The momentum of an electron is 1.75 times larger than the value computed non-relativistically. What is the speed of the electron

Physics

FrozenT [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<em>Speed of the electron is 2.46 x 10^8 m/s</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

momentum of the electron before relativistic effect = M_{0} V

where M_{0} is the rest mass of the electron

V is the velocity of the electron.

under relativistic effect, the mass increases.

under relativistic effect, the new mass M will be

M = M_{0}/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

where

\beta = V/c

c  is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

V is the speed with which the electron travels.

The new momentum will therefore be

==> M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

It is stated that the relativistic momentum is 1.75 times the non-relativistic momentum. Equating, we have

1.75M_{0} V = M_{0}V/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

the equation reduces to

1.75 = 1/ \sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2}  }

square both sides of the equation, we have

3.0625 = 1/(1 - \beta ^{2} )

3.0625 - 3.0625\beta ^{2} = 1

2.0625 = 3.0625\beta ^{2}

\beta ^{2} = 0.67

β = 0.819

substitute for  \beta = V/c

V/c = 0.819

V = c x 0.819

V = 3 x 10^8 x 0.819 = <em>2.46 x 10^8 m/s</em>

An automobile rounds a curve of radius 50.0 m on a flat road.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

14m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius of the curve  = 50m

Centripetal acceleration  = 3.92m/s²

Unknown:

Speed needed to keep the car on the curve = ?

Solution:

The centripetal acceleration is the inwardly directly acceleration needed to keep a body along a curved path.

 It is given as;

      a = \frac{v^{2} }{r}  

a is the centripetal acceleration

v is the speed

r is the radius

  Now insert the parameters and find v;

         v²   = ar

        v² = 3.92 x 50  = 196

         v  = √196 = 14m/s

A piston-cylinder device initially contains 0.08 m3 of nitrogen gas at 150 kPa and 200°C. The nitrogen is now expanded to a pres
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

V_2 = 0.125 m^3

Work done =  = 5 kJ

Explanation:

Given data:

volume of nitrogen v_1 = 0.08 m^3

P_1 = 150 kPa

T_1 = 200 degree celcius = 473 Kelvin

P_2 = 80 kPa

Polytropic exponent n = 1.4

\frac{T_2}{T_1} = [\frac{P_2}{P_1}]^{\frac{n-1}{n}

putting all value

\frac{T_2}{473} = [\frac{80}{150}]^{\frac{1.4-1}{1.4}

\frac{T_2} = 395.23 K = 122.08 DEGREE \ CELCIUS

polytropic process is given as

P_1 V_1^n = P_2 V_2^n

150\times 0.08^{1.4} = 80 \times V_2^{1.4}

V_2 = 0.125 m^3

work done = \frac{P_1 V_1 -P_2 V_2}{n-1}

= \frac{150 \times 0.8 - 80 \times 0.125}{1.4-1}

                  = 5 kJ

iragen [17]

<u>Given</u><u>:</u>

  • An object has a forward force = 100N

  • An object has a reverse force = 25N

<u>To</u><u> </u><u>find</u><u> </u><u>out</u><u>:</u>

What is the resultant force?

<u>Solution</u><u>:</u>

Resultant Force = Forward force + Reserve force

= 100 N + ( - 25 N )

= 75 N

If half of the weight of a flatbed truck is supported by its two drive wheels, what is the maximum acceleration it can achieve o
Scilla [17]

Answer:

Maximum acceleration will be equal to 3.43m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.7

And coefficient of static friction \mu _s=1

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

When truck moves maximum force will be equal to F=\mu _kmg

It is given that half of the weight is supported by its drive wheels

So force required =\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}

From newtons law maximum acceleration will be equal to a=\frac{\frac{\mu _kmg}{2}}{m}=\frac{\mu _kg}{2}=\frac{0.7\times 9.8}{2}=3.43m/sec^2
