's first law of motion in your own words.

BlackZzzverrR [31]

Newton's first law is called inertia, or the force an object has to resist unbalanced forces that are placed upon it. The more mass an object has, the more inertia an object has. The less mass an object has, the less inertia an object has.

A 4g bullet, travelling at 589m/s embeds itself in a 2.3kg block of wood that is initially at rest, and together they travel at

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before is 0.174 %

Explanation:

Given;

mass of bullet, m₁ = 4g = 0.004kg

initial velocity of bullet, u₁ = 589 m/s

mass of block of wood, m₂ = 2.3 kg

initial velocity of the block of wood, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the system after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁+m₂)

0.004(589) + 2.3(0) = v(0.004 + 2.3)

2.356 = 2.304v

v = 2.356 / 2.304

v = 1.0226 m/s

Initial kinetic energy of the system

K.E₁ = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²

K.E₁ = ¹/₂(0.004)(589)² = 693.842 J

Final kinetic energy of the system

K.E₂ = ¹/₂v²(m₁ + m₂)

K.E₂ = ¹/₂ x 1.0226² x (0.004 + 2.3)

K.E₂ = 1.209 J

The kinetic energy left in the system = final kinetic energy of the system

The percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before = (K.E₂ / K.E₁) x 100%

= (1.209 / 693.842) x 100%

= 0.174 %

Therefore, the percentage of the kinetic energy that is left in the system after collision to that before is 0.174 %
