A supertrain with a proper length of 100 m travels at a speed of 0.950c as it passes through a tunnel having a proper length of

50.0 m. As seen by a trackside observer, is the train ever completely within the tunnel? If so, by how much do the train’s ends clear the ends of the tunnel?

Answer:

19m

Explanation:

we have proper length L = 100m

the speed of the train v = 0.95

the speed of light is given as = 3x10⁸

length of the tunnel is given as = 50 meters

we can solve for the lenght contraction as

LX√1-v²/c²

= 100 * √1-(0.95*3x10⁸)²/(3x10⁸ )

= 31.22 metres

the train would be well seen at

50 - 31.22

= 18.78

= this is approximately 19 metres

we conclude tht the trains ends clears the ends of the tunnel by 19 meters.

thank you!

laila [671]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. According to this concept, it is understood as the increase or decrease of the frequency of a sound wave when the source that produces it and the person who captures it move away from each other or approach each other. Mathematically this can be described as

f = f_0 (\frac{v-v_0}{v})

Here,

f_0 = Original frequency

v_0 = Velocity of the observer

v = Velocity of the speed

Our values are,

v = 340m/s \rightarrow \text{Speed of sound}

f = 20kHz \rightarrow \text{Apparent frequency}

f_0 = 21kHz \rightarrow \text{Original frequency}

Using the previous equation,

f = f_0 (\frac{v-v_0}{v})

Rearrange to find the velocity of the observer

v_0 =v (1-\frac{f}{f_0})

Replacing we have that

v_0= (340m/s)(1-\frac{20kHz}{21kHz})

v_0 = 16.19m/s

Therefore the velocity of the observer is 16.2m/s

Coulomb's Law: Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each one initially experiences an electrost
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The magnitude of electrostatic force on each charge is quarter of the magnitude of initial electrostatic force. ( ¹/₄ F)

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{kQ_1Q_2}{r^2}

where;

Q₁ and Q₂ are the magnitude of the charges

r is the distance between the charges

k is Coulomb's constant

Since the charges are identical;

Q₁ = Q

Q₂ = Q

the electrostatic force experienced by each charge is given by;

F =  \frac{kQ^2}{r^2}

When each of the spheres has lost half of its initial charge;

Q₁ = Q/2

Q₂ = Q/2

F_2 = \frac{k(Q/2)(Q/2)}{r^2}\\\\ F_2 = \frac{k(Q)(Q)}{4r^2}\\\\F_2 = \frac{1}{4} (\frac{kQ^2}{r^2} )\\\\F_2 = \frac{1}{4} (F)

Therefore, the magnitude of electrostatic force on each charge is quarter of the magnitude of initial electrostatic force.
