An observer in frame S sees lightning simultaneously strike two points 100 m apart. The first strike occurs at xx1 = yy1 = zz1 =

tt1 = 0 and the second at xx2 = 100 mm, yy2 = zz2 = tt2 = 0. (a) What are the coordinates of these two events in a frame S’ moving in the standard configuration (motion along the common xx − xx’ axis) at 0.70c relative to S? (b) How far apart are the events in S’? (c) Are the events simultaneous in S’? If not, what is the difference in time between the events, and which event occurs first?

Answer:

a) 0, = -0.33 us

b) 140m

c) No, The event are not simultaneous i.e they did not occur at the same time, the second even (-0.33 usec) occurs 0.33 usec earlier than the first event.

Explanation:

a)

the lorentz factor expression is written as;

y = 1₀ / √(1 - (v²/c²))

where v  is the relative speed of an observer and c is the speed of light

so we were given that relative speed to be o.7c

therefore

y = 1 / √(1 - ((0.7c)² / c²))

y = 1 / √(1 - (0.49c² / c²))

y = 1 / √(1 - 0.49)

y = 1 / 0.7141

y = 1.4

1 - the coordinates  of the first event, the s' frame of reference is,

x1 ' = y(x1 - vt1) = 0

y1 ' = y1, z1' = z1 and

t1 ' = y [t1 - v/c²x1]

= 0

2 - the coordinates of the second event, the s ' frame of reference is'

x2 ' = y(x2-vt2)

= 1.4(100m - 0)

= 140m

y2 ' = y2, z2 ' = z2

t2 ' = y [ t2 - v/c²x2 ]

= 1.4 [ 0 - 0.7c/c²(100) ]

using speed of light c as 3*10^8

1.4 [ 0 - (0.7*3*10^8) / (3*10^8)²(100) ]

= -0.33 us

b)

distance between

delltaX' = X2' - X1'

= 140m - 0

= 140m

c)

No, The event are not simultaneous i.e they did not occur at the same time.

the second even (-0.33 us) occurs 0.33 us earlier than the first event.

Explain what white light is and what it’s composed of.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The light that comes from the sun is called white light. Actually white light is a mixture of lights of different colors. When we look at the rainbow we can see the colors that make up the white light. This phenomenon, known as dispersion, occurs when a ray of composite light is refracted (refraction) in some medium, and its constituent colors are separated.

I attached you I picture where you can see this process

Basically, when the light passes through a glass prism, the different wavelengths that make up the beam of light travel inside it at different speeds and curl differently when entering and leaving resulting in a beam deviated from the initial direction and with its separate components.

Heat is extracted from a certain quantity of steam at
vodomira [7]

Answer:v=2452.91 m/s

Explanation:

Given

initially steam is at 100^{\circ}C and converted to 0^{\circ} C ice

Let m be the mass of steam

latent heat of fusion and vaporization for water is

L_f=3.33\times 10^5 J/kg

L_v=2.26\times 10^6 J/kg

Heat required to convert steam in to water at 100^{\circ}C

Q_1=m\times L_v=m\cdot 2.26\times 10^6 J

Heat required to lower water temperature to 0^{\circ}C

Q_2=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q_2=m\times 4.184\times (100)

Q_2=4.184m\times 10^5 J

Heat required to convert 0^{\circ}C water to ice at 0^{\circ}C is

Q_3=m\times L_f

Q_3=m\times 3.33\times 10^5=3.33m\times 10^5 J

Q=Q_1+Q_2+Q_3

Q=(2.26+0.4184+0.33)m\times 10^6 J

Q=3.0084m\times 10^6 J

So this energy is equal to kinetic energy of  bullet of mass m moving with velocity v

Q=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

3.0084m\times 10^6=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

v^2=3.0084\times 2\times 10^6

v=2.452\times 10^3 m/s

v=2452.91 m/s

The magnetic field lines due to a straight, current-carrying wire are __________. The magnetic field lines due to a straight, cu
Rama09 [41]

The magnetic field lines due to a straight, current-carrying wire are circular.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The concepts of Electromagnetism brought a new revolution to the science world. The idea is the source of many new modes of power and machines that reduces the manual work. Motors are the best example of machines that run on the concepts of electromagnetism. So the concept is that a current-carrying conductor induces a magnetic field in its nearby premise.

This magnetic field can perceive by the magnetic line of forces. Now, if we pour some iron dust around a current-carrying conductor, we'll see a concentric circular pattern around the straight wire whose centre will be at the conductor axis. The pattern of these magnetic lines of force may deflect with the variation of current in the wire but remain in the circular format.

A bird takes off from the tree and after 5 s is flying at a speed of 10 m/s. Calculate
Volgvan

Answer:

10miles/second

Explanation:

Change in velocity of the bird is expressed as the difference between the final velocity and initial velocity of the body.

Change in velocity = Final velocity - initial velocity

Since the bird takes off from the tree, the initial velocity of the bird = 0miles/sec

Final velocity = 10miles/secs

Change in velocity = 10-0

Change in velocity = 10miles/second
