Answer:

the magnitude of the velocity of one particle relative to the other is 0.9988c

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Velocities of the two particles = 0.9520c

Using Lorentz transformation

Let relative velocity be W, so

v_r = ( u + v ) / ( 1 + ( uv / c²) )

since each particle travels with the same speed,

u = v

so

v_r = ( u + u ) / ( 1 + ( u×u / c²) )  

v_r = 2(0.9520c) / ( 1 + ( 0.9520c )² / c²) )  

we substitute

v_r = 1.904c / ( 1 + ( (0.906304 × c² ) / c²) )  

v_r = 1.904c / ( 1 + 0.906304 )

v_r = 1.904c / 1.906304

v_r = 0.9988c

Therefore, the magnitude of the velocity of one particle relative to the other is 0.9988c

5. Which unit of electricity does the work in a circuit?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Volt

Explanation:

Voltage is what makes electric charges move. ... Voltage is also called, in certain circumstances, electromotive force (EMF). Voltage is an electrical potential difference, the difference in electric potential between two places. The unit for electrical potential difference, or voltage, is the volt.

The ohm is defined as an electrical resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt, applied to these points, produces in the conductor a current of one ampere, the conductor not being the seat of any electromotive force.

The coulomb (symbolized C) is the standard unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). ... In terms of SI base units, the coulomb is the equivalent of one ampere-second. Conversely, an electric current of A represents 1 C of unit electric charge carriers flowing past a specific point in 1 s.

An ampere is a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor. One ampere of current represents one coulomb of electrical charge (6.24 x 1018 charge carriers) moving past a specific point in one second.

Which of the following changes would decrease the coefficient of friction needed for this ride?
posledela
Friction occurs between two contacting surfaces. The coefficient of friction is very much dependent on the roughness of these surfaces. Some of the many ways in which the coefficient can be lessened or decreased are to lubricate the surface or make it shiny by eliminating the spikes which caused the roughness.
