1) In the reference frame of one electron: 0.38c
To find the relative velocity of one electron with respect to the other, we must use the following formula:
where
u is the velocity of one electron
v is the velocity of the second electron
c is the speed of light
In this problem:
u = 0.2c
v = -0.2c (since the second electron is moving towards the first one, so in the opposite direction)
Substituting, we find:
2) In the reference frame of the laboratory: -0.2c and +0.2c
In this case, there is no calculation to be done. In fact, we are already given the speed of the two electrons; we are also told that they travel in opposite direction, so their velocities are
+0.2c
-0.2c
Speed is constant. 50 miles = 1 hour. 600/50 = 12. 1hr(12) = 12 hours.
Answer:
5.01 J
Explanation:
Info given:
mass (m) = 0.0780kg
height (h) = 5.36m
velocity (v) = 4.84 m/s
gravity (g) = 9.81m/s^2
1. First, solve for Kinetic energy (KE)
KE = 1/2mv^2
1/2(0.0780kg)(4.84m/s)^2 = 0.91 J
so KE = 0.91 J
2. Next, solve for Potential energy (PE)
PE = mgh
(0.0780kg)(9.81m/s^2)(5.36m) = 4.10 J
so PE = 4.10 J
3. Mechanical Energy , E = KE + PE
Plug in values for KE and PE
KE + PE = 0.91J + 4.10 J = 5.01 J
The answer is. It did not meet the three criteria the IAU uses to define a full-sized planet.
1. It is in orbit around the Sun
2. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium
3. It has 'cleared the neighborhood' around its orbit
Pluto has not 'cleared its neighborhood'
