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>

Which state or states of matter take(s) the shape of its container? A) gas B) solid C) liquid D) liquid and gas
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

D) liquid and gas

Explanation:

The three main states of matter are:

- Solid: in solids, the molecules are bond together by strong intermolecular forces, so the molecules are not free to move. Therefore, a solid has a definite shape, so it does not take the shape of its container.

- Liquid: in liquids, molecules are not bond together, so they are free to move (still, there are some weak intermolecular forces which keep them close to each other). Since in liquids molecules can slide past each other, they take the shape of the container.

- Gas: in gases, molecules are totally free to move, so gases take the shape (and also the volume) of the container.

Based on the definitions above, we can conclude that the correct answer is

D) liquid and gas
