An observer in frame S sees lightning simultaneously strike two points 100 m apart. The first strike occurs at xx1 = yy1 = zz1 =

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

a) 0, = -0.33 us

b) 140m

c) No, The event are not simultaneous i.e they did not occur at the same time, the second even (-0.33 usec) occurs 0.33 usec earlier than the first event.

Explanation:

a)

the lorentz factor expression is written as;

y = 1₀ / √(1 - (v²/c²))

where v is the relative speed of an observer and c is the speed of light

so we were given that relative speed to be o.7c

therefore

y = 1 / √(1 - ((0.7c)² / c²))

y = 1 / √(1 - (0.49c² / c²))

y = 1 / √(1 - 0.49)

y = 1 / 0.7141

y = 1.4

1 - the coordinates of the first event, the s' frame of reference is,

x1 ' = y(x1 - vt1) = 0

y1 ' = y1, z1' = z1 and

t1 ' = y [t1 - v/c²x1]

= 0

2 - the coordinates of the second event, the s ' frame of reference is'

x2 ' = y(x2-vt2)

= 1.4(100m - 0)

= 140m

y2 ' = y2, z2 ' = z2

t2 ' = y [ t2 - v/c²x2 ]

= 1.4 [ 0 - 0.7c/c²(100) ]

using speed of light c as 3*10^8

1.4 [ 0 - (0.7*3*10^8) / (3*10^8)²(100) ]

= -0.33 us

b)

distance between

delltaX' = X2' - X1'

= 140m - 0

= 140m

c)

No, The event are not simultaneous i.e they did not occur at the same time.

the second even (-0.33 us) occurs 0.33 us earlier than the first event.

A plastic bottle partially filled with water floats on water, even though the density of the plastic (1.2 g/cc) is more than tha

Semmy [17]

Answer:

True the plastic will float because of the principle of flotation or buoyancy

Explanation:

Buoyancy explains it all!!

Buoyancy is the upward force/upthrust experienced by a body immersed totally or partially in a liquid.

According to the principle of flotation:

<em>"when a body is totally or partially immersed in liquid it experiences an upthrust which is equal to the volume of fluid displaced"</em>

The plastic will float due to the fact the average density of the total volume of the plastic and the air inside it is less than the same volume of water it is floating in

The fast train known as the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) that runs south from Paris, France, has a scheduled average speed of 21

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

average speed of train $(v_{avg})=216 kmph\approx 60 m/s$

Maximum acceleration=0.05g

Now centripetal acceleration is

$a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$0.05\times 9.8=\frac{60^2}{r}$

r=7346.93 m

(b)Radius of curvature=900 m

therefore $a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{a_cr}$

$v=\sqrt{0.05\times 9.8\times 900}$

$v=\sqrt{441}=21 m/s$

The British attempted to break the land-speed record and the sound barrier using a jet-powered car. They made their attempt in t

jolli1 [7]

Your answer is B.

The relationship between medium temperature and speed of sound is a direct relationship: when one factor increases, the other increases as is shown in graph B. The British would choose the the time of day which would give the lowest speed of sound, because this would be easiest to break. Graph B shows that the lowest speed of sound would occur with the lowest air temperature - in the morning.
