What is general relativity

1 answer:

5 0

General relativity is a theory of space and time. The theory was published by Albert Einstein in 1915. The central idea of general relativity is that space and time are two aspects of spacetime. Spacetime is curved when there is gravity, matter, energy, and momentum.

A 1500 kg car moving with a speed of 20 m/s collides with a utility pole and is brought to rest in 0.30 s. Find the magnitude of

storchak [24]

Answer:

-100000 N.

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and it's acceleration. The S.I unit of Force is Newton(N). The Formula of force is given as,

F = ma ........................... Equation 1

Where F = Average force exerted on the car, m = mass of the car, acceleration of the car, a = acceleration of the car.

a = (v-u)/t..................... Equation 2

Where v = Final velocity, u = Initial velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(v-u)/t............. Equation 3

Given: m = 1500 kg, u = 20 m/s, v = 0 m/s (brought to rest), t = 0.3 s.

Substitute into equation 3

F = 1500(0-20)/0.3

F = 1500(-20)/0.3

F = -100000 N.

Note: The negative sign is due to the fact that the force exerted on the car by the pole is equal and opposite the force of the car.

In a cyclotron, the orbital radius of protons with energy 300 keV is 16.0 cm . You are redesigning the cyclotron to be used inst

Archy [21]

Answer:

16 cm

Explanation:

For protons:

Energy, E = 300 keV

radius of orbit, r1 = 16 cm

the relation for the energy and velocity is given by

$E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

So, $v = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{m}}$ .... (1)

Now,

$r = \frac{mv}{Bq}$

Substitute the value of v from equation (1), we get

$r = \frac{\sqrt{2mE}}{Bq}$

Let the radius of the alpha particle is r2.

For proton

So, $r_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{2m_{1}E}}{Bq_{1}}$ ... (2)

Where, m1 is the mass of proton, q1 is the charge of proton

For alpha particle

So, $r_{2} = \frac{\sqrt{2m_{2}E}}{Bq_{2}}$ ... (3)

Where, m2 is the mass of alpha particle, q2 is the charge of alpha particle

Divide equation (2) by equation (3), we get

$\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{q_{2}}{q_{1}}\times \sqrt{\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}}$

q1 = q

q2 = 2q

m1 = m

m2 = 4m

By substituting the values

$\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{2q}}{q}}\times \sqrt{\frac{m}}{4m}}=1$

So, r2 = r1 = 16 cm

Thus, the radius of the alpha particle is 16 cm.

Wavelength of blue photons 495 nm, what is the frequency? and what is the energy?

inessss [21]

Answer:

1.F: About 6*10^14 Hz

2.E: About 4*10^ -19 J

Explanation:

Frequency: We knew that the speed of a wave is its wavelength(λ)* frequency(f, in Hz). By the wave-particle duality we know we can calculate the frequency of light in the same way. So, c=495nm *f, f=c/495nm=> (299,792,458 m/s) / (4.95*10^-7 m)

=6.05*10^14 /s

Energy: The energy photon contains can be calculate by this formula-- E=hf

f is the frequency and h is Planck's constant which is about 6.62 ×10^-34 *m^2*kg/s (after dimensional analysis ) =6.62*10^ -34 J*s.

So, the energy of a blue photon is (6.05*10^14)*(6.62*10^-34)=40.051*10^-20= 4.051*10^-19 J

Atoms are known to form charges due to their ability to gain and lose electrons in reactions. As a result, atoms

galben [10]

Answer:

C. Fe: 24 electrons

Explanation:

From the analogy given, the atom with a charge of +2 is Fe having 24 electrons.

To calculate the charges on an atom;

Number of charges = Number of protons - Number of electrons.

O: 10 electrons: 8 protons = 8 - 10 = -2

N: 10 electrons; 7 protons = 7 - 10 = -3

Cl: 18 electrons; 17 protons = 17 - 18 = -1

So;

Fe: 24 electrons and 26 protons = 26 -24 = +2

Therefore, the solution is Fe
