A tracking station on Earth observes a rocket move away at 0.370c. This rocket is designed to launch a projectile at 0.505c rela

tive to the rocket. What speed (in terms of the speed of light) does the tracking station measure for the projectile if it is fired (a) straight ahead of the rocket or (b) backward from the rocket?

Answer

given,

speed of rocket moving away = 0.370 c

speed of projectile = 0.505 c

a) Speed of the tracking station

  u = 0.505 c + 0.370 c = 0.875 c

 u'= \dfrac{u-v}{1-\dfrac{uv}{c^2}}

 u'= \dfrac{(0.875 c)-0.370 c}{1-0.875 \times 0.370}

        u' = 0.747 c

b)  when the rocket is moving backward

    u = -0.505 c + 0.37 c = - 0.135 c

 u'= \dfrac{-v}{1-\dfrac{uv}{c^2}}

 u'= \dfrac{(-0.135 c-0.370 c}{1-(-0.135) \times 0.370}

        u' = -0.481 c

negative sign represent direction

erastovalidia [21]

A probability contour represents a bounded, finite volume about a nucleus in which there is a substantial probability of finding the electron is TRUE.

The rectangular of the wave characteristic, ψ2 , represents the opportunity of locating an electron in a given vicinity within the atom. probability finding electron at nucleus is zero.

An orbital is a mathematical feature that has a fee at all points in space. The magnitude squared of that fee is the chance according to volume of locating an electron in that volume of area.

The probability of locating electron in nodes is 0, but there are electron densities on all round nodes. The node is a point or a floor (relying at the type of node) so the volume of the vicinity wherein ψ=zero is zero. we want to position V=zero and we get P=zero so the chance of finding the electron on the node is zero.

A 2-kg ball is moving with a speed of 4 m/s, and a 4-kg ball is moving with a speed of 2 m/s. What can you conclude about the of
Mila [183]
<h2>Kinetic energy of mass 4 kg ball is less than kinetic energy of mass 2 kg ball</h2>

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = 0.5 x Mass x Velocity²

For ball of mass 2 kg

           Mass, m = 2 kg

           Velocity, v = 4 m/s

           Kinetic energy = 0.5 x 2 x 4² = 16 J

For ball of mass 4 kg

           Mass, m = 4 kg

           Velocity, v = 2 m/s

           Kinetic energy = 0.5 x 4 x 2² = 8 J

Kinetic energy of mass 4 kg ball is less than kinetic energy of mass 2 kg ball
