A rocket travels in the x-direction at speed 0.70c with respect to the earth. An experimenter on the rocket observes a collision
marishachu [46]

Answer:

A) The space time coordinate x of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

x \approx 103,46x10^{9}m.

B) The space time coordinate t of the collision in Earth's reference frame is

t=377,29s

Explanation:

We are told a rocket travels in the x-direction at speed v=0,70 c (c=299792458 m/s is the exact value of the speed of light) with respect to the Earth. A collision between two comets is observed from the rocket and it is determined that the space time coordinates of the collision are (x',t') = (3.4 x 10¹⁰ m, 190 s).

An event indicates something that occurs at a given location in space and time, in this case the event is the collision between the two comets. We know the space time coordinates of the collision seen from the reference frame of the rocket and we want to find out the space time coordinates in Earth's reference frame.

<em>Lorentz transformation</em>

The Lorentz transformation relates things between two reference frames when one of them is moving with constant velocity with respect to the other. In this case the two reference frames are the Earth and the rocket that is moving with speed v=0,70 c in the x axis.

The Lorentz transformation is

                          x'=\frac{x-vt}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                                y'=y

                                z'=z

                          t'=\frac{t-\frac{v}{c^{2}}x}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

prime coordinates are the ones from the rocket reference frame and unprimed variables are from the Earth's reference frame. Since we want position x and time t in the Earth's frame we need the inverse Lorentz transformation. This can be obtained by replacing v by -v and swapping primed an unprimed variables in the first set of equations

                       x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                           y=y'

                           z=z'

                        t=\frac{t'+\frac{v}{c^{2}}x'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

First we calculate the expression in the denominator

                            \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}=\frac{(0,70)^{2}c^{2}}{c^{2}} =(0,70)^{2}

                                \sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}} =0,714

then we calculate t

                      t=\frac{t'+\frac{v}{c^{2}}x'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                      t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c}{c^{2}}.3,4x10^{10}m}{0,714}

                      t=\frac{190s+\frac{0,70c .3,4x10^{10}m}{299792458\frac{m}{s}}}{0,714}

                      t=\frac{190s+79,388s}{0,714}

finally we get that

                                     t=377,29s

then we calculate x

                         x=\frac{x'+vt'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

                         x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70c.190s}{0,714}}

                         x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+0,70.299792458\frac{m}{s}.190s}{0,714}}

                         x=\frac{3,4x10^{10}m+39872396914m}{0,714}}

                         x=\frac{73872396914m}{0,714}}

                         x=103462740775,91m

finally we get that

                                     x \approx 103,46x10^{9} m

An object is placed 5.00 cm beyond the focal point of a convex lens whose focal length is 10.0 cm. If the object height is 3.0 c
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The height of the image is, h' = 6.0 cm

The image is erect.

Explanation:

Given data,

The object distance, u = -5 cm

The focal length of convex lens, f = 10 cm

The object height, h = 3 cm

The lens formula,

                      \frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}

                      \frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{-5}

                      \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{10}-\frac{1}{5}

                      v = -10 cm

The magnification factor of lens

                     m=\frac{-10}{-5}

                     m = 2

                     m=\frac{h'}{h}

                     h'=h\times m

                     h'=3\times 2

                     h' = 6 cm

The height of the image is, h' = 6 cm

The image is erect.

In an emergency an airplane needs to land on a short runway at Albany County Airport. The plane comes in for a landing with a sp
zvonat [6]

Answer:

t = 13.43 s

Explanation:

In order to find the minimum time required by the plane to stop, we will use the first equation of motion. The first equation of motion is written as follows:

Vf = Vi + at

where,

Vf = Final Velocity of the Plane = 0 m/s (Since, the plane finally stops)

Vi = Initial Velocity of the Plane = 95 m/s

a = deceleration of the plane = - 7.07 m/s²

t = minimum time interval needed to stop the plane = ?

Therefore,

0 m/s = 95 m/s + (- 7.07 m/s²)t

t = (95 m/s)/(7.07 m/s²)

<u>t = 13.43 s</u>
