Problem 1 Observer A, who is at rest in the laboratory, is studying a particle that is moving through the laboratory at a speed

of 0.624c and determines its lifetime to be 159 ns. (a) Observer A places markers in the laboratory at the locations where the particle is produced and where it decays. How far apart are those markers in the laboratory

Answer:

markers are 29.76 m far apart in the laboratory

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

speed of particle = 0.624c

lifetime = 159 ns = 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

we know that; c is speed of light which is equal to 3 × 10⁸ m/s

we know that

distance = vt

or s = ut

so we substitute

distance = 0.624c × 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

distance = 0.624(3 × 10⁸ m/s) × 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

distance = 1.872 × 10⁸ m/s × 1.59 × 10⁻⁷ s

distance =  29.76 m

Therefore, markers are 29.76 m far apart in the laboratory

A cannon, located 60.0 m from the base of a vertical 25.0-m-tall cliff, shoots a 15-kg shell at 43.0o above the horizontal towar
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a)   v₀ = 32.64 m / s , b)  x = 59.68 m

Explanation:

a) This is a projectile launching exercise, we the distance and height of the cliff

         x = v₀ₓ t

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

We look for the components of speed with trigonometry

         sin 43 = v_{oy} / v₀

         cos 43 = v₀ₓ / v₀

         v_{oy} = v₀ sin 43

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos 43

Let's look for time in the first equation and substitute in the second

         t = x / v₀ cos 43

         y = v₀ sin 43 (x / v₀ cos 43) - ½ g (x / v₀ cos 43)²

          y = x tan 43 - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² 43

          1 / v₀² = (x tan 43 - y) 2 cos² 43 / g x²

           v₀² = g x² / [(x tan 43 –y) 2 cos² 43]

Let's calculate

          v₀² = 9.8 60 2 / [(60 tan 43 - 25) 2 cos 43]

          v₀ = √ (35280 / 33.11)

          v₀ = 32.64 m / s

.b) we use the vertical distance equation with the speed found

         y = v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

         .y = v₀ sin43 t - ½ g t²

        25 = 32.64 sin 43 t - ½ 9.8 t²

        4.9 t² - 22.26 t + 25 = 0

         t² - 4.54 t + 5.10 = 0

We solve the second degree equation

         t = (4.54 ±√(4.54 2 - 4 5.1)) / 2

         t = (4.54 ± 0.46) / 2

         t₁ = 2.50 s

         t₂ = 2.04 s

The shortest time is when the cliff passes and the longest when it reaches the floor, with this time we look for the horizontal distance traveled

         x = v₀ₓ t

         x = v₀ cos 43 t

         x = 32.64 cos 43  2.50

         x = 59.68 m

Assign a positive velocity to the red box and negative velocity to the blue box. Are they moving in opposite direction?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

<em>Yes, they are moving in opposite direction one to the other.</em>

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity, which means that it has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude shows the size of the velocity, and the direction shows which way it is moving in reference to a chosen reference direction. If the red box is assigned a positive velocity, and the blue box is assigned a negative velocity, as indicated in the question, then it means that the red box, and the blue box, both move in opposite direction to the other.

If the baseball and the plastic ball were moving at the same speed which ball would hit a bat harder
Lerok [7]
A baseball would hit the bat harder. This is because the baseball is a lot heavier and more dense than the plastic ball. The keyword that you're looking for is density. The baseball is dense.
