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.

Enter the following expression in the answer box below: 2gλ3m−−−−√, where λ is the lowercase Greek letter lambda.
atroni [7]

Answer:

  \sqrt{\dfrac{2g\lambda^3}{m}}

Explanation:

We can write the expression here, but the point of the problem seems to be to see if you can manipulate the controls on the answer box to reproduce that expression.

  \boxed{\sqrt{\dfrac{2g\lambda^3}{m}}}

The magnetic field at point P due to a 2.0-A current flowing in a long, straight, thin wire is 8.0 μT. How far is point P from t
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

r = 0.05 m = 5 cm

Explanation:

Applying ampere's law to the wire, we get:

B = \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi r}\\\\r =  \frac{\mu_oI}{2\pi B}

where,

r = distance of point P from wire = ?

μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π x 10⁻⁷ N/A²

I = current = 2 A

B = Magnetic Field = 8 μT = 8 x 10⁻⁶ T

Therefore,

r = \frac{(4\pi\ x\ 10^{-7}\ N/A^2)(2\ A)}{2\pi(8\ x\ 10^{-6}\ T)}\\\\

<u>r = 0.05 m = 5 cm</u>

During a demonstration of the gravitational force on falling objects to her class, Sarah drops an 11 lb. bowling ball from the t
leonid [27]

The instant it was dropped, the ball had zero speed.

After falling for 1 second, its speed was 9.8 m/s straight down (gravity).

Its AVERAGE speed for that 1 second was (1/2) (0 + 9.8) = 4.9 m/s.

Falling for 1 second at an average speed of 4.9 m/s, is covered <em>4.9 meters</em>.

ANYTHING you drop does that, if air resistance doesn't hold it back.

A small plane flies at a speed of 102 km/h in still air. Suppose the wind blows out from the west (with the air moving east) at
Semmy [17]

Answer:

2.68 hours

Explanation:

A.) Suppose the wind blows out from the west (with the air moving east). The pilot should then head her plane to northwest direction to move directly north.

B.) Given that plane flies at a speed of 102 km/h in still air. And the wind blows out from the west (with the air moving east) at a speed of 46 km/h.

The plan resultant speed can be calculated by using pythagorean theorem.

Resultant Speed = Sqrt( 102^2 + 46^2 )

Resultant Speed = Sqrt( 12520)

Resultant speed = 111.89 km/h

From the definition of speed,

Speed = distance/time

Where distance = 300 km

Substitute the resultant speed and the distance into the formula.

111.89 = 300/time

Time = 300/111.89

Time = 2.68 hours

Therefore, it take her 2.68 hours to reach a point 300 km directly north of her srarting point
