The answer is b.) the momentum before the collision is greater than the momentum after the collision
NikAS [45]3 years ago

Answer: A.) The momentum before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision.

Explanation:

From the Law of conservation of momentum, in a closed system, the net momentum is conserved.

Be it elastic collision or inelastic collision, whenever there is no external force acting in a system, the net momentum is always conserved.

Thus, initial momentum before collision is equal to the final momentum after collision.

Correct option is A.

Space pilot Mavis zips past Stanley at a constant speed relative to him of 0.800c. Mavis and Stanley start timers at zero when t
inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. The equation of Lorentz transformations is given by:

x = γ(x' + ut')

x' and t' are the position and time in the moving system of reference, and u is the speed of the space ship. x is related to the observer reference.

x' = 0

t' = 5.00 s

u =0.800 c,

c is the speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Then,

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (u/c)²)

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8c/c)²)

γ = 1 / √ (1 - (0.8)²)

γ = 1 / √ (1 - 0.64)

γ = 1 / √0.36

γ = 1 / 0.6

γ = 1.67

Therefore, x = γ(x' + ut')

x = 1.67(0 + 0.8c×5)

x = 1.67 × (0+4c)

x = 1.67 × 4c

x = 1.67 × 4 × 3×10⁸

x = 2.004 × 10^9 m

x ≈ 2 × 10^9 m

Now, to find t we apply the same analysis:

but as x'=0 we just have:

t = γ(t' + ux'/c²)

t = γ•t'

t = 1.67 × 5

t = 8.35 seconds

b. Mavis reads 5 s on her watch which is the proper time.

Stanley measured the events at a time interval longer than ∆to by γ,

such that

∆t = γ ∆to = (5/3)(5) = 25/3 = 8.3 sec which is the same as part (b)

c. According to Stanley,

dist = u ∆t = 0.8c (8.3) = 2 x 10^9 m

which is the same as in part (a)

A 0.5 kg mass on a spring undergoes simple harmonic motion with a total mechanical energy of 12 J. If the oscillation amplitude
Darya [45]

Answer:

The frequency of the oscillation is 2.45 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the spring, m = 0.5 kg

total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 12 J

Determine the spring constant, k as follows;

E = ¹/₂kA²

kA² = 2E

k = (2E) / (A²)

k = (2 x 12) / (0.45²)

k = 118.519 N/m

Determine the angular frequency, ω;

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega =  \sqrt{\frac{118.519}{0.5} } \\\\\omega = 15.396 \ rad/s

Determine the frequency of the oscillation;

ω = 2πf

f = (ω) / (2π)

f = (15.396) / (2π)

f = 2.45 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the oscillation is 2.45 Hz.

What is the period if the block’s mass is doubled? note that you do not know the value of either m or k , so do not assume any p
Oksanka [162]

The period of the block's mass is changed by a factor of √2 when the mass of the block was doubled.

The time period T of the block with mass M attached to a spring of spring constant K is given by,

T = 2π(√M/K).

Let us say that, when we increased the mass to 2M, the time periods of the block became T', the spring constant is not changed, so, we can write,

T' = 2π(√2M/K)

Putting T = 2π(√M/K) above,

T' =√2T

So, here we can see, if the mass is doubled from it's initial value. The time period of the mass will be changed by a factor of √2.
