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

What is the weight of a 4.2 kg bowling ball on Mars?
Nataliya [291]

What is the weight of a 4.2 kg bowling ball on Mars?

Answer:

1.59 kg

Explanation:

The formula is:

<u>F = G((Mm)/r2) </u>

F is the gravitational force between two objects,

G is the Gravitational Constant (6.674×10-11 Newtons x meters2 / kilograms2),

M is the planet's mass (kg),

m is your mass (kg), and

r is the distance (m) between the centers of the two masses (the planet's radius).

Hope this helps

A golf ball traveling 3m/s to the right collides in a head-on collision with a stationary bowling ball in a friction-free enviro
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: equal to 3 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of golf ball will be equal to 3 m/s because in Perfect Elastic Collision Energy is conserved .

So speed of golf ball will be same in order to Satisfy

Initial Kinetic Energy =Final Kinetic Energy

Considering Bowling ball remains at rest after collision other wise some energy will also be acquired by bowling ball which automatically decreases the amount of Kinetic Energy of golf ball resulting its speed to decrease by some extent.

What will be the change in momentum caused by a net force of 120N acting on an object for 2 seconds?
Vinvika [58]

The change in  momentum is 240 kgm/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Force, F = 120N

Time, dt = 2 sec

Change in momentum, dP = ?

We know,

F = \frac{dP}{dt}

On substituting the value we get:

120 = \frac{dP}{2}\\ \\dP = 240 kgm/s

Therefore, change in  momentum is 240 kgm/s
