There is an upper limit on the speed of a particle. This means there is also an upper limit on its

Physics
1 answer:
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

As speed of a particle has a limit so does its momentum has a limit.

Explanation:

As we know that in this Universe no information can travel faster than the speed of light.

The speed of light is the fastest possible speed and hence the quantities dependent on it also have certain limits.

The momentum of a body at normal non-relativistic speed is given as:

p=m.v

The momentum of a body at relativistic speed (a speed of the order of speed of light) is given as:

p=m.v.\gamma

here

\gamma =\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }}  Lorentz factor

You are designing an optical fiber scope for directing light into a confined area. You want to keep light within the fiber. Base
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

 For entry of light into tube of unknown refractive index

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sinr = μ , μ is the refractive index of the tube , r is angle of refraction in the medium of tube

r = 90 - C where C is critical angle between μ and body medium in which tube will be inserted.

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sin( 90 - C)  = μ

sin65 / cos C = μ

sinC = 1.33 / μ  , where 1.33 is the refractive index of body liquid.

From these equations

sin65 / cos C = 1.33 / sinC

TanC = 1.33 / sin65

TanC = 1.33 / .9063

TanC = 1.4675

C= 56°

sinC = 1.33 / μ

μ = 1.33 / sinC

= 1.33 / sin56

= 1.33 / .829

μ = 1.6   Ans

If you went to a planet that had the twice the radius as Earth, but the same mass, a 1 kg pineapple would have a weight of
kicyunya [14]

Use the law of universal gravitation, which says the force of gravitation between two bodies of mass <em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ a distance <em>r</em> apart is

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

where <em>G</em> = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg².

The Earth has a radius of about 6371 km = 6.371 x 10⁶ m (large enough for a pineapple on the surface of the earth to have an effective distance from the center of the Earth to be equal to this radius), and a mass of about 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, so the force of gravitation between the pineapple and the Earth is

<em>F</em> = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (1 kg) (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg) / (6.371 x 10⁶ m)²

<em>F</em> ≈ 9.81 N

Notice that this is roughly equal to the weight of the pineapple on Earth, (1 kg)<em>g</em>, where <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s² is the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity, so that [force of gravity] = [weight] on any given planet.

This means that on this new planet with twice the radius of Earth, the pineapple would have a weight of

<em>F</em> = <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / (2<em>r</em>)² = 1/4 <em>G m</em>₁ <em>m</em>₂ / <em>r</em>²

i.e. 1/4 of the weight on Earth, which would be about 2.45 N.

Some neodymium glass lasers can provide 100TW of power in 1.0 ns pulses at a wavelength of 0.26 micrometers. how much energy is
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

 E = 10⁵ J

Explanation:

given,

Power, P = 100 TW

           = 100 x 10¹² W

time, t = 1 ns

           = 1 x 10⁻⁹ s

The energy of a single pulse is:-

Energy = Power x time

 E = P t

 E = 100 x 10¹² x 1 x 10⁻⁹

 E = 10⁵ J

The energy contained in a single pulse is equal to 10⁵ J

Determine which law is appropriate for solving the following problem.
Nostrana [21]

Charles Law

Explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that the original volume of the gas is 250 ml at 300 K temperature and 1 atmosphere pressure. We need to find the volume of the same gas when the temperature is 350 K and 1 atmosphere pressure.

Step 2:

We observe that the gas pressure is the same in both the cases while the temperature is different. So we need a law that explains the volume change of a gas when temperature is changed, without any change to the pressure.

Step 3:

Charles law provides the relationship between the gas volume and temperature, at a given pressure

Step 4:

Hence we conclude that Charles law can be used.
