Answer:
The speed of the electron is 
.
Explanation:
Given that,
The magnitude of electric field, 
The magnitude of magnetic field, B = 0.516 T
Both the magnetic and electric fields are acting on the moving electron. Then, the magnitude of electric field and magnetic field is balanced such that :
or
So, the speed of the electron is . Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
A police radar gun uses X-band microwave radiation at a frequency of 13.1 GHz. Microwaves travel at the speed of light, or 3x108 m/s. Since the frequency shift will be small for practical car speeds and difficult to detect, the shifted frequency is compared to the original frequency, and the resulting beat frequency is used to determine the speed of the car.
a.) If Michael is traveling at 29 m/s, what is the resulting beat frequency that the radar gun detects?
ANSWER: 2533 Hz
Explanation:
wavelength = speed/frequency
==> freq. = speed/wavelength = 342.5/0.75 = 456.67 Hz.
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
