Answer:

0.8c and -0.14c

Explanation:

The first fragment will have a speed of +0.5c respect of a frame of reference moving at +0.5c

Lest name v the velocity of the frame of reference, and u' the velocity of the object respect of this moving frame of reference.

The Lorentz transform for velocity is:

u = (u' + v) / (1 + (u' * v) / c^2)

u = (0.5c + 0.5c) / (1 + (0.5c * 0.5c) / c^2) = 0.8c

The other fragment has a velocity of u' = -0.6c respect of the moving frame of reference.

u = (-0.6v + 0.5c) / (1 + (0.5c * 0.5c) / c^2) = -0.14c

If a ball has the weight of 3.76, how much work would it take to lift it 2 meters above the ground? (sorry if this question does

Aloiza [94]

We know, work done = Weight * Displacement
w = 3.76 * 2
w = 7.52 J

In short, Your Answer would be: 7.52 Joules

Hope this helps!

Which of the following statements is/are true?Check all that apply.a. A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

a). A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

TRUE

Because there is no energy loss in presence of conservative forces so energy conversion in two ways are possible.

b). A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.

TRUE

negative gradient of potential energy is equal to conservative force

$F = -\frac{dU}{dr}$

c). A non-conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.

FALSE

here energy is lost against non-conservative forces

d). The work done by a conservative force depends on the path taken.

FALSE

work done by conservative force is independent of path

e). The work done by a non-conservative force depends on the path taken.

TRUE

work done by non conservative forces depends on path.

f). A potential energy function can be specified for a non-conservative force.

FALSE

It is not defined for non conservative forces

Car a runs a red light and broadsides car b, which is stopped and waiting to make a left turn. car a has a mass of 1,800kg. car

frez [133]

The law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum is conserved, therefore total initial momentum should be equal to total final momentum. In this case, we can expressed this mathematically as:

mA vA + mB vB = m v

where, m is the mass in kg, v is the velocity in m/s

since m is the total mass, m = mA + mB, we can write the equation as:

mA vA + mB vB = (mA + mB) v

furthermore, car B was at a stop signal therefore vB = 0, hence

mA vA + 0 = (mA + mB) v

1800 (vA) = (1800 + 1500) (7.1 m/s)

An object that is initially not rotating has a constant torque of 3.6 N⋅m applied to it. The object has a moment of inertia of 6

Korolek [52]

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is equal to Net Torque divided by rotational inertia, which is the rotational equivalent to Newton’s 2nd Law. Therefore, angular acceleration is equal to 3.6/6 which is 0.6. Hope this helped!
