In an "atom smasher," two particles collide head on at relativistic speeds. If the velocity of the first particle is 0.741c to t

he left, and the velocity of the second particle is 0.543c to the right (both as measured in the lab rest frame), how fast are the particles moving with respect to each other?

Answer:

W_x = 0.9156\ c

Explanation:

given,

velocity of particle 1 = 0.741 c to left

velocity of second particle = 0.543 c to right

relative velocity between the particle = ?

for the relative velocity calculation we have formula

W_x = \dfrac{|u_x - v_x|}{1-\dfrac{u_xv_x}{c^2}}

u_x = 0.543 c

v_x = - 0.741 c

W_x = \dfrac{0.543 c - (-0.741 c)}{1-\dfrac{(0.543 c)(-0.741 c)}{c^2}}

W_x = \dfrac{0.543 c +0.741 c)}{1+\dfrac{(0.543)(0.741)c^2}{c^2}}

W_x = \dfrac{1.284c}{1+0.402363}

W_x = 0.9156\ c

Relative velocity of the particle is W_x = 0.9156\ c

In which situation will the lowest resistance occur?
MrMuchimi

C. Thick wire and cold temperature.

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by:  R = (ρL)/A

where ρ is the resistivity of the material, L is the length of the wire, A is the cross-sectional area of the wire.

From the formula, we see that the thicker the wire, the larger A, therefore the smaller the resistivity. so, a thick wire will have lower resistivity.

Moreover, the resistance of a wire increases with the temperature. In fact, high temperatures mean more motion of the atoms/electrons inside the wire, so more resistance to the flow of current through it. Therefore, colder temperature means lower resistance.

So, the correct option is thick wire and cold temperature.

The magnetic field of a long, straight, and closely-wound solenoid, inside the solenoid at a point near the center, is 0.645 T.
Savatey [412]

Answer:

B'=1.935 T      

Explanation:

Given that

magnetic field ,B= 0.645 T

We know that magnetic filed in the solenoid is given as

B=\mu _0 n\ I

I=Current

n=Number of turn per unit length

μ0 =magnetic permeability

Now when the current increased by 3 factors

I'=3 I

Then the magnetic filed

B'=\mu _0 n\ I'

B'=\mu _0 n\ (3I)

B'=3 B

That is why

B' = 3 x 0.645 T

B'=1.935 T

Therefore the new magnetic filed will be 1.935 T.

During science class, while studying mixtures, you mix together iron filings and sand. Your teacher challenges you to separate t
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer : Use a magnet to pull out the iron filings as they are attracted to a magnet

Explanation :  we use the magnet to separate the sand from the iron filing. Because the magnet has an attraction power.

We can say that we can use the magnet to attract the iron filings out of the mixture because iron is magnetic solid, but sand will not attract because sand is not magnetic solid.

So,  we use a magnet to pull out the iron filings as they are attracted to a magnet.
