Answer:

The relative speed of 1 relative to 2 is 0.88c

Explanation:

In relativistic mechanics the relative speed between 2 objects moving in different direction is given by

v_{ab}=\frac{v_{a}+v_{b}}{1+\frac{v_{a}v_{b}}{c^{2}}}

Since it is given that

v_{a}=0.6c\\\\v_{b}=0.6c

Applying values in the formula we get

v_{ab}=\frac{0.6c+0.6c}{1+\frac{(0.6c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}\\\\v_{ab}=0.88c

Determine qual é a carga elétrica de um corpo que possui 1 milhão de partículas?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

This can be translated to:

"find the electrical charge of a body that has 1 million of particles".

First, it will depend on the charge of the particles.

If all the particles have 1 electron more than protons, we will have that the charge of each particle is q = -e = -1.6*10^-19 C

Then the total charge of the body will be:

Q = 1,000,000*-1.6*10^-19 C = -1.6*10^-13 C

If we have the inverse case, where we in each particle we have one more proton than the number of electrons, the total charge will be the opposite of the one of before (because the charge of a proton is equal in magnitude but different in sign than the charge of an electron)

Q = 1.6*10^-13 C

But commonly, we will have a spectrum with the particles, where some of them have a positive charge and some of them will have a negative charge, so we will have a probability of charge that is peaked at Q = 0, this means that, in average, the charge of the particles is canceled by the interaction between them.

At what angle should the axes of two polaroids be placed so as to reduce the intensity of the incident unpolarized light to 13.
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

θ = 66.90°

Explanation:

we know that

I= \frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta

I= intensity of polarized light =1

I_o= intensity of unpolarized light = 13

putting vales we get

1= \frac{13}{2}cos^2\theta

⇒\theta=cos^{-1} \sqrt{\frac{1}{6.5} }

therefore θ = 66.90°

The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9. 8 m/s2. What is the weight of a car on Earth (to the nearest whole number) if it h
astraxan [27]

Hi there!

Recall the equation for weight.

W = Mg

W = Weight (N)

M = Mass (kg)
g = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)


The weight of an object depends upon its MASS and the strength of the GRAVITATIONAL field. We can solve for weight:

W = 1360 * 9.8 = \boxed{13,328 N}
