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

Physics
1 answer:
valina [46]3 years ago
4 0

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>

Answer:

Final velocity, V = 11.5m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity, U = 2.5m/s

Acceleration, a = 1.5m/s²

Time, t = 6secs

To find the final velocity, we would use the first equation of motion

V = U + at

Substituting into the equation, we have

V = 2.5 + 1.5*6

V = 2.5 + 9

Final velocity, V = 11.5m/s

"Which of the following statements about electrons is not true?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

B) Within an atom, an electron can have only particular energies.

Explanation:

As we know that electrons have energy but apart from electrons we know that protons and neutrons inside the nucleus of atom will also have energy in them.

rest all the statements are true as we have

A) Electrons orbit the nucleus rather like planets orbiting the Sun.

TRUE, because electrons can move in stationary orbit around the nucleus

C) Electrons can jump between energy levels in an atom only if they receive or give up an amount of energy equal to the difference in energy between the energy levels.

Difference amount of energy is lost or absorbed by the electron in form of photons

D) An electron has a negative electrical charge.

Charge of an electron is given as -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

E) Electrons have very little mass compared to protons or neutrons

Mass of an electron is given as

m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg

mass of proton or neutron

m_p = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg
