A uranium nucleus is traveling at 0.94 c in the positive direction relative to the laboratory when it suddenly splits into two p

ieces. Piece A is propelled in the forward direction with a speed of 0.43 c relative to the original nucleus. Piece B is sent backward at 0.35 c relative to the original nucleus. Part A Find the velocity of piece A as measured by an observer in the laboratory. Do the same for piece B.

Answer:

A   u = 0.36c      B u = 0.961c

Explanation:

In special relativity the transformation of velocities is carried out using the Lorentz equations, if the movement in the x direction remains

     u ’= (u-v) / (1- uv / c²)

Where u’ is the speed with respect to the mobile system, in this case the initial nucleus of uranium, u the speed with respect to the fixed system (the observer in the laboratory) and v the speed of the mobile system with respect to the laboratory

The data give is u ’= 0.43c and the initial core velocity v = 0.94c

Let's clear the speed with respect to the observer (u)

      u’ (1- u v / c²) = u -v

      u + u ’uv / c² = v - u’

      u (1 + u ’v / c²) = v - u’

      u = (v-u ’) / (1+ u’ v / c²)

Let's calculate

      u = (0.94 c - 0.43c) / (1+ 0.43c 0.94 c / c²)

      u = 0.51c / (1 + 0.4042)

      u = 0.36c

We repeat the calculation for the other piece

In this case u ’= - 0.35c

We calculate

       u = (0.94c + 0.35c) / (1 - 0.35c 0.94c / c²)

       u = 1.29c / (1- 0.329)

       u = 0.961c

Lorico [155]

Answer:2.6 h

Explanation:

Given

Total Trip distance=450 miles

Meeting starts after 10.8 hours

safe Fastest speed is  55 mi/h

so if he drives all the to the meeting with max speed then it takes =\frac{450}{55}=8.181 h

and total allowable time is 10.8

Therefore longest time he can spend over dinner is 10.8-8.181 \approx 2.6 hours

In the nineteenth century, Gregor Mendel first determined some basic rules of genetics that have been observed throughout all ty
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Hi!


The correct option would be A) Mendel’s genetics states laws that are now part of the theory of biological evolution.


When Darwin proposed the idea of biological evolution, which revolved around the concept that favorable genes are naturally selected into a species to ensure survival, his theory was criticized as during that time there was the idea that individual traits of two parents would present themselves as a blend in the offspring.

Gregor Mendel's theory of inheritance supported Darwin's idea as it dealt with the transmission of traits in generations through entities called genes, which were present in pairs for a particular trait.


Hope this helps!

Potassium ions (K+) move across a 7.0 -mm- thick cell membrane from the inside to the outside. The potential inside the cell is
Reil [10]

Explanation:

Relation between potential energy and charge is as follows.

           U = qV

or,    \Delta U = q \times \Delta V

                   = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 70 \times 10^{-3}

                   = 112 \times 10^{-22} J

or,                = 1.12 \times 10^{20} J

Therefore, we can conclude that change in the electrical potential energy \Delta U is 1.12 \times 10^{20} J.

Arrange the substances in the table from the MOST to the LEAST ordered particle arrangement es ) A) wood, water, neon gas B) woo
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

A) wood, water, neon gas

Explanation:

Matter, which constitutes every known substances is said to exists in three states namely: gaseous, solid and liquid. Each state of matter contain particles that make up their structure.

- Solids have well arranged particles that are tightly packed together to give it its solid shape. Example is wood

- Liquids have particles that are loosely packed together, hence, can still move about. Example is water

- Gases have particles that are not packed together, hence, their ability to roam freely. Example is neon gas

Based on this, the order of MOST to LEAST ordered particle arrangement is solid - liquid- gas i.e. wood - water - neon gas.
