The concept to solve this problem is related to the relativistic physics for which the speed of the object in different frames of reference is related. This concept is called Velocity-addition formula

and can be written as,

u = \frac{v+u'}{1+\frac{vu'}{c^2}}

Where,

u = Velocity of a body within a Lorentz Frame

v = Velocity of a second frame

u'= The transformed velocity of the body within the second frame

c = speed of light

Replacing we have to

u = \frac{v+u'}{1+\frac{vu'}{c^2}}

u = \frac{0.47c+0.47c}{1+\frac{0.47c*0.47c}{c^2}}

u = 0.769c

u \approx 230'700.000m/s

Therefore the meteor moving with respect to the Earth to 230'700.000m/s

An electron with a speed of 0.95c is emitted by a supernova, where cc is the speed of light. What is the magnitude of the moment
krok68 [10]

Answer:

2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Momentum =?

Next, we shall determine the velocity of the electron. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of Light (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

Velocity of electron = 0.95c

Velocity of electron = 0.95 × 3×10⁸

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Finally, we shall determine the mometum of the electron.

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Thus, with the above formula, we calculate the momentum of the electron as follow:

Mass of electron = 9.1×10¯³¹ Kg

Velocity of electron = 2.85×10⁸ m/s

Momentum of electron =?

Momentum = mass x Velocity

Momentum = 9.1×10¯³¹ × 2.85×10⁸

Momentum = 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

Therefore, the momentum of the electron is 2.59×10¯²² Kgm/s

In a double slit experiment, 450 nm light passes through two slits producing an interference pattern where the first bright frin
musickatia [10]

Answer:

1.3 x 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

\lambda = wavelength of the light = 450 nm = 450 x 10⁻⁹ m

n = order of the bright fringe = 1

θ = angle = 0.2°

d = separation between the slits

For bright fringe, Using the equation

d Sinθ = n \lambda

Inserting the values

d Sin0.2° = (1) (450 x 10⁻⁹)

d (0.003491) = (450 x 10⁻⁹)

d = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ m

A very long insulating cylinder has radius R and carries positive charge distributed throughout its volume. The charge distribut
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

1.E(r) = \frac{\alpha}{4\pi \epsilon_0}(2 - \frac{r}{R})

2.E(r) = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{\alpha R}{r}

3.The results from part 1 and 2 agree when r = R.

Explanation:

The volume charge density is given as

\rho (r) = \alpha (1-\frac{r}{R})

We will investigate this question in two parts. First r < R, then r > R. We will show that at r = R, the solutions to both parts are equal to each other.

1. Since the cylinder is very long, Gauss’ Law can be applied.

\int {\vec{E}} \, d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{enc}}{\epsilon_0}

The enclosed charge can be found by integrating the volume charge density over the inner cylinder enclosed by the imaginary Gaussian surface with radius ‘r’. The integration of E-field in the left-hand side of the Gauss’ Law is not needed, since E is constant at the chosen imaginary Gaussian surface, and the area integral is

\int\, da = 2\pi r h

where ‘h’ is the length of the imaginary Gaussian surface.

Q_{enc} = \int\limits^r_0 {\rho(r)h} \, dr = \alpha h \int\limits^r_0 {(1-r/R)} \, dr = \alpha h (r - \frac{r^2}{2R})\left \{ {{r=r} \atop {r=0}} \right. = \alpha h (\frac{2Rr - r^2}{2R})\\E2\pi rh = \alpha h \frac{2Rr - r^2}{2R\epsilon_0}\\E(r) = \alpha \frac{2R - r}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R}\\E(r) = \frac{\alpha}{4\pi \epsilon_0}(2 - \frac{r}{R})

2. For r> R, the total charge of the enclosed cylinder is equal to the total charge of the cylinder. So,

Q_{enc} = \int\limits^R_0 {\rho(r)h} \, dr = \alpha \int\limits^R_0 {(1-r/R)h} \, dr = \alpha h(r - \frac{r^2}{2R})\left \{ {{r=R} \atop {r=0}} \right. = \alpha h(R - \frac{R^2}{2R}) = \alpha h\frac{R}{2} \\E2\pi rh = \frac{\alpha Rh}{2\epsilon_0}\\E(r) = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{\alpha R}{r}

3. At the boundary where r = R:

E(r=R) = \frac{\alpha}{4\pi \epsilon_0}(2 - \frac{r}{R}) = \frac{\alpha}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\\E(r=R) = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{\alpha R}{r} = \frac{\alpha}{4\pi \epsilon_0}

As can be seen from above, two E-field values are equal as predicted.
