Two observers in different inertial reference frames moving relative to each other at nearly the speed of light see the same two

events but, using precise equipment, record different time intervals between the two events. Which of the following is true of their measurements?
(a)One observer is incorrect, but it is impossible to tell which one.
(b)One observer is incorrect, and it is possible to tell which one.
(c)Both observers are incorrect.
(d)Both observers are correct.

Answer:

The correct answer is d Both the observer's are correct

Explanation:

We know by postulates of relativity that laws of physics are same in different inertial frames.

Thus for each of the frames they make observations related to their frames and since the observations are true for their individual frames they both are correct. But when we compare the two frames we need to use transformation equations to compare both the results.

A 1050 kg sports car is moving westbound at 13.0 m/s on a level road when it collides with a 6320 kg truck driving east on the s
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

(A) V = 9.89m/s

(B) U = -2.50m/s

(C) ΔK.E = –377047J

(D) ΔK.E = –257750J

Explanation:

The full solution can be found in the attachment below. The east has been chosen as the direction for positivity.

This problem involves the principle of momentum conservation. This principle states that the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision. This problem is an inelastic kind of collision for which the momentum is conserved but the kinetic energy is not. The kinetic energy after collision is always lesser than that before collision. The balance is converted into heat by friction, and also sound energy.

See attachment below for full solution.

A particle with charge 3.20×10−19 c is placed on the x axis in a region where the electric potential due to other charges increa
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

-5 V

Explanation:

The charged particle (which is positively charged) moves from point A to B, and its kinetic energy increases: it means that the particle is following the direction of the field, so its potential energy is decreasing (because it's been converted into potential energy), therefore it is moving from a point at higher potential (A) to a point at lower potential (B). This means that the value

vb−va

is negative.

We can calculate the potential difference between the two points by using the law of conservation of energy:

\Delta K+ \Delta U=0\\\Delta K + q\Delta V=0

where:

\Delta K=+1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J is the change in kinetic energy of the particle

q=3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C is the charge of the particle

\Delta V =V_b-V_a is the potential difference

Re-arranging the equation, we can find the value of the potential difference:

\Delta V=V_b-V_a = -\frac{\Delta K}{q}=-\frac{1.6\cdot 10^{-18} J}{3.2\cdot 10^{-19} C}=-5 V

Define limitations in the operation conditions of a pn junction<br>​
suter [353]

Answer:

Such limitations are given below.

Explanation:

  • Each pn junction provides limited measurements of maximum forwarding current, highest possible inversion voltage as well as the maximum output level.
  • If controlled within certain adsorption conditions, the pn junction could very well offer satisfying performance.
  • In connector operation, the maximum inversion voltage seems to be of significant importance.

A stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. What is the spe
KIM [24]

Answer: V = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As  stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,

F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz

Using doppler effect formula

F = C/ ( C - V) × f

Where

F = observed frequency

f = source frequency

C = speed of light = 3×10^8

V = speed of the car

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10

2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)

1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)

Cross multiply

300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8

Collect the like terms

1.000000049V = 14.71429

Make V the subject of formula

V = 14.71429/1.000000049

V = 14.7 m/s

The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately.
