What are the answer choices, if there are any?
Since the two trains are passing in opposite
directions, so this means that their relative velocities will be the sum of the
two trains that is:
<span>
relative velocity = (13 + 28) = 41m/s</span>
<span>
a. The passengers aboard on train B will see that train A is
moving at 41m/sec due east</span>
<span>b. The passengers aboard on train A will see that
train B is moving at 41m/sec due west</span>
A.) We use the famous equation proposed by Albert Einstein written below:
E = Δmc²
where
E is the energy of the photon
Δm is the mass defect, or the difference of the mass before and after the reaction
c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s
Substituting the value:
E = (1.01m - m)*(3×10⁸ m/s) = 0.01mc² = 3×10⁶ Joules
b) The actual energy may be even greater than 3×10⁶ Joules because some of the energy may have been dissipated. Not all of the energy will be absorbed by the photon. Some energy would be dissipated to the surroundings.
