A particle zips by us with a Lorentz factor (γ) of 1.12. Then another particle zips by us moving at twice the speed of the first

particle.
a) What is the Lorentz factor (γ) of the second particle?

b) If the particles were moving with a speed much less than c, the magnitude of the
momentum of the second particle would be twice that of the first. However, what is the ratio of the magnitudes of momentum for these relativistic particles?

Answer:

Explanation:

Part A

Lorentz factor = 1/(sqrt(1 - (v/c)^2 ))

1.12 = 1/(sqrt(1 - v^2/c^2))                         square both sides.

1.2544 = 1 / (1 - v^2/c^2)                          Multiply both sides by 1 - v^2/c^2

1.2544 * (1 - v^2/c^2) = 1                         Remove the brackets

1.2544  - 1.2544 v^2 /c^2 = 1                 Multiply c^2 through the entire equation

1.2544*c^2 - 1.2544v^2 = c^2                Subtract 1.2544 c^2 from both sides

-1.2544v^2 = - 0.2544 c^2                     Divide by - 1.2544

v^2 = 0.2544 c^2 /1.2544

v^2 = 0.2028 c

v =  0.4534 * c

v = 1.360 * 10^8

2*v = 2.272 * 10*8

Lorentz Factor = LF = 1/square root( (1 - 2.272* 10^8/3*10^3))

LF = 2.345

Part B

Momentum is mv

I still get two even though the Lorentz factors are different.

When a light bulb is connected to a 4.5 V battery, a current of 0.16 A passes through the bulb filament. What is the resistance
larisa [96]

Answer:

R = 28.125 ohms

Explanation:

Given that,

The voltage of a bulb, V = 4.5 V

Current, I = 0.16 A

We need to find the resistance of the filament. Using Ohm's law,

V = IR

Where

R is the resistance of the filament

So,

R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{4.5}{0.16}\\\\R=28.125\ \Omega

So, the resistance of the filament is equal to 28.125 ohms.

11)A 1100 kg car travels on a straight highway with a speed of 30 m/s. The driver sees a red light ahead and applies her
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Time taken = 8.25 second

Explanation:

Given:

Force = 4000 N

Force = ma

4,000 = (1100)(a)

Acceleration = 3.6363 m/s²

v = u + at

0 = 30 + (3.6363)t

Time taken = 8.25 second
