Does the theory of relativity show that Newtonian mechanics is wrong?

Answer:

Einstein extended the rules of Newton for high speeds. For applications of mechanics at low speeds, Newtonian ideas are almost equal to reality. That is the reason we use Newtonian mechanics in practice at low speeds.

Explanation:

<em>But on a conceptual level, Einstein did prove Newtonian ideas quite wrong in some cases, e.g. the relativity of simultaneity. But again, in calculations, Newtonian ideas give pretty close to correct answer in low-speed regimes. So, the numerical validity of Newtonian laws in those regimes is something that no one can ever prove completely wrong - because they have been proven correct experimentally to a good approximation.</em>

The velocity of sound in air saturated with water vapour at 30°C

Luba_88 [7]

Explanation:

The velocity of sound depends on the density of the medium. So we need to find the density of air at each set of conditions. The density of air is:

ρ = (Pd / (Rd T)) + (Pv / (Rv T))

where Pd and Pv are the partial pressures of dry air and water vapor,

Rd and Rv are the specific gas constants of dry air and water vapor,

and T is the absolute temperature.

At the first condition:

Pv = 31.7 mmHg = 4226.3 Pa

Pd = 650 mmHg - 31.7 mmHg = 618.3 mmHg = 82433 Pa

Rv = 461.52 J/kg/K

Rd = 287.00 J/kg/K

T = 30°C = 303.15°C

ρ = (82433 / 287.00 / 303.15) + (4226.3 / 461.52 / 303.15)

ρ = 0.94746 + 0.03021

ρ = 0.97767 kg/m³

At the second condition:

Pv = 0 Pa

Pd = 650 mmHg = 86660 Pa

Rv = 461.52 J/kg/K

Rd = 287.00 J/kg/K

T = 0°C = 273.15°C

ρ = (86660 / 287.00 / 273.15) + (0 / 461.52 / 273.15)

ρ = 1.1054 + 0

ρ = 1.1054 kg/m³

The square of the velocity of sound is proportional to the ratio between pressure and density:

v² = k P / ρ

Since the atmospheric pressure is constant, we can say it's proportional to just the density:

v² = k / ρ

Using the first condition to find the coefficient:

(340)² = k / 0.97767

k = 113018.652

Now finding the velocity of sound at the second condition:

v² = 113018.652 / 1.1054

v = 319.75

A racetrack has the shape of an inverted cone, as the drawing shows. On this surface the cars race in circles that are parallel

sergey [27]

Answer:

The value of d is 183.51 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of car = 34.0 m/s

Suppose The car race in the circle parallel to the ground surface is at an angle 40°

The radius of circular path $r = d\cos\theta$

Normal force acting on the car = N

We need to calculate the value of d

Using component of normal force

The horizontal component of normal force is equal to the gravitational force.

$N\cos\theta=mg$ ....(I)

The vertical component of normal force is equal to the centripetal force

$N\sin\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$ .....(II)

Divided equation (I) by equation (II)

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v^2}{gr}$

Put the value of g

$\tan\theta=\dfrac{v^2}{g\times d\cos\theta}$

$v^2=\tan\theta\times g\times d\cos\theta$

$v^2=g\times d\sin\theta$

$d=\dfrac{v^2}{g\sin\theta}$

Put the value into the formula

$d=\dfrac{(34.0)^2}{9.8\times\sin40}$

$d=183.51\ m$

Hence, The value of d is 183.51 m.
