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 this experiment, you will use a natural indicator to indirectly determine the H+ concentration of some common household solut
Vlad1618 [11]
Some of the scientific questions that may be answered through the experiment are:

(1) What are the physical changes that may occur in the solution or the indicator when added with acidic/basic solution?

(2) How much of the indicator is needed in order to bring about a significant physical change in the solution to identify its H+ concentration?

If we wish to expand (x + y) 8 , what is the coefficient of x 5 y 3 ? what is the coefficient of x 3 y 5 ?
Molodets [167]
We use the binomial theorem to answer this question. Suppose we have a trinomial (a + b)ⁿ, we can determine any term to be:

[n!/(n-r)!r!] a^(r) b^(n-r)

a.) For x⁵y³, the variables are: x=a and y=b. We already know the exponents of the variables. So, we equate this with the form of the binomial theorem.

r = 5
n - r = 3
Solving for n,
n = 3 + 5 = 8

Therefore, the coefficient is equal to:
Coefficient = n!/(n-r)!r! = 8!/(8-5)!8! = 56

b.) For x³y⁵, the variables are: x=a and y=b. We already know the exponents of the variables. So, we equate this with the form of the binomial theorem.

r = 3
n - r = 5
Solving for n,
n = 5 + 3 = 8

Therefore, the coefficient is equal to:
Coefficient = n!/(n-r)!r! = 8!/(8-3)!8! = 56

hram777 [196]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

Power = work divided by time

and Work is equal to force multiplied by displacement

therefore power =\frac{35 \times 20}{10}  = 70
