What is the magnitude of the relativistic momentum of a proton with a relativistic total energy of 2.7 3 10210 j?

Hoochie [10]3 years ago

The equation that is applicable to this problem is expressed as <span>

p = γmu 

where p is the relativistic momentum, m is equal to the proton mass and u is the speed of proton. γ is equal to 1/√(1 - u²/c²) where c is the speed of light. 

<span>Another equation to determine p fully is to use this relativistic equation:
E = γmc² 

where E is the total kinetic energy including the gamma energy.</span></span>

<span>We are given with E = 2.7 × 10^(-10) J and from a proton’s data, mc^2 = 938.27201 MeV. Using the conversion from MeV to J which is 1 eV = 1.60218 * 10^(-19) J, we compute for γ</span>

γ=E/mc^2 =2.7 × 10^(-10) J / 938.27201x10^6 eV *(1.60218 * 10^(-19) J/eV) = 1.80

we use this number to determine u from the second equation γ = 1/√(1 - u²/c²)

we square both sides and cross multiply, resulting to <span>
γ² (1 - u²/c²) = 1 

u²/c² = (γ² -1)/γ² </span>

u = c/y sq rt of (γ² -1)

u = 0.83<span>

Substituting eventually to the first equation, we get

p = γmu 

p = 1.80 * 1.67262 * 10^(-27) kg * 0.83 * 2.99792 * 10^8 m/s 

<span>p = 7.481 * 10^(-19) kg.m/s</span></span>

A car is traveling at a speed of 20m/s and has a mass of 1200kg how much kinetic energy does it have
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for Kinetic Energy is

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2. Filling in:

KE=\frac{1}{2}(1200)(20)^2 It looks like we only need 1 significant digit here but I'll give you 2 and you can round how you want.

KE = 2.4 × 10⁵ J

Light of wavelength 400 nm is incident on a single slit of width 15 microns. If a screen is placed 2.5 m from the slit. How far
olganol [36]

Answer:

0.0667 m

Explanation:

λ = wavelength of light = 400 nm = 400 x 10⁻⁹ m

D = screen distance = 2.5 m

d = slit width = 15 x 10⁻⁶ m

n = order = 1

θ = angle = ?

Using the equation

d Sinθ = n λ

(15 x 10⁻⁶) Sinθ = (1) (400 x 10⁻⁹)

Sinθ = 26.67 x 10⁻³

y = position of first minimum

Using the equation for small angles

tanθ = Sinθ = y/D

26.67 x 10⁻³ = y/2.5

y = 0.0667 m

an electromagnetic wave propagates in a vacuum in the x-direction. In what direction does the electric field oscilate
sweet [91]

Answer:

<em>The electric field  can either oscillates in the z-direction, or the y-direction, but must oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field.</em>

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves that have an oscillating magnetic and electric field, that oscillates perpendicularly to one another. Electromagnetic waves are propagated in a direction perpendicular to both the electric and the magnetic field. If the wave is propagated in the x-direction, then the electric field can either oscillate in the y-direction, or the z-direction but must oscillate perpendicularly to both the the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field, and the direction of propagation of the wave.
