1) In the reference frame of one electron: 0.38c
To find the relative velocity of one electron with respect to the other, we must use the following formula:
where
u is the velocity of one electron
v is the velocity of the second electron
c is the speed of light
In this problem:
u = 0.2c
v = -0.2c (since the second electron is moving towards the first one, so in the opposite direction)
Substituting, we find:
2) In the reference frame of the laboratory: -0.2c and +0.2c
In this case, there is no calculation to be done. In fact, we are already given the speed of the two electrons; we are also told that they travel in opposite direction, so their velocities are
+0.2c
-0.2c
Answer:
a = 52s²
Explanation:
<u>How to find acceleration</u>
Acceleration (a) is the change in velocity (Δv) over the change in time (Δt), represented by the equation a = Δv/Δt. This allows you to measure how fast velocity changes in meters per second squared (m/s^2). Acceleration is also a vector quantity, so it includes both magnitude and direction.
<u>Solve</u>
We know initial velocity (u = 16), velocity (v = 120) and acceleration (a = ?)
We first need to solve the velocity equation for time (t):
v = u + at
v - u = at
(v - u)/a = t
Plugging in the known values we get,
t = (v - u)/a
t = (16 m/s - 120 m/s) -2/s2
t = -104 m/s / -2 m/s2
t = 52 s
Answer:
90degrees I'm pretty sure
Answer:
5.71428571422 m/s
Explanation:
u = Initial velocity = 20 m/s
v = Final velocity
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration
Time taken = 15-1 = 14 s
Distance traveled in 1 second = 
The speed as she reaches the light at the instant it turns green is 5.71428571422 m/s
