Formula for the distance (d) is given by d = rate*time. For example if you are traveling at 60 mph for 3 hours the distance trav
1 answer:
Explanation:
Distance covered by the particle is given by:
Distance (d) = rate (v) × time (t)
Speed of Mary, v₁ = 50 mph
Speed of Jim, v₂ = 60 mph
It is assumed that, Mary and Jim leave at the same time. After one hour, Jim is 10 miles ahead.
Distance travelled by Jim, d₁ = (60t + 10)
Distance travelled by Mary, d₂ = 50t
The distance between Mary and Jim is greater than or equal to 100 miles.
So, Jim takes is 9 hours more than Mary to cover same distance. Hence, this is the required solution.

The relativistic formula for the momentum of a particle of mass m and moving at speed v is
where c is the speed of light.
In our problem, the speed in terms of c is
, and the mass (still written in terms of c) is 
. Substituting these values in the previous formula, we can find the value of the momentum of the proton:
where c is the speed of light.
