Answer:
the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum
Explanation:
Recall that the period (T) of a pendulum of length (L) is defined as:
where "g" is the local acceleration of gravity.
SInce both pendulums are at the same place, "g" is the same for both, and when we compare the two periods, we get:
therefore the period of the 16 m pendulum is twice the period of the 4 m pendulum.
Answer:
<em>0.85c </em>
Explanation:
Rest mass of Kaon = 494 MeV/c²
Rest mass of proton = 938 MeV/c²
The rest energy is gotten by multiplying the rest mass by the square of the speed of light c²
for the kaon, rest energy = 494c² MeV
for the proton, rest energy = 938c² MeV
Recall that the rest energy, and the total energy are related by..
= γ
which can be written in this case as
= γ
...... equ 1
where = total energy of the kaon, and
= rest energy of the kaon
γ = relativistic factor =
where
But, it is stated that the total energy of the kaon is equal to the rest mass of the proton or its equivalent rest energy, therefore...
=
......equ 2
where is the total energy of the kaon, and
is the rest energy of the proton.
From =
= 938c²
equ 1 becomes
938c² = γ494c²
γ = 938c²/494c² = 1.89
γ = = 1.89
1.89 = 1
squaring both sides, we get
3.57( 1 - ) = 1
3.57 - 3.57 = 1
2.57 = 3.57
= 2.57/3.57 = 0.72
= 0.85
but,
v/c = 0.85
v = <em>0.85c </em>
