Firecrackers 1 and 2 are 600 m apart. You are standing exactly halfway between them. Bob is standing 300 m on the other side of

firecracker 1. You see the flashes of light from the two firecrackers exploding at the exact same instant.
a) Does Bob see both firecrackers explode at exactly the same time, firecracker 1 explode first, or firecracker 2 explode first? Explain.

Answer:

the same time

Explanation:

since the speed of light is very fast (3×10^8 ms^-1) the difference in time arrived from firecrackers A and B to Bob is negligible, and our brain can distinguish such small time difference,l.

How do I solve this step by step? I’m really confused

LekaFEV [45]

Step-#1:

Ignore the wire on the right.

Find the strength and direction of the magnetic field at P,

caused by the wire on the left, 0.04m away, carrying 5.0A

of current upward.

Write it down.

Step #2:

Now, ignore the wire on the left.

Find the strength and direction of the magnetic field at P,

caused by the wire on the right, 0.04m away, carrying 8.0A

of current downward.

Write it down.

Step #3:

Take the two sets of magnitude and direction that you wrote down

and ADD them.

The total magnetic field at P is the SUM of (the field due to the left wire)

PLUS (the field due to the right wire).

So just calculate them separately, then addum up.

A particle with charge − 2.74 × 10 − 6 C −2.74×10−6 C is released at rest in a region of constant, uniform electric field. Assum

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

241.7 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Charge of particle= $q=-2.74\times 10^{-6} C$

Kinetic energy of particle= $K_E=6.65\times 10^{-10} J$

Initial time= $t_1=6.36 s$

Final potential difference= $V_2=0.351 V$

We have to find the time t after that the particle is released and traveled through a potential difference 0.351 V.

We know that

$qV=K.E$

Using the formula

$2.74\times 10^{-6}V_1=6.65\times 10^{-10} J$

$V_1=\frac{6.65\times 10^{-10}}{2.74\times 10^{-6}}=2.43\times 10^{-4} V$

Initial voltage= $V_1=2.43\times 10^{-4} V$

$\frac{\initial\;voltage}{final\;voltage}=(\frac{initial\;time}{final\;time})^2$

Using the formula

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=(\frac{6.36}{t})^2$

$\frac{2.43\times 10^{-4}}{0.351}=\frac{(6.36)^2}{t^2}$

$t^2=\frac{(6.36)^2\times 0.351}{2.43\times 10^{-4}}$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{(6.36)^2\times 0.351}{2.43\times 10^{-4}}}$

$t=241.7 s$

Hence, after 241.7 s the particle is released has it traveled through a potential difference of 0.351 V.

The kinetic energy of a rocket is increased by a factor of eight after its engines are fired, whereas its total mass is reduced

Rudik [331]

The momentum increases by a factor of 2

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by rewriting the momentum of the rocket in terms of the kinetic energy and the mass.

The kinetic energy of the rocket is:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ (1)

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

The momentum of the rocket is

$p=mv$ (2)

From eq.(1) we get

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}$

and substituting into (2),

$p=\sqrt{2mK}$

Now in this problem we have:

- The kinetic energy of the rocket is increased by a factor 8:

$K' = 8K$

- The mass is reduced by half:

$m'=\frac{m}{2}$

Substituting, we find the new momentum:

$p'=\sqrt{2(\frac{m}{2}(8K)}=\sqrt{4(2mK)}=2\sqrt{2mK}=2p$

So, the momentum increases by a factor of 2.
