Answer:

0.85 c

Explanation:

When the two travel at right angles to each other , their relative velocity is given by the hypotenuse formed by the x and y direction velocities.

Relative velocity of the two protons is  given as

\sqrt{v^{2}+v^{2}} = (\sqrt{2} ) v

If v = 3/5 c , then the relative speed = \sqrt{2} (3/5c) =0.85 c

The balls in the image above have different masses and speeds. Rank them in terms of momentum, from least to greatest.
N76 [4]
The momentum of an object is equivalent to the product of the object's mass and velocity. Computing the momentum for each ball:
A- 15 * 0.7 = 10.5
B- 5.5 * 1.2 = 6.6
C- 5.0 * 2.5 = 12.5
D- 1.5 * 5.0 = 7.5

Therefore, ball C has the greatest momentum.

A light wave travels through air at a speed of 3.0x108 m/s. Green light has a wavelength of about 5.76x1014Hz. What is the wavel
solong [7]

Answer:

521 nm

Explanation:

Given the values and units we are given, I'm assuming  5.76*10^14 Hz is frequency.

The formula to use here is λ * υ = c, where λ is wavelength, υ is frequency, and c is the speed of light.

λ = \frac{3*10^8\frac{m}{s} }{5.76*10^{14}Hz} = {5.20833*10^{-7} m}\approx{521 *10^{-9}m}={521 nm}

Consider two children sitting on a merry-go-round, with one closer to the outer edge and one closer to the center. show answer N
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

They both have the same angular speed.

Explanation:

The mathematical formula for angular speed is:

w=\frac{2\pi}{T}

where w is angular speed, 2\pi is a constant, and T is the period (the time it takes the marry-go-round to complete a lap).

What we can see from the formula is that, since the 2\pi does not change its value, the angular speed depends only on the period T.

In this case for both the children closer to the outher edge and for the children closer to the center, the time to complete a lap is the same, because the time does not depend on where they are sitting in the marry go round. This means that the period for both is the same.

Thus, since the period for both is the same, the angular speed given by

w=\frac{2\pi}{T} will also be the same
