Answer:
0.8c and -0.14c
Explanation:
The first fragment will have a speed of +0.5c respect of a frame of reference moving at +0.5c
Lest name v the velocity of the frame of reference, and u' the velocity of the object respect of this moving frame of reference.
The Lorentz transform for velocity is:
u = (u' + v) / (1 + (u' * v) / c^2)
u = (0.5c + 0.5c) / (1 + (0.5c * 0.5c) / c^2) = 0.8c
The other fragment has a velocity of u' = -0.6c respect of the moving frame of reference.
u = (-0.6v + 0.5c) / (1 + (0.5c * 0.5c) / c^2) = -0.14c
M = mass of aluminium = 1.11 kg
= specific heat of aluminium = 900
= initial temperature of aluminium = 78.3 c
m = mass of water = 0.210 kg
= specific heat of water = 4186
= initial temperature of water = 15 c
T = final equilibrium temperature = ?
using conservation of heat
Heat lost by aluminium = heat gained by water
M
(
- T) = m
(T -
)
(1.11) (900) (78.3 - T) = (0.210) (4186) (T - 15)
T = 48.7 c
When a magnet is dropped, the domain become unaligned.
a) 1.57 m/s
The sock spins once every 2.0 seconds, so its period is
T = 2.0 s
Therefore, the angular velocity of the sock is

The linear speed of the sock is given by

where
is the angular velocity
r = 0.50 m is the radius of the circular path of the sock
Substituting, we find:

B) Faster
In this case, the drum is twice as wide, so the new radius of the circular path of the sock is twice the previous one:

At the same time, the drum spins at the same frequency as before, therefore the angular frequency as not changed:

Therefore, the new linear speed would be:

And substituting,

So, we see that the linear speed has doubled.
