Answer:

For example, when you jump, your legs apply a force to the ground, and the ground applies and equal and opposite reaction force that propels you into the air. Engineers apply Newton's third law when designing rockets and other projectile devices.

The momentum of an electron is 1.75 times larger than the value computed non-relativistically. What is the speed of the electron

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Speed of the electron is 2.46 x 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

momentum of the electron before relativistic effect = $M_{0} V$

where $M_{0}$ is the rest mass of the electron

V is the velocity of the electron.

under relativistic effect, the mass increases.

under relativistic effect, the new mass M will be

M = $M_{0}/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$

where

$\beta = V/c$

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

V is the speed with which the electron travels.

The new momentum will therefore be

==> $M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$

It is stated that the relativistic momentum is 1.75 times the non-relativistic momentum. Equating, we have

1.75 $M_{0} V$ = $M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$

the equation reduces to

1.75 = $1/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }$

square both sides of the equation, we have

3.0625 = 1/ $(1 - \beta ^{2} )$

3.0625 - 3.0625 $\beta ^{2}$ = 1

2.0625 = 3.0625 $\beta ^{2}$

$\beta ^{2}$ = 0.67

β = 0.819

substitute for $\beta = V/c$

V/c = 0.819

V = c x 0.819

V = 3 x 10^8 x 0.819 = 2.46 x 10^8 m/s

Light travels at a constant speed of about 300,000 km/s. This speed is referred to as the speed of light. A light year is the di

Rama09 [41]

Based on the information in the question, a light year is the distance traveled light in one year. Then if the light from the star Centauri takes 4.2 years to reach the earth, then its distance from earth is 4.2 light years.

Ok plz answer and tell me how to do it

kirza4 [7]

Answer: 25N

method: total force in the right hand direction is 100N and total force in the left hand direction is 125N. To get the net force, we add forces if they are in the same direction and substract if they are in opposite directions. since 100N and 125N are in opposite directions, we substract the larger value from the smaller value. Then we get 25N in the left hand direction as the final answer.
