Two electrons travel towards each other at 0.2 c parallel to the laboratory x-axis. What is the relative velocity of one electro
Leya [2.2K]

1) In the reference frame of one electron: 0.38c

To find the relative velocity of one electron with respect to the other, we must use the following formula:

u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}

where

u is the velocity of one electron

v is the velocity of the second electron

c is the speed of light

In this problem:

u = 0.2c

v = -0.2c (since the second electron is moving towards the first one, so in the opposite direction)

Substituting, we find:

u'=\frac{0.2c+0.2c}{1+\frac{(0.2c)(0.2c)}{c^2}}=\frac{0.4c}{1+0.04}=0.38c

2) In the reference frame of the laboratory: -0.2c and +0.2c

In this case, there is no calculation to be done. In fact, we are already given the speed of the two electrons; we are also told that they travel in opposite direction, so their velocities are

+0.2c

-0.2c

Question 6
Margaret [11]

Limestone and dolomite are the rocks present in the locations which leads to the formation of caves.

<h2>Formation of caves</h2>

The type of rocks that once existed in these  locations are limestone and dolomite whereas the pH of the nearby groundwater is slightly acidic which is responsible for the formation of caves. Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone due to acid rain.

<h3>Acid rain</h3>

Rainwater reacts with carbon dioxide from the air and percolates through the soil, which turns into a weak acid. This slowly dissolves out the limestone which become turn to form caves so we can conclude that Limestone and dolomite are the rocks present in the locations which leads to the formation of caves.

Find the magnitude of the resultant force and the angle it makes with the positive x-axis. (Let |a| = 22 lb and |b| = 16 lb. Rou
SVEN [57.7K]

Incomplete question as the angle between the force is not given I assumed angle of 55°.The complete question is here

Two forces, a vertical force of 22 lb and another of 16 lb, act on the same object. The angle between these forces is 55°. Find the magnitude and direction angle from the positive x-axis of the resultant force that acts on the object. (Round to one decimal places.)  

Answer:

Resultant Force=33.8 lb

Angle=67.2°

Explanation:

Given data

Fa=22 lb

Fb=16 lb

Θ=55⁰

To find

(i) Resultant Force F

(ii)Angle α

Solution

First we need to represent the forces in vector form

\sqrt{x} F_{1}=22j\\ F_{2}=u+v\\F_{2}=16sin(55)i+16cos(55)j\\F_{2}=16(0.82)i+16(0.5735)j\\F_{2}=13.12i+9.176j

Total Force

F=F_{1}+F_{2}\\ F_{2}=22j+13.12i+9.176j\\F_{2}=13.12i+31.176j

The Resultant Force is given as

|F|=\sqrt{x^{2} +y^{2} }\\|F|=\sqrt{(13.12)^{2} +(31.176)^{2} }\\ |F|=33.8lb

For(ii) angle

We can find the angle bu using tanα=y/x

So

tan\alpha =\frac{31.176}{13.12}\\ \alpha =tan^{-1} (\frac{31.176}{13.12})\\\alpha =67.2^{o}

(a) A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s2 . How long does it take to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h,
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

(a) Time t = 16.46 sec

(b) Time t =13.466 sec

(c) Deceleration = 2.677m/sec^2

Explanation:

(a) As the train starts from rest its initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

Acceleration a=1.35m/sec^2

Final speed v = 80 km/hr

80km/hr=\frac{80\times 1000}{3600sec}=22.22m/sec

From first equation of motion v =u+at

So t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{22.22-0}{1.35}=16.46 sec

(b) Now initial speed u = 22.22 m/sec

As finally train comes to rest so final speed v=0 m/sec

Deceleration a=1.65m/sec^2

So t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{0-22.22}{-1.65}=13.466 sec

(c) We have given that initial velocity = 80 km/hr = 22.22 m/sec

Final velocity v = 0 m/sec

Time t = 8.30 sec

So acceleration is given by

a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{0-22.22}{8.3}=-2.6771m/sec^2

As acceleration is negative so it is a deceleration

Agata [3.3K]
Electrons are important to the electric current because they are able to move from one atom to another. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged.
