The half-life observed by an observer at rest is 1.25 s

Explanation:

In this problem, the particle is travelling at a significant fraction of the speed of light: therefore, we have to consider the phenomenon of the time dilation. The half-life of the particle as measured by an observer at rest is given by

T=\frac{T_0}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{v}{c})^2}}

where

T_0 is the proper half-life of the particle

v is the speed of the particle

c is the speed of light

For the particle in this problem,

T_0 = 1 s

v=\frac{3}{5}c=0.6 c

Substituting into the equation, we find:

T=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(\frac{0.6c}{c})^2}}=1.25 s

While passing a slower car on the highway, you accelerate uniformly from 20.1 m/s to 33.2 m/s in a time of 10.6 s. How far do yo
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

282 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20.1 m/s

v = 33.2 m/s

t = 10.6 s

Find: Δx

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

Δx = ½ (33.2 m/s + 20.1 m/s) (10.6 s)

Δx ≈ 282 m

A shot is fired at an angle of 60 degree horizontal with Kinetic energy E. If air resistance is ignored, the K.E at the top of t
Lapatulllka [165]
I'm not sure what "60 degree horizontal" means.

I'm going to assume that it means a direction aimed 60 degrees
above the horizon and 30 degrees below the zenith. 

Now, I'll answer the question that I have invented.

When the shot is fired with speed of 'S' in that direction,
the horizontal component of its velocity is    S cos(60)  =  0.5 S ,
and the vertical component is   S sin(60) = S√3/2  =  0.866 S .  (rounded)

-- 0.75 of its kinetic energy is due to its vertical velocity.
That much of its KE gets used up by climbing against gravity.

-- 0.25 of its kinetic energy is due to its horizontal velocity.
That doesn't change. 

-- So at the top of its trajectory, its KE is 0.25 of what it had originally. 

That's  E/4 .
