Work out the following a) Find β = v/c for a person walking at 3 mile/hr and a truck moving at 65 mile/hr. (b) Find γ-1, where γ

¡s the relativistic factor γ 1/ VI-B" for the velocities in (a). You should expand γusing the small velocity approximation to get the best results

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.

2. Three super strong teenagers pull a heavy crate across the floor. Dion pulls with a force of 18.5 N towards 0°. Shirley pulls
kogti [31]

Answer:

A) The resultant force is 43.4 [N]

B) The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis

Explanation:

We need to make a sketch of the different forces acting on the heavy crate.

In the attached image we can see the forces and the sum of the vector with their respective angles.

Forces in the X-axis

Fdionx=18.5N\\\\Fshix=16.5*cos(30)=14.29N\\Fjoanx=19.5*cos(60)=9.75N\\\\Forcex= 18.5 + 14.29 + 9.75 = 42.54 N

Forces in the y-axis

FDiony=0[N]\\Fshirley= 16.5*sin(30)=8.25[N]\\Fjoany=19.5*sin(60)=16.88 [N]\\\\Forcesy=0+8.25-16.88= -8.63[N]

Using the Pythagorean theorem

Tforce=\sqrt{(42.54)^{2} +(8.63)^{2} } \\\\Tforce= 43.4N

The movement of the heavy crate is going to the right and in the negative direction on the y-axis, this can be easily seen in the graphical sum of vectors.

What is the magnitude of the sum of the two vectors A = 36 units at 53 degrees, and B =47 units at 157 degrees.
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

51.82

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert both vectors to cartesian coordinates:

Va = 36 < 53° = (36*cos(53), 36*sin(53))

Va = (21.67, 28.75)

Vb = 47 < 157° = (47*cos(157), 47*sin(157))

Vb = (-43.26, 18.36)

The sum of both vectors will be:

Va+Vb = (-21.59, 47.11)   Now we will calculate the module of this vector:

|Va+Vb| = \sqrt{(-21.59)^2+(47.11)^2}=51.82
