An observer on Earth sees rocket 1 leave Earth and travel toward Planet X at 0.3c. The observer on Earth also sees that Planet X

is stationary. An observer on Planet X sees rocket 2 travel toward Earth at 0.4c. What is the speed of rocket 1 according to an observer on rocket 2?

Answer:

0.625 c

Explanation:

Relative speed of a body may be defined as the speed of one body with respect to some other or the speed of one body in comparison to the speed of second body.

In the context,

The relative speed of body 2 with respect to body 1 can be expressed as :

$u'=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{uv}{c^2}}$

Speed of rocket 1 with respect to rocket 2 :

$u' = \frac{0.4 c- (-0.3 c)}{1-\frac{(0.4 c)(-0.3 c)}{c^2}}$

$u' = \frac{0.7 c}{1.12}$

u'=0.625 c

Therefore, the speed of rocket 1 according to an observer on rocket 2 is 0.625 c

Explain, using the kinetic theory of matter, why liquids and solids are more denser than gases
AlekseyPX
Solid and liquids are much more denser than gas because their molecules are close to each other and with that the molecules of them can't move that freely unlike the gas molecules. Also, because of being near to each other the molecules of solid and liquids became heavy making them dense.

What is the electric potential energy of a charge that experiences a force of 3.6 x 10^-4N when it is 9.8 x 10^-5 from the sourc
Levart [38]
The electric potential energy of the charge is equal to the potential at the location of the charge, V, times the charge, q:
U=qV
The potential is given by the magnitude of the electric field, E, times the distance, d:
V=Ed
So we have
U=qEd (1)
However, the electric field is equal to the electrical force F divided by the charge q:
E= \frac{F}{q}
Therefore (1) becomes
U=Fd
And if we use the data of the problem, we can calculate the electrical potential energy of the charge:
U=Fd=(3.6 \cdot 10^{-4}N)(9.8 \cdot 10^{-5} m)=3.53 \cdot 10^{-8} J
