A group of students is measuring the change in momentum of an object. Which set of lab equipment would be most in measuring the

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The momentum of an object is defined as the mass of the object times the velocity of the object, as P = m*v.

So the equipment needed would be:

Something to measure the mass of the object, like a balance.

Something to measure the speed of the object, like a doppler radar, or a simpler thing may be a cronometer, with that you can measure the amount of time that the object needs to travel a given distance, and with that you can obtain the speed of the object.

Now you can notice that speed is different than velocity, this is true, velocity is a vector, so this has a direction, then you need something to fix the direction in which the object moves, in this way you can determine the velocity.

An alien spaceship traveling at 0.600 c toward the Earth launches a landing craft. The landing craft travels in the same directi

Arturiano [62]

The kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.

To find the answer, we have to know about the Lorentz transformation.

<h3>What is its kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame?</h3>

It is given that, an alien spaceship traveling at 0.600 c toward the Earth, in the same direction the landing craft travels with a speed of 0.800 c relative to the mother ship. We have to find the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame, if the landing craft has a mass of 4.00 × 10⁵ kg.

$V_x'=0.8c\\V=0.6c\\m=4*10^5kg$

Let us consider the earth as S frame and space craft as S' frame, then the expression for KE will be,

$KE=m_0c^2=\frac{mc^2}{1-(\frac{v_x^2}{c^2} )}$

So, to $V_x=(0.8+0.6)c-[\frac{0.6c*(0.8c)^2}{c^2}]=1.016$ find the KE, we have to find the value of speed of the approaching landing craft with respect to the earth frame.
We have an expression from Lorents transformation for relativistic law of addition of velocities as,

$V_x'=\frac{V_x-V}{1-\frac{VV_x}{c^2} } \\thus,\\V_x=V_x'(1-\frac{VV_x}{c^2} )+V$

Substituting values, we get,

$V_x=0.8c(1-\frac{0.8c*0.6c}{c^2} )+0.6c=(0.8c*0.52)+0.6c=1.016c$

Thus, the KE will be,

$KE=\frac{4*10^5*(3*10^8)^2}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(1.016c)^2}{c^2} } } =\frac{1.2*10^{22}}{0.179}=6.704*10^{22}J$

Thus, we can conclude that, the kinetic energy as measured in the Earth reference frame is 6.704*10^22 Joules.
