Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the person, v = 3 mile/hr = 1.34 m/s

Speed of the truck, v' = 65 mile/hr = 29.05 m/s

(a) Since, \beta =\dfrac{v}{c}

For the person, \beta =\dfrac{1.34}{3\times 10^8}=4.47\times 10^{-9}    

For the truck, \beta =\dfrac{29.05}{3\times 10^8}=9.68\times 10^{-8}

(b) The relativistic factor is given by :

\gamma=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1-\beta^2}}

For very small velocity, \beta

\gamma=(1-\beta ^2)^{-1/2}\approx 1+\dfrac{1}{2}\beta ^2

\gamma-1=\dfrac{\beta^2}{2}

For the person :

\gamma-1=\dfrac{(4.47\times 10^{-9})^2}{2}=9.99\times 10^{-18}

For the person :

\gamma-1=\dfrac{(9.68\times 10^{-8})^2}{2}=4.68\times 10^{-15}

Hence, this is the required solution.

kramer

Explanation:

The gravitational force equation is the following:

F_G = G * \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} \\

Where:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67408 * 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}

m1 & m2 = the mass of two related objects

r = distance between the two related objects

The problem gives you everything you need to plug into the formula, except for the gravitational constant. Let me know if you need further clarification.

A very long solid insulating cylinder has radius R = 0.1 m and uniform charge density rho0= 10-3 C/m3. Find the electric field a
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

E   = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r   \   \ N/c

Explanation:

Given that:

\rho_o = (10^{-3} ) \ c/m^3

R = (0.1) m

To find  the electric field for r < R by using Gauss Law

{\oint}E^{\to}* da^{\to} = \dfrac{Q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_o} --- (1)

For r < R

Q_{enclosed}=(\rho) ( \pi r^2 ) l

E*(2 \pi rl)= \dfrac{\rho ( \pi r ^2 l)}{\varepsilon_o}

E= \dfrac{\rho ( r)}{2 \varepsilon_o}

where;

\varepsilon_o = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E   = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r   \   \ N/c

A negative charge of 20 x 10-6C and another charge of 15 x 10-6C are separated by as distance of 0.7 m.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Approximately 5.5\; \rm N, assuming that the volume of these two charged objects is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume that the dimensions of these two charged objects is much smaller than the distance between them. Hence, Coulomb's Law would give a good estimate of the electrostatic force between these two objects regardless of their exact shapes.

Let q_1 and q_2 denote the magnitude of two point charges (where the volume of both charged object is negligible.) In this question, q_1 = 20 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C  and q_2 = 15 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C.

Let r denote the distance between these two point charges. In this question, r = 0.7\; \rm m.

Let k denote the Coulomb constant. In standard units, k \approx 8.98755\times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2}.

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force (electric force) between these two point charges would be:

\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}.

Substitute in the values and evaluate:

\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\\ &\approx 8.98755 \times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2} \\ &\quad \times 20\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C\\ &\quad \times 15\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C \\ &\quad \times \frac{1}{{(0.7\; \rm m)}^{2}}\\ &\approx 5.5\; \rm N \end{aligned}.

If a particle undergoes shm with amplitude 0.21 m, what is the total distance it travels in one period?
Ymorist [56]
If a particle undergoes simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 0.21 meters, this means that the maximum displacement of the particle from its resting position is 0.21. For one period, it traveled from its starting position which is twice the amplitude and then back to its original position which is another distance that is twice the amplitude as well. Therefore, the total distance it traveled is 2*amplitude + 2*amplitude = 2*0.21 + 2*0.21 = 0.42 + 0.42 = 0.84 meters.
