Astronaut mark uri is space-traveling from planet x to planet y at a speed of relative to the planets, which are at rest relativ

e to each other. when he is precisely halfway between the planets, a distance of 1.0 light-hour from each one as measured in the planet frame, nuclear devices are detonated on both planets. the explosions are simultaneous in mark's frame. what is the difference in the time of arrival of the flashes from the explosions as observed by mark?

<span>From the point of view of the astronaut, he travels between planets with a speed of 0.6c. His distance between the planets is less than the other bodies around him and so by applying Lorentz factor, we have 2*</span>√1-0.6² = 1.6 light hours. On the other hand, from the point of view of the other bodies, time for them is slower. For the bodies, they have to wait for about 1/0.6 = 1.67 light hours while for him it is 1/(0.8) = 1.25 light hours. The remaining distance for the astronaut would be 1.67 - 1.25 = 0.42 light hours. And then, light travels in all frames and so the astronaut will see that the flash from the second planet after 0.42 light hours and from the 1.25 light hours is, 1.25 - 0.42 = 0.83 light hours or 49.8 minutes.

An electron that has a velocity with x component 2.6 × 106 m/s and y component 3.2 × 106 m/s moves through a uniform magnetic fi
elena55 [62]

Answer:

a) \vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k, b) \vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k

Explanation:

a) The magnetic force experimented by a particle has the following vectorial form:

\vec F_{B} = q\cdot \vec v \times \vec B

The charge of the electron is equal to -1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C. Then, cross product can be solved by using determinants:

\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\-4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &-5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}

The magnetic force is:

\vec F_{B} = 8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k

b) The charge of the proton is equal to 1.602\times 10^{-19}\,C. Then, cross product has the following determinant:

\vec F_{B} = \begin{vmatrix}i&j&k\\4.165\times 10^{-13}\, C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &5.126\times 10^{-13}\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} &0\,C\cdot \frac{m}{s} \\0.041\,T&-0.16\,T&0\,T\end{vmatrix}

The magnetic force is:

\vec F_{B} = -8.766\times 10^{-14}\,T\,k

How does the voltage applied to the electric motor affect the coil's number of rotations and its rotational direction
sleet_krkn [62]
Higher voltage means faster rotation.  Changing the voltage polarity changes the direction of the motor.
