A train with proper length L has clocks at the front and back. A photon is fired from the front to the back. Working in the trai

n frame, we can easily say that if the photon leaves the front of the train when a clock there reads zero, then it arrives at the back when a clock there reads L/c. Now consider this setup in the ground frame, where the train travels by at speed v. Rederive the above frame-independent result (namely, if the photon leaves the front of the train when a clock there reads zero, then it arrives at the back when a clock there reads L/c) by working only in the ground frame.

Explanation:

In train's rest frame, the speed of photon is c and the proper length of the train is L. The time taken by the photon to cross the train is t=\frac{L}{c}

In ground frame, the speed of the photon is given as follows:

v_{x}=\frac{v_{x}+v}{1+\frac{v_{x} \cdot v}{c^{2}}}

=\frac{c+v}{1+\frac{c v}{c^{2}}} \\=c

The speed of light or photon remains same in every frame of reference.

Now, the speed of train is very less as compared to the speed of photon so that v So that, \frac{v}{c} \ll 1

The length contraction in the ground frame is given as follows:

L^{\prime}=L \sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}

=L

Time taken by the photon to travel the length of the train in ground frame is .

STatiana [176]

Answer:

a = 0.55 m / s²

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by the relation

         a = v² / r

angular and linear velocities are related

         v = w r

we substitute

          a = w² r

In the exercise they indicate the angular velocity w = 1 rev/min, let's reduce to the SI system

          w = 1 rev / min (2pi rad / 1rev) (1min / 60s) = 0.105 rad/ s

let's calculate

          a = 0.105² 50.0

          a = 0.55 m / s²

It is correct to say that impulse is equal toA) momentum.B) the change in momentum.C) the force multiplied by the distance the f
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

B) the change in momentum.

Explanation:

The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision (\Delta t):

J=F \Delta t (1)

We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

F=ma

So, (1) becomes

J=ma \Delta t

Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time: a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}. If we substitute into the previous equation, we find

J=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t=m\Delta v

And the quantity m\Delta v is equivalent to the change in momentum, \Delta p.
