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.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The average induced emf in the loop is 0.20 V

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of loop r = \frac{d}{2} = 9.25 \times 10^{-2} m

Magnetic field B = 1.5 T

Change in time \Delta t = 0.20 sec

According to the faraday's law,

Induced emf is given by

    \epsilon = -\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}

Where \phi = magnetic flux

  \phi = BA\cos0                                ( here \theta = 0 )      

Where A = \pi r^{2}

We neglect minus sign because it's shows lenz law

   \epsilon  = \frac{B \pi r^{2}  }{\Delta t}

   \epsilon = \frac{1.5 \times 3.14 \times (9.25 \times 10^{-2} )^{2} }{0.20}

   \epsilon = 0.20 V

Therefore, the average induced emf in the loop is 0.20 V

Let's take two balls, each of radius 0.1 meters and charge them each to 3 microCoulombs. Then, let's put them on a flat surface
salantis [7]

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the electric potential energy of two charges at a distance R as follows.

                   R = 2r

                      = 2 \times 0.1 m

                      = 0.2 m

where,    R = separation between center's of both Q's. Hence, the potential energy will be calculated as follows.

                U = \frac{k \times Q \times Q}{R}

                    = \frac{8.98 \times 10^{9} \times (3 \times 10^{-6} C)^{2}}{0.1}

                    = 0.081 J

As, both the charges are coming towards each other with the same energy so there will occur equal sharing of electric potential energy between these two charges.

Therefore, when these charges touch each other then they used to posses maximum kinetic energy, that is, \frac{U}{2}.

Hence,   K.E = \frac{U}{2}

                     = \frac{0.081}{2}

                     = 0.0405 J

Now, we will calculate the speed of balls as follows.

                 V = \sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times K.E}{m}}

                     = \sqrt{\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 0.0405}{4 kg}}

                     = 0.142 m/s

Therefore, we can conclude that final speed of one of the balls is 0.142 m/s.

6. If a drag racer wins the final round of herrace by going an average speed of 320 m/sin 4.5 seconds, what distance did he cove
Ivan

We want to calculate the distance covered by the drag racer. Recall, the formula for calculating distance is expressed as

Distance = speed x time

From the information given,

speed = 320 m/s

time = 4.5 s

By substituting these values into the formula, we have

Distance = 320 m/s x 4.5s

s cancels out. We are left with m. Thus,

Distance = 1440m

Plz Help me with this
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Cools ; size

Explanation:

The rate at which magma cools determines the size of the crystals in the new rock. Igneous rocks are formed from the cooling and solidification of molten magma which finds its way to the surface or depth of very low pressure beneath the surface. This place or depth of cooling of magma affects the cooling rate and hence the size of the crystals formed. Igneous rocks formed at depths below the surface have more time to cool and allows more time for Crystal growth and hence produce coarse grained crystal grains called Intrusive igneous rocks which have significantly larger crystals than those formed on the surface which cools rapidly and allowing very little time for crystal growth giving rise to the formation of fine grained crystals and are called extrusive igneous rocks.
