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.

You are working at a company that manufactures electri- cal wire. Gold is the most ductile of all metals: it can be stretched in

Alona [7]

Explanation:

We know that the relation between volume and density is as follows.

Volume = $\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}}$

So, V = $\frac{10^{-3}}{19.3 \times 10^{3} kg/m^{3}}$

= $5.181 \times 10^{-8} m^{3}$

Now, we will calculate the area as follows.

Area = $\frac{\text{volume}}{\text{length}}$

= $\frac{5.181 \times 10^{-8} m^{3}}{2.4 \times 10^{3}}$

= $2.15 \times 10^{-11} m^{2}$

Formula to calculate the resistance is as follows.

R = $\rho \frac{l}{A}$

= $\frac{2.44 \times 10^{-8} \times 2400}{}2.15 \times 10^{-11}}$

= $2.71 \times 10^{6} ohm$

Thus, we can conclude that the resistance of given wire is $2.71 \times 10^{6} ohm$ .

Is (2, 2) a solution of y < 4x-6<br> Help

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

B) No.

Explanation:

Okay,so,

this is equation is y=mx +b

mx represents the slope

and b represents the y-intercept

in order to figure this out you need to plot the y-intercept first

that makes its (0,-6) because the 6 is negative in the equation

4x is also equal to 4/1 since we dont know what x is

we have to do rise over run for this

you go up 4 spots on the y intercept from -6 because 4 is positive

then you go to the right 1 time because 1 is positive.

this leaves you at (1,-2)

so, (2,2) is NOT a solution

Two transverse waves travel along the same taut string. Wave 1 is described by y1(x, t) = A sin(kx - ωt), while wave 2 is descri

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

6) Wave 1 travels in the positive x-direction, while wave 2 travels in the negative x-direction.

Explanation:

What matters is the part $kx \pm \omega t$ , the other parts of the equation don't affect time and space variations. We know that when the sign is - the wave propagates to the positive direction while when the sign is + the wave propagates to the negative direction, but <em>here is an explanation</em> of this:

For both cases, + and -, after a certain time $\delta t$ ( $\delta t >0$ ), the displacement <em>y</em> of the wave will be determined by the $kx\pm\omega (t+\delta t)$ term. For simplicity, if we imagine we are looking at the origin (x=0), this will be simply $\pm \omega (t+\delta t)$ .

To know which side, right or left of the origin, would go through the origin after a time $\delta t$ (and thus know the direction of propagation) we have to see how we can achieve that same displacement <em>y</em> not by a time variation but by a space variation $\delta x$ (we would be looking where in space is what we would have in the future in time). The term would be then $k(x+\delta x)\pm\omega t$ , which at the origin is $k \delta x \pm \omega t$ . This would mean that, when the original equation has $kx+\omega t$ , we must have that $\delta x>0$ for $k\delta x+\omega t$ to be equal to $kx+\omega\delta t$ , and when the original equation has $kx-\omega t$ , we must have that $\delta x$ for $k\delta x-\omega t$ to be equal to $kx-\omega \delta t$

<em>Note that their values don't matter, although they are a very small variation (we have to be careful since all this is inside a sin function), what matters is if they are positive or negative and as such what is possible or not .</em>

<em />

In conclusion, when $kx+\omega t$ , the part of the wave on the positive side ( $\delta x>0$ ) is the one that will go through the origin, so the wave is going in the negative direction, and viceversa.

All objects, regardless of their mass, fall with the same rate of acceleration on

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

A -TRUE

Explanation:

The mass, size, and shape of the object are not a factor in describing the motion of the object. So all objects, regardless of size or shape or weight, free fall with the same acceleration.
