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.

By what factors does the speed of the elctron exceed that of the proton?<br>​
____ [38]

Answer:

» An electron is lighter than a proton.

<u>explanation</u><u>:</u>

{  =  \: \sf{an \: electron \: has \: formula \:  \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{0}_{  - 1}e }}

hence it's mass number is zero

{  =  \: \sf{an \: electron \: is \: helium \: particle \:  \: }}{ \bf{ {}^{4} _{2}He  }}

hence it's mass number is 4

<u>Therefore</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>proton</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>heavier</u><u> </u><u>than</u><u> </u><u>electron</u>

» An electron has a small charge magnitude than a proton.

<u>Explanation</u><u>:</u>

An electron has charge of -1 while proton has charge of +2, therefore electron is less deflected by any energetic fields than a proton

You want to lean your dad's ladder on a smooth wall. If the mass of ladder is 4.42 kg and coefficient
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

angle minimum   θ = 41.3º

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use Newton's second law in the condition of static equilibrium

    N - W = 0

    N = W

The rotational equilibrium condition, where we place the axis of rotation on the wall

We assume that counterclockwise rotations are positive

     fr (l sin θ) - N (l cos θ) + W (l/2 cos θ) = 0

     

the friction force formula is

     fr = μ N

     fr = μ W

we substitute

      μ m g l sin θ - m g l cos θ + mg l /2   cos θ = 0

      μ sin θ - cos θ + ½ cos θ= 0

         

       μ sin θ - ½ cos θ = 0

       sin θ / cos θ = 1/2 μ

       tan θ = 1/2 μ

       θ = tan⁻¹ (1 / 2μ)

       θ = tan⁻¹ (1 (2 0.57))

      θ = 41.3º

Two large parallel conducting plates carrying opposite charges of equal magnitude are separated by 2.20 cm. Part A If the surfac
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

5308.34 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Surface density of each plate (σ) = 47.0 nC/m² = 47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2

Separation between the plates (d) = 2.20 cm

We know, from Gauss law for a thin sheet of plate that, the electric field at a point near the sheet of surface density 'σ' is given as:

E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

Now, as the plates are oppositely charged, so the electric field in the region between the plates will be in same direction and thus their magnitudes gets added up. Therefore,

E_{between}=E+E=2E=\frac{2\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

Now, plug in  47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2 for 'σ' and 8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m for \epsilon_0 and solve for the electric field. This gives,

E_{between}=\frac{47\times 10^{-9}\ C/m^2}{8.854\times 10^{-12}\ F/m}\\\\E_{between}= 5308.34\ N/C

Therefore, the electric field between the plates has a magnitude of 5308.34 N/C
