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

1 answer:

valina [46]3 years ago

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>

An object has a coefficient of static friction of 0.3 and a normal force of 30 N. Find the force of static friction.

gladu [14]

Answer:

9N

Explanation:

static friction=normal force x coefficient of static friction

so static friction =30N x 0.3= 9N

A 25 kg block is held against a compressed spring and then the spring is allowed to decompress giving the block a velocity. The

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

h=18.05 cm

Explanation:

Given that

m= 25 kg

K= 1300 N/m

x=26.4 cm

θ= 19.5 ∘

When the block just leave the spring then the speed of block = v m/s

From energy conservation

$\dfrac{1}{2}Kx^2=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$Kx^2=mv^2$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{kx^2}{m}}$

By putting the values

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{kx^2}{m}}$

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{1300\times 0.264^2}{25}}$

v=1.9 m/s

When block reach at the maximum height(h) position then the final speed of the block will be zero.

We know that

$V_f^2=V_i^2-2gh$

By putting the values

$0^2=1.9^2-2\times 10\times h$

h=0.1805 m

h=18.05 cm

A 74 kg firefighter slides, from rest, 4.9 m down a vertical pole. (a) If the firefighter holds onto the pole lightly, so that t

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Her speed is 9.8 meter per second

Explanation:

Newton's second law states that acceleration (a) is related with force (F) by:

$\sum\overrightarrow{F}=m\overrightarrow{a}$ (1)

Here the only force acting on the firefighter is the weight F=mg so (1) is:

$mg=ma$

Solving for a:

$a=g$

Now with the acceleration we can use the Galileo's kinematic equation:

$Vf^{2}=Vo^{2}+2a\varDelta x$ (2)

With Vf the final velocity, Vo the initial velocity and Δx the displacement, because the firefighter stars from rest Vo=0 so (2) is:

$Vf^{2}=2a\varDelta x$

Solving for Vf

$Vf=\sqrt{2g\varDelta x}=\sqrt{2(9.81)(4.9)}$

$Vf=9.8\frac{m}{s}$

a 28.7 KG sled is pulled forward with a 63 net force across the ground with MK equals 0.169 what is the acceleration of the sled

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

$0.54\ \text{m/s}^2$

Explanation:

F = Force on the sled = 63 N

m = Mass of sled = 28.7 kg

$\mu_k$ = Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.169

g = Acceleration due to gravity = $9.81\ \text{m/s}^2$

The force balance of the system is given by

$F-\mu_k mg=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{F-\mu_k mg}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{63-0.169\times 28.7\times 9.81}{28.7}\\\Rightarrow a=0.54\ \text{m/s}^2$

The acceleration of the sled is $0.54\ \text{m/s}^2$ .
