At what speed, as a fraction of c, will a moving rod have a length 65% that of an identical rod at rest

Physics

Answer:

v/c = 0.76

Explanation:

Formula for Length contraction is given by;

L = L_o(√(1 - (v²/c²))

Where;

L is the length of the object at a moving speed v

L_o is the length of the object at rest

v is the speed of the object

c is speed of light

Now, we are given; L = 65%L_o = 0.65L_o, since L_o is the length at rest.

Thus;

0.65L_o = L_o[√(1 - (v²/c²))]

Dividing both sides by L_o gives;

0.65 = √(1 - (v²/c²))

Squaring both sides, we have;

0.65² = (1 - (v²/c²))

v²/c² = 1 - 0.65²

v²/c² = 0.5775

Taking square root of both sides gives;

v/c = 0.76

How much work does the electric field do in moving a proton from a point with a potential of +125 v to a point where it is -55 v
777dan777 [17]
The work W done by the electric field in moving the proton is equal to the difference in electric potential energy of the proton between its initial location and its final location, therefore:
W= qV_i - qV_f
where q is the charge of the proton, q=1 e = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C, with e being the elementary charge, and V_i = +125 V and V_f = -55 V are the initial and final voltage.

Substituting, we get (in electronvolts):
W=e(125 V-(-55 V))=180 eV
and in Joule:
W=(1.6 \cdot 10^{-19})(125 V-(-55V))=2.88 \cdot 10^{-17}J
