A subatomic particle X spontaneously decays into two particles, A and B, each of rest energy 1.40 × 10^2 MeV. The particles fly

off in opposite directions, each with speed 0.827c relative to an inertial reference frame S. What is the total energy of particle A?

Answer:

E = 389 MeV

Explanation:

The total energy of particle A, will be equal to the sum of rest mass energy and relative energy of particle A. Therefore,

Total Energy of A = E = Rest Mass Energy + Relative Energy

Using Einstein's Equation: E = mc²

E = m₀c² + mc²

From Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, we know that:

m = m₀/[√(1-v²/c²)]

Therefore,

E = m₀c² + m₀c²/[√(1-v²/c²)]

E = m₀c²[1 + 1/√(1-v²/c²)]

where,

m₀c² = rest mass energy = 140 MeV

v = relative speed = 0.827 c

Therefore,

E = (140 MeV)[1 + 1/√(1 - (0.827c)²/c²)]

E = (140 MeV)(2.78)

<u>E = 389 MeV</u>

A woman climbs up a ladder in 1.37 s at 2.20 m/s. How tall is the ladder?
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

The ladder is 3.014 m tall.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we must use the following formula:

v = x/t

where v represents the woman’s velocity, x represents the distance she climbed (the height of the ladder), and t represents the time it took her to move this distance

If we plug in the values we are given for the problem, we get:

v = x/t

2.20 = x/1.37

To solve this equation for x (the height of the ladder), we must multiply both sides by 1.37. If we do this, we get:

x = (2.20 * 1.37)

x = 3.014 m

Therefore, the ladder is 3.014 m tall.

Hope this helps!

An object with a charge of 0.9 x 10^-5 C is separated from a second object with a chare of 2.5 x 10^-4 C by a distance of 0.5 m.
meriva

Answer: Force = 81 N

Explanation:

from Columbs law,

F = k(q1*q2)/r²

k = 9 x 10^9 Nm²/C²

F = (9 x 10^9)x (0.9x10^-5 x 2.5x10^-4)/(0.5)²

F = 81 Newtons
