Suppose that A’, B’ and C’ are at rest in frame S’, which moves with respect to S at speed v in the +x direction. Let B’ be loca

ted exactly midway between A’ and C’. At t’=0 a light flash occurs at B’ and expands outward as spherical wave.
1. According to an observer in S’, do the wave fronts arrive at A’ and C’ simultaneously?
2. According to an observer in S, do the wavefronts arrive at A’ and C’ simultaneously?
3. If you answered no to either 1. or 2., what is the difference in their arrival times and at which point did the front arrive first?

Answer:

1) an observer in B 'sees the two simultaneous events

2)observer B sees that the events are not simultaneous

3)  Δt = Δt₀ /√ (1 + v²/c²)

Explanation:

This is an exercise in simultaneity in special relativity. Let us remember that the speed of light is the same in all inertial systems

1) The events are at rest in the reference system S ', so as they advance at the speed of light which is constant, so it takes them the same time to arrive at the observation point B' which is at the point middle of the two events

Consequently an observer in B 'sees the two simultaneous events

2) For an observer B in system S that is fixed on the Earth, see that the event in A and B occur at the same instant, but the event in A must travel a smaller distance and the event in B must travel a greater distance since the system S 'moves with velocity + v. Therefore, since the velocity is constant, the event that travels the shortest distance is seen first.

Consequently observer B sees that the events are not simultaneous

3) let's calculate the times for each event

        Δt = Δt₀ /√ (1 + v²/c²)

where t₀ is the time in the system S' which is at rest for the events

For a ∆x of 0.1mm, what is ∆px, the uncertainty in the transverse momentum of a photon passing through a slit (where uncertainty
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

0.53\times 10^{-30}kgms^{-1}

Explanation:

Uncertainty principle say that the position and momentum can not be measured simultaneously except one relation which is described below,

\Delta x\Delta p=\frac{h}{4\pi }

Given that the uncertainty in x is 0.1 mm.

Therefore,

\Delta p=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} }{4\times 3.14\times 1\times 10^{-4}m }\\\Delta p=0.53\times 10^{-30}kgms^{-1}

Therefore, uncertainty in the transverse momentum of photon is 0.53\times 10^{-30}kgms^{-1}

A pendulum is raised to a height of 0.3m above its lowest point and released. What is the velocity of the pendulum at its lowest
enyata [817]

Answer:

v = 2,425 m / s

Explanation:

A simple pendulum has anergy stored at the highest point of the path and this energy is conserved throughout the movement.

highest point

           Em₀ = U = m g y

lowest point

          Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

         Em₀ = Em_{f}

        mg y = ½ m v²

        v = √ 2gy

let's calculate

        v = √ (2 9.8 0.3)

        v = 2,425 m / s

In the broadest sense, what was the kinectic molecular theory designed to explain?
faust18 [17]

Answer: Kinetic Molecular Theory claims that gas particles are in continuous motion and completely demonstrate elastic collisions. Kinetic Molecular Theory can be used to describe the rules of both Charles and Boyle. A series of gas particles only has an average kinetic energy that is directly proportional to absolute temperature.
