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.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Explanation:

heat lost by water will be used to increase the temperature of  ice

heat gained by ice

= mass x specific heat  x rise in temperature

1 x 2090 x t

heat lost by water in cooling to 0° C

= mcΔt  where m is mass of water , s is specific heat of water and Δt is fall in temperature .

= 1 x 2 x 4186  

8372

heat lost = heat gained

1 x 2090 x t  = 8372

t = 4°C

There will be a rise of  4 degree in the temperature of ice.

Does this look like a good circuit diagram?
AnnyKZ [126]

It's hard to tell what's going on down there in the corner with the resistor and the ammeter. There seems to be as many as 3 or 4 wires in and out of the ammeter, which would be wrong. A real ammeter only has two ... one in and one out. (Same for a resistor.)

It's hard to say whether this circuit works, until we can clearly understand how everything is hooked up in that corner of the drawing.
