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.

Two cars cover the same distance in a straight line. Car a covers the distance at a constant velocity. Car b starts from rest an
Artyom0805 [142]

a) For the motion of car with uniform velocity we have , s = ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2, where s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, t is the time taken a is the acceleration.

In this case s = 520 m, t = 223 seconds, a =0 m/s^2

Substituting

       520 = u*223\\ \\u = 2.33 m/s

 The constant velocity of car a = 2.33 m/s

b) We have s = ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2

s = 520 m, t = 223 seconds, u =0 m/s

Substituting

      520 = 0*223+\frac{1}{2} *a*223^2\\ \\ a = 0.0209 m/s^2

Now we have v = u+at, where v is the final velocity

Substituting

        v = 0+0.0209*223 = 4.66 m/s

So final velocity of car b = 4.66 m/s

c) Acceleration = 0.0209 m/s^2

Which of the following is the best explanation for acceleration? *
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:the rate of change in velocity

Explanation: acceleration =the change in velocity / time taken the unit is m/s2

While velocity is the distance traveled in a given direction/time taken.the unit is m/s

You are piloting a helicopter which is rising vertically at a uniform velocity of 14.70 m/s. When you reach 196.00 m, you see Ba
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The ball reaches Barney  head in  t = 8 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The rise velocity is  v  =  14.70 \  m/s

  The height considered is h =  196 \  m

   The horizontal velocity of the large object is  v_h  =  8.50 \  m/s

   

Generally from kinematic equation  

   s = ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

Here s is the distance of the object from Barney head ,

        u is the velocity of the object along the vertical axis which is equal but opposite to the velocity of the helicopter

So  

     u = -14.7 m/s

So

    196  = -14.7 t  + \frac{1}{2} * 9.8 * t^2

=  4.9 t^2 - 14.7t - 196 = 0

Solving the above equation using quadratic formula  

    The value of  t obtained is  t = 8 \ s
