In an "atom smasher," two particles collide head on at relativistic speeds. If the velocity of the first particle is 0.741c to t

he left, and the velocity of the second particle is 0.543c to the right (both as measured in the lab rest frame), how fast are the particles moving with respect to each other?

Answer:

W_x = 0.9156\ c

Explanation:

given,

velocity of particle 1 = 0.741 c to left

velocity of second particle = 0.543 c to right

relative velocity between the particle = ?

for the relative velocity calculation we have formula

W_x = \dfrac{|u_x - v_x|}{1-\dfrac{u_xv_x}{c^2}}

u_x = 0.543 c

v_x = - 0.741 c

W_x = \dfrac{0.543 c - (-0.741 c)}{1-\dfrac{(0.543 c)(-0.741 c)}{c^2}}

W_x = \dfrac{0.543 c +0.741 c)}{1+\dfrac{(0.543)(0.741)c^2}{c^2}}

W_x = \dfrac{1.284c}{1+0.402363}

W_x = 0.9156\ c

Relative velocity of the particle is W_x = 0.9156\ c

How is the radiating electric field (or electromagnetic signal) produced when radio stations broadcast
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Radio stations have dipole type antennas

this field increases in intensity and propagates outwards,

Explanation:

Radio stations have dipole type antennas, that is, all sides are isolated from each other, when the AC signal from the radio station arrives, the lcharge begins at times and by the Lens law a field appears that opposes this movement, this field increases in intensity and propagates outwards, when the voltage reaches a maximum, the generated wave also reaches the maximum, now the incident wave begins to decrease, an electric hand appears to oppose this prisoner, and in this way a cap is created. electric .

Why is it good practice for scientists to repeat trails
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
It makes the data thet they collect more reliable so if they need the data again, they have already tested it a few times so therefor they know that it is right.

dusya [7]

Answer:

20.62361 rad/s

489.81804 J

Explanation:

I_i = Initial moment of inertia = 9.3 kgm²

I_f = Final moment of inertia = 5.1 kgm²

\omega_i = Initial angular speed = 1.8 rev/s

\omega_f = Final angular speed

As the angular momentum of the system is conserved

I_i\omega_i=I_f\omega_f\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{I_i\omega_i}{I_f}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=\dfrac{9.3\times 1.8}{5.1}\\\Rightarrow \omega_f=3.28235\ rev/s=3.28235\times 2\pi=20.62361\ rad/s

The resulting angular speed of the platform is 20.62361 rad/s

Change in kinetic energy is given by

\Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(I_f\omega_f^2-I_i\omega_i^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}(5.1\times (20.62361)^2-9.3\times (1.8\times 2\pi)^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta K=489.81804\ J

The change in kinetic energy of the system is 489.81804 J

As the work was done to move the weight in there was an increase in kinetic energy

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.
