Yo my knowledge, refraction.
2nd and third laws of energy
Answer:
Its length is measured to be 0.5 m
Explanation:
From theory of relativity (mass variation), we know that:
m = mo/√(1-v²/c²)
Where, m = relative mass
and, mo = rest mass
The momentum of stick while moving, will be:
P = mv
but, it is given in the form of rest mass as:
P = 2(mo)v
thus, by comparison;
2(mo)v = mv
using value of m from theory of relativity;
2(mo)v = (mo)v/√(1-v²/c²)
√(1-v²/c²) = 1/2 ______ eqn(1)
Now, for relativistic length (L), we have the formula from same theory of relativity;
L = (Lo)√(1-v²/c²)
The rest length (Lo) of meter stick is 1 m, and the remaining term on right side √(1-v²/c²), known as Lorentz Factor, can be given by eqn (1), as equal to 1/2.
Thus,
L = (1 m)(1/2)
<u>L = 0.5 m</u>
Momentum (p) = mass × velocity
P= 200,000×4.5
P= 900,000 .... answer !!
