A rocket train car that is 30 m long is traveling from Los Angeles to New York at v=0.5c when a light at the center of the car f

lashes. When the light reaches the front of the car, it immediately rings a bell. Light reaching the back of the car immediately sounds a siren. A bicyclist waiting to cross the tracks sees the light in front of her at the instant when it flashes. Choose frame S' so that its origin is located at the center of the train. Take the direction of motion of the train (eastward) to be the positive direction of x'. Let the instant when the light flashes be t′=0s.
Required:
What are (x′A,t′A) and (x′B,t′B), the spacetime coordinates of event A and B in S'?

Answer: The reference frame of a passenger in a seat near the center of the train

Explanation:

the speed of light is the same for the passenger and the bicyclist

then the avents are simultaneous fo the passenger not for the bicyclist

the delay between the two events for the bicyclist is

Δt=Δd/vs

where

Δd= lenght of train

vs=speed of sound

the reference frame of a passenger in a seat near the center of the train

Solution:

The space and time transformations are:

x' = γ(x - vt)

t' = γ(t - vx/c²).

In the primed frame the two events are simultaneous, so that Δt' = 0. Also here Δx' = 30. In the unprimed frame Δx' = 30 = γ(Δx - v Δt).......(*)

We also have Δt' = 0 = γ(Δt - vΔx/c²)→Δx = c²Δt/v......(**)

Substituting (**) in (*): 30 = γ(c²Δt/v - vΔt))→Δt = 30/(c²/v - v) =

30/(2c - 0.5c) = 6.7 x 10^(-8)s

dangina [55]

here we will use the torque balance about the knee joint

here we can say that

\tau_g = \tau_m

here torque due to weight is given as

\tau_g = 40.1 cos\theta*(l_1 + l_2)

\tau_g = 40.1 cos27.5*(0.105 + 0.150)

\tau_g = 9.07 Nm

now torque due to applied force of muscle

\tau_m = M*sin\alpha * l_1

\tau_m = M*sin30* 0.105

now by torque balance we will have

9.07 = M*0.5*0.105

M = 173 N

so here the magnitude of m will be 173 N

Aleks [24]

The purpose of the fraud fighter or also known as black light machine is that it has the ability to check counterfeited bills. It is designed to be a detector with the counterfeited bills, plus, it is a way of verification. It is composed of a UV light, where in, making it have the ability to detect the counterfeited bills which is its task to do.

Explain Rutherford's experiment?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Rutherford bombarded aluminum foil with beam of light known as alpha particles. The mass of this alpha particle is equivalent to helium atom.

Explanation:

Rutherford bombarded aluminum foil with beam of light known as alpha particles. The mass of this alpha particle is equivalent to helium atom.

When this alpha particles were made to strike the aluminum foil, some passed through the foil, some were reflected and speed others changed.

The ones reflected encountered heavier particle known as the nucleus, preventing them from passing through it. The whole observations indicated that atom is not is uniformly charged sphere as proposed by J.J Thomson.

Rutherford proposed new model known as the Planetary model of atom, which described atom as containing a nucleus which is revolved by electron, just like planets revolve round the sun. And this nucleus contains opposite charge to electron which is proton, to balance the motion.
