Answer:

4.999 × 10⁴ MeV

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is related to the rest energy by the Lorentz transformation equation as shown below.

Kinetic energy in the lab frame K= ( γ -1 ) Eo

The Lorentz constant γ = 1/\sqrt{1-v^2/c^2}

So γ =  1/\sqrt{1- (0.99217 c)^2/c^2}= 8.0067

⇒ K = (8.0067-1)(7134) = 49986 MeV

                                       =49,999 MeV ( 4 significant figures)

what is the main difference between a substance going through a physical change and one going through a chemical ?
Ainat [17]

Answer: Physical changes only change the appearance of a substance, not its chemical composition. Chemical changes cause a substance to change into an entirely substance with a new chemical formula. Chemical changes are also known as chemical reactions.

How to find the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve using a graph?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Solubility indicates the maximum amount of a substance that can be dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature. Such a solution is called saturated. Divide the mass of the compound by the mass of the solvent and then multiply by 100 g to calculate the solubility in g/100g .

Which of the following are found within the electromagnetic spectrum? Check all that apply. sound waves visible light X rays ult
sattari [20]

Answer:

Visible light

X rays

ultraviolet radiation

gamma rays

microwave radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields which vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). Electromagnetic waves have all same speed in a vacuum (c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s, known as speed of light) and are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency and wavelength. This classification is called electromagnetic spectrum.

From lowest to highest wavelength, the 7 types are:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Sound waves, on the contrary, do not belong to the electromagnetic spectrum, since they are another type of wave called mechanical waves (which consist of vibrations of the particles in a medium).
