When charged particles are separated by an infinite distance, the electric potentialenergy of the pair is zero. When the particl

es are brought close, the electric potentialenergy of a pair with the same sign of charge is positive, whereas the electric potentialenergy of a pair with opposite signs is negative. Give a physical explanation of this statement.

Explanation:

When a body has an electric charge, it generates an electric field around it, if we introduce an electric charge into this field, it will be affected by the first one. Experiencing a greater force the closer a charge is to the other, that is, depends on the position within the electric field. This force is conservative, so it can be found from the negative derivative of a scalar field, this field is the electric potential energy. Therefore, if the charges are of the same sign, the force will be repulsive (-) and the potential energy will be positive. If the charges are different, the force will be attractive (+) and the potential energy will be negative.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Complete question:

Part A:) The fictional rocket ship Adventure is measured to be 50 m long by the ship's captain inside the rocket.When the rocket moves past a space dock at 0.5c , space-dock personnel measure the rocket ship to be 43.3 m long. The rocket ship Adventure travels to a star many light-years away, then turns around and returns at the same speed. When it returns to the space dock, who would have aged less: the space-dock personnel or ship's captain?

Part B: What is the momentum of a proton traveling at 0.62 c ?

Answer

a)Who would have aged less=The Captain would have aged less

b) p=3.96*10^{-19}kgm/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Length measured by captain l_c=50m

Speed of rocket past tje space dock V=0.5c

Length measured by space-dock personnel l_c=43.3m

a)

Generally time moves slower when moving at speed of light, due to time dilation or variation.

Who would have aged less=The Captain would have aged less

b)

Generally the equation for Relativistic Momentum  is mathematically given as

p=\frac{m*v}{1 - v^2/c^2}

p=\frac{1.67*10^2-27*0.62*3.0*10^8)}{\sqrt{ 1 -0.6^2}}

p=3.96*10^{-19}kgm/s
