Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
<u>We have formula for the range of projectile:</u>
putting the respective values
is the velocity with which Tom should jump to land on the other roof.
Answer:
The ball will have a kinetic energy of 0.615 Joules.
Explanation:
Use the kinetic energy formula
The kinetic energy at the moment of leaving the hand will be 0.615 Joules. (From there on, as it ball is traveling upwards, this energy will be gradually traded off with potential energy until the ball's velocity becomes zero at the apex of the flight)
Answer:
A) The space time coordinate x of the collision in Earth's reference frame is
.
B) The space time coordinate t of the collision in Earth's reference frame is
Explanation:
We are told a rocket travels in the x-direction at speed v=0,70 c (c=299792458 m/s is the exact value of the speed of light) with respect to the Earth. A collision between two comets is observed from the rocket and it is determined that the space time coordinates of the collision are (x',t') = (3.4 x 10¹⁰ m, 190 s).
An event indicates something that occurs at a given location in space and time, in this case the event is the collision between the two comets. We know the space time coordinates of the collision seen from the reference frame of the rocket and we want to find out the space time coordinates in Earth's reference frame.
<em>Lorentz transformation</em>
The Lorentz transformation relates things between two reference frames when one of them is moving with constant velocity with respect to the other. In this case the two reference frames are the Earth and the rocket that is moving with speed v=0,70 c in the x axis.
The Lorentz transformation is
prime coordinates are the ones from the rocket reference frame and unprimed variables are from the Earth's reference frame. Since we want position x and time t in the Earth's frame we need the inverse Lorentz transformation. This can be obtained by replacing v by -v and swapping primed an unprimed variables in the first set of equations
First we calculate the expression in the denominator
then we calculate t
finally we get that
then we calculate x
finally we get that
