The formula that is applicable here is E = kQ/r^2 in which the energy of attraction is proportional to the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In this case,
kQ1/(r1)^2 = kQ2/(r2)^2 r1=l/3, r2=2l/3solve Q1/Q2
kQ1/(l/3)^2 = kQ2/(2l/3)^2 kQ1/(l^2/9) = kQ2/(4l^2/9)Q1/Q2 = 1/4
Answer:
A u = 0.36c B u = 0.961c
Explanation:
In special relativity the transformation of velocities is carried out using the Lorentz equations, if the movement in the x direction remains
u ’= (u-v) / (1- uv / c²)
Where u’ is the speed with respect to the mobile system, in this case the initial nucleus of uranium, u the speed with respect to the fixed system (the observer in the laboratory) and v the speed of the mobile system with respect to the laboratory
The data give is u ’= 0.43c and the initial core velocity v = 0.94c
Let's clear the speed with respect to the observer (u)
u’ (1- u v / c²) = u -v
u + u ’uv / c² = v - u’
u (1 + u ’v / c²) = v - u’
u = (v-u ’) / (1+ u’ v / c²)
Let's calculate
u = (0.94 c - 0.43c) / (1+ 0.43c 0.94 c / c²)
u = 0.51c / (1 + 0.4042)
u = 0.36c
We repeat the calculation for the other piece
In this case u ’= - 0.35c
We calculate
u = (0.94c + 0.35c) / (1 - 0.35c 0.94c / c²)
u = 1.29c / (1- 0.329)
u = 0.961c
