Answer:
The magnitude of the total linear acceleration is 0.27 m/s²
b. 0.27 m/s²
Explanation:
The total linear acceleration is the vector sum of the tangential acceleration and radial acceleration.
The radial acceleration is given by;
[tex]a_t = ar[/tex]
where;
a is the angular acceleration and
r is the radius of the circular path
[tex]a_t = ar\\\\a_t = 1.6 *0.13\\\\a_t = 0.208 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Determine time of the rotation;
[tex]\theta = \frac{1}{2} at^2\\\\0.4 = \frac{1}{2} (1.6)t^2\\\\t^2 = 0.5\\\\t = \sqrt{0.5} \\\\t = 0.707 \ s\\\\[/tex]
Determine angular velocity
ω = at
ω = 1.6 x 0.707
ω = 1.131 rad/s
Now, determine the radial acceleration
[tex]a_r = \omega ^2r\\\\a_r = 1.131^2 (0.13)\\\\a_r = 0.166 \ m/s^2[/tex]
The magnitude of total linear acceleration is given by;
[tex]a = \sqrt{a_t^2 + a_r^2} \\\\a = \sqrt{0.208^2 + 0.166^2} \\\\a = 0.266 \ m/s^2\\\\a = 0.27 \ m/s^2[/tex]
Therefore, the magnitude of the total linear acceleration is 0.27 m/s²
b. 0.27 m/s²
A car travels at 45 km/h. If the driver breaks 0.65 seconds after seeing the traffic light turn yellow, how far will the car continue to travel before it begins to slow?
Answer:
8.1 m
Explanation:
Convert km/h to m/s.
45 km/h × (1000 m/km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 12.5 m/s
Distance = speed × time
d = (12.5 m/s) (0.65 s)
d = 8.125 m
Five wheels are connected as shown in the figure. Find the velocity of the block “Q”, if it is known that: RA= 5 [m], RB= 10 [m], RD= 6 [m], RE=12 [m].
Answer:
-5 m/s
Explanation:
The linear velocity of B is equal and opposite the linear velocity of E.
vB = -vE
vB = -ωE rE
10 m/s = -ωE (12 m)
ωE = -0.833 rad/s
The angular velocity of E is the same as the angular velocity of D.
ωE = ωD
ωD = -0.833 rad/s
The linear velocity of Q is the same as the linear velocity of D.
vQ = vD
vQ = ωD rD
vQ = (-0.833 rad/s) (6 m)
vQ = -5 m/s
The number of daylight hours, D, in the city of Worcester, Massachusetts, where x is the number of days after January 1 (), may be calculated by the function: What is the period of this function? N/A What is the amplitude of this function? 12 What is the horizontal shift? What is the phase shift? What is the vertical shift? How many hours of sunlight will there be on February 21st of any year?
Answer:
a. 365; b. 3; c. 78; d. 1.343 rad; e. 12; f. 10.66
Explanation:
Assume that the function is
[tex]D(x) = 3 \sin \left (\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(x - 78) \right ) + 12[/tex]
The general formula for a sinusoidal function is
y = A sin(B(x - C))+ D
|A| = amplitude
B = frequency
2π/B = period, P
C = horizontal shift (phase shift)
D = vertical shift
By comparing the two formulas, we find
|A| = 3
B = 2π/365
C = 78
D = 12
a. Period
P = 2π/B = 2π/(2π/365) = 2π × 365/2π = 365
The period is 365.
b. Amplitude
|A| = 3
The amplitude is 3.
c. Horizontal shift
C= 78
The horizontal shift is 78.
d. Phase shift (φ)
Ths phase shift is the horizontal shift expressed in radians.
φ = C × 2π/365 = 78 × 2π/365 ≈ 1.343
The phase shift is 1.343 rad.
e. Vertical shift
D = 12
The vertical shift is 12.
f. Hours of sunlight on Feb 21
Feb 21 is the 52nd day of the year, so x = 51 (the number of days after Jan 1),
[tex]\begin{array}{rcl}D(x) &=& 3 \sin \left (\dfrac{2\pi}{365}(x - 78) \right ) + 12\\\\&=& 3 \sin (0.01721(51 - 78) ) + 12\\&=& 3\sin(-0.4648) + 12\\&=& 3(-0.4482) + 12\\\&=& -1.345 + 12\\& = & \textbf{10.66 h}\\\end{array}[/tex]
There will be 10.66 h of sunlight on Feb 21 of any given year.
The figure below shows the graph of the function from 0 ≤ x ≤ 365.
When a mercury thermometer is heated, the mercury expands and rises in the thin tube of glass. What does this indicate about the relative rates of expansion for mercury and glass
Answer:
This means that mercury has a higher or faster expansion rate than glass
Explanation:
This is because When a container expands, the reservoir in the glass expands at the same rate as the glass. Thus, if there is something in a glass and both expand at the same rate, they have no change - but if the contents expand faster, they will fill the container to a higher level, and if the contents expand slower, they will fill the container to a lower level (relative to the new size of the container).
A 750 gram grinding wheel 25.0 cm in diameter is in the shape of a uniform solid disk. (we can ignore the small hole at the center). when it is in use, it turns at a consant 220 rpm about an axle perpendicular to its face through its center. When the power switch is turned off, you observe that the wheel stops in 45.0 s with constant angular acceleration due to friction at the axle. What torque does friction exert while this wheel is slowing down?
Answer:
Torque = 0.012 N.m
Explanation:
We are given;
Mass of wheel;m = 750 g = 0.75 kg
Radius of wheel;r = 25 cm = 0.25 m
Final angular velocity; ω_f = 0
Initial angular velocity; ω_i = 220 rpm
Time taken;t = 45 seconds
Converting 220 rpm to rad/s we have;
220 × 2π/60 = 22π/3 rad/s
Equation of rotational motion is;
ω_f = ω_i + αt
Where α is angular acceleration
Making α the subject, we have;
α = (ω_f - ω_i)/t
α = (0 - 22π/3)/45
α = -0.512 rad/s²
The formula for the Moment of inertia is given as;
I = ½mr²
I = (1/2) × 0.75 × 0.25²
I = 0.0234375 kg.m²
Formula for torque is;
Torque = Iα
For α, we will take the absolute value as the negative sign denotes decrease in acceleration.
Thus;
Torque = 0.0234375 × 0.512
Torque = 0.012 N.m
For exercise, an athlete lifts a barbell that weighs 400 N from the ground to a height of 2.0 m in a time of 1.6 s. Assume the efficiency of the human body is 25%, and that he lifts the barbell at a constant speed. Show all work and include proper unit for your final answer.
a) In applying the energy equation (ΔK + ΔUg + ΔUs + ΔEch + ΔEth = W) to the system consisting of the earth, the barbell, and the athlete,
1. Which terms (if any) are positive?
2. Which terms (if any) are negative?
3. Which terms (if any) are zero?
b) Determine the energy output by the athlete in SI unit.
c) Determine his metabolic power in SI unit.
d) Another day he performs the same task in 1.2 s.
1. Is the metabolic energy that he expends more, less, or the same?
2. Is his metabolic power more, less, or the same?
Answer:
Explanation:
(ΔK + ΔUg + ΔUs + ΔEch + ΔEth = W)
ΔK is increase in kinetic energy . As the athelete is lifting the barbell at constant speed change in kinetic energy is zero .
ΔK = 0
ΔUg is change in potential energy . It will be positive as weight is being lifted so its potential energy is increasing .
ΔUg = positive
ΔUs is change in the potential energy of sportsperson . It is zero since there is no change in the height of athlete .
ΔUs = 0
ΔEth is change in the energy of earth . Here earth is doing negative work . It is so because it is exerting force downwards and displacement is upwards . Hence it is doing negative work . Hence
ΔEth = negative .
b )
work done by athlete
= 400 x 2 = 800 J
energy output = 800 J
c )
It is 25% of metabolic energy output of his body
so metalic energy output of body
= 4x 800 J .
3200 J
power = energy output / time
= 3200 / 1.6
= 2000 W .
d )
1 ) Since he is doing same amount of work , his metabolic energy output is same as that in earlier case .
2 ) Since he is doing the same exercise in less time so his power is increased . Hence in the second day his power is more .
A) Applying the energy equation
The positive terms is : ΔUg The negative terms is : ΔEth The zero term are : ΔK and ΔUsB) The energy output by the athlete is ; 800 Joules
C) The metabolic power is : 2000 w
D) When he performs the task in 1.2 s
The metabolic energy he expends is : the same His metabolic power is : moreGiven data :
Weight of barbell = 400 N
Height = 2.0 m
Time = 1.6 secs
efficiency of the human body = 25%
Speed = constant
A) From the energy equation the ΔK is zero because the athlete is lifting the barbell at a constant speed. ΔUg is positive because as the weight is lifted its potential energy increases. ΔEth ( change in energy of earth ) is negative because it exerts a force in opposite direction to displacement
B) Determine the energy output of the athlete
weight of barbell * Height = 400 * 2 = 800 J
C) Determine the metabolic power
Metabolic power = energy output / Time
where ; energy output = 4 * 800 = 3200
∴ Metabolic power = 3200 / 1.6
= 2000 w
D) When performs same task at 1.2 s
The metabolic energy he expends is the same and His metabolic power is more

An unstable particle at rest spontaneously breaks into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the first fragment is 3.00 10-28 kg, and that of the other is 1.86 10-27 kg. If the lighter fragment has a speed of 0.844c after the breakup, what is the speed of the heavier fragment
Answer: Speed = [tex]3.10^{-31}[/tex] m/s
Explanation: Like in classical physics, when external net force is zero, relativistic momentum is conserved, i.e.:
[tex]p_{f} = p_{i}[/tex]
Relativistic momentum is calculated as:
p = [tex]\frac{mu}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}}{c^{2}} } }[/tex]
where:
m is rest mass
u is velocity relative to an observer
c is light speed, which is constant (c=[tex]3.10^{8}[/tex]m/s)
Initial momentum is zero, then:
[tex]p_{f}[/tex] = 0
[tex]p_{1}-p_{2}[/tex] = 0
[tex]p_{1} = p_{2}[/tex]
To find speed of the heavier fragment:
[tex]\frac{mu_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{c^{2}} } }=\frac{mu_{2}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{2}}{c^{2}} } }[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1.86.10^{-27}u_{1}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } }=1.42.10^{-19}[/tex]
[tex]1.86.10^{-27}u_{1} = 1.42.10^{-19}.{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } }[/tex]
[tex](1.86.10^{-27}u_{1})^{2} = (1.42.10^{-19}.{\sqrt{1-\frac{u^{2}_{1}}{(3.10^{8})^{2}} } })^{2}[/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2} = 2.02.10^{-38}.(1-\frac{u_{1}^{2}}{9.10^{16}} )[/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2} = 2.02.10^{-38} -[2.02.10^{-38}(\frac{u_{1}^{2}}{9.10^{16}} )][/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2} = 2.02.10^{-38} -2.24.10^{-23}.u^{2}_{1}[/tex]
[tex]3.46.10^{-54}.u_{1}^{2}+2.24.10^{-23}.u^{2}_{1} = 2.02.10^{-38}[/tex]
[tex]2.24.10^{-23}.u^{2}_{1} = 2.02.10^{-38}[/tex]
[tex]u^{2}_{1} = \frac{2.02.10^{-38}}{2.24.10^{-23}}[/tex]
[tex]u_{1} = \sqrt{9.02.10^{-62}}[/tex]
[tex]u_{1} = 3.10^{-31}[/tex]
The speed of the heavier fragment is [tex]u_{1} = 3.10^{-31}[/tex]m/s.
The positron has the same mass as an electron, with an electric charge of +e. A positron follows a uniform circular motion of radius 5.03 mm due to the force of a uniform magnetic field of 0.85 T. How many complete revolutions does the positron perform If it spends 2.30 s inside the field? (electron mass = 9.11 x 10-31 kg, electron charge = -1.6 x 10-19 C)
Answer:
5.465 × 10^10 revolutions
Explanation:
Formula for Magnetic Field = m. v/ q . r
M = mass of electron = mass of positron = 9.11 x 10^-31 kg,
radius of the positron = 5.03 mm
We convert to meters.
1000mm = 1m
5.03mm = xm
Cross multiply
x = 5.03/1000mm
x = 0.00503m
q = Electric charge = -1.6 x 10^-19 C
Magnetic field (B) = 0.85 T
Speed of the positron is unknown
0.85 = 9.11 x 10^-31 kg × v/ -1.6 x 10^-19 C × 0.00503
0.85 × 1.6 x 10^-19 C × 0.00503 = 9.11 x 10^-31 kg × v
v = 0.85 × -1.6 x 10^-19 C × 0.00503/9.11 x 10^-31 kg
v = 6.8408 ×10-22/ 9.11 x 10^-31 kg
v = 750911086.72m/s
Formula for complete revolutions =
Speed × time / Circumference
Time = 2.30s
Circumference of the circular path = 2πr
r =0.00503
Circumference = 2 × π × 0.00503
= 0.0316044221
Revolution = 750911086.72 × 2.30/0.0316044221
= 1727095499.5/0.0316044221

an electromagnetic wave propagates in a vacuum in the x-direction. In what direction does the electric field oscilate
Answer:
The electric field can either oscillates in the z-direction, or the y-direction, but must oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are waves that have an oscillating magnetic and electric field, that oscillates perpendicularly to one another. Electromagnetic waves are propagated in a direction perpendicular to both the electric and the magnetic field. If the wave is propagated in the x-direction, then the electric field can either oscillate in the y-direction, or the z-direction but must oscillate perpendicularly to both the the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field, and the direction of propagation of the wave.

or
(CA + CB) T = CATA + CBTB
or
T = (CA TA + CBTB) ÷ (CA + CB)

The given parameters;
heat capacity of object A = CAinitial temperature of object A = TAheat capacity of object B = CBinitial temperature of object B = TBThe final temperature of both objects is calculated as follows;
heat lost by object A is equal to heat gained by object B
[tex]mC_A (T_A - T) = mC_B(T- T_B)\\\\C_AT_A-C_AT = C_BT - C_BT_B\\\\C_BT+C_AT = C_AT_A+ C_BT_B\\\\T(C_B + C_A) = C_AT_A+ C_BT_B \\\\T = \frac{C_AT_A+ C_BT_B}{C_B + C_A} \\\\[/tex]
Thus, the final temperature of both objects is [tex]T = \frac{C_AT_A+ C_BT_B}{C_B + C_A} \\\\[/tex].

From fastest speed to slowest speed, the electromagnetic waves are ranked as(up to down):
d. X-ray
c. Green light
a. Yellow light
f. Infrared wave
b. FM radio wave
e. AM radio wave
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are waves produced as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. The waves have three properties and these properties are frequency, speed and wavelength, which are related by the relationship below
V = Fλ
where:\
V = speed (velocity)
F = frequency
λ = wavelength.
From the relationship above, it is seen that the speed of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency. The higher the frequency, the higher the speed. Therefore, from the list given, the waves with the highest to lowest frequencies/ from left to right are:
X-ray (3×10¹⁹ Hz to 3×10¹⁶Hz), Green light (5.66×10¹⁴Hz), Yellow light (5.17×10¹⁴Hz), Infrared wave (3×10¹¹Hz), FM radio wave (10.8×10⁸Hz to 8.8×10⁷Hz), AM radio wave (1.72 × 10⁶Hz to 5.5×10⁵Hz).
This corresponds to the speed from highest to lowest from left to right.

Answer:
The wave is travelling in the ±z-axis direction.
Explanation:
An electromagnetic wave has an oscillating magnetic and electric field. The electric and magnetic field both oscillate perpendicularly one to the other, and the wave travels perpendicularly to the direction of oscillation of the electric and magnetic field.
In this case, if the magnetic field is in the +x-axis direction, and the electric field is in the +y-axis direction, we can say with all assurance that the wave will be travelling in the ±z-axis direction.
When light of wavelength 233 nm shines on a metal surface the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is 1.98 eV. What is the maximum wavelength (in nm) of light that will produce photoelectrons from this surface
Answer:
λmax = 372 nm
Explanation:
First we find the energy of photon:
E = hc/λ
where,
E = Energy of Photon = ?
λ = Wavelength of Light = 233 nm = 2.33 x 10⁻⁷ m
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
h = Planks Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s
Therefore,
E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.33 x 10⁻⁷ m)
E = 8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric Equation:
E = Work Function + Kinetic Energy
8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = Work Function + (1.98 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)
Work Function = 8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 3.168 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Work Function = 5.332 x 10⁻¹⁹ J
Since, work function is the minimum amount of energy required to emit electron. Therefore:
Work Function = hc/λmax
λmax = hc/Work Function
where,
λmax = maximum wavelength of light that will produce photoelectrons = ?
Therefore,
λmax = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(5.332 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

Krishna and Seldon now try a homework problem. A policeman sitting in his unmarked police car sees an approaching motorcyclist go through a red light two blocks away. He turns on his siren at a frequency of 1000 Hz as the motorcyclist heads directly toward him at 61 mph (27.27 m/s). What frequency does the motorcyclist hear? (Enter your answer to at least the nearest integer. Assume the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.) Hz What frequency does the motorcyclist hear when stopped with the police car approaching at 61 mph (27.27 m/s)? (Enter your answer to at least the nearest integer. Assume the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.) Hz
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply formula of Doppler's effect
Here source is fixed and observer is approaching the source
f = f₀ x [(V + v ) / V ]
f₀ is original and f is apparent frequency , V is velocity of sound and v is velocity of motorcyclist .
f = 1000 x [(331 + 27.27 ) / 331 ]
= 1082 .4 Hz
This is the frequency heard by motorcyclist .
When police car is approaching him when he is stopped
f = f₀ x [V /(V - v ) ]
v is velocity of police car .
= 1000 x 331 / (331 - 27.27)
= 1090 Hz
Light of wavelength 500 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.2 mm apart. If the spacing between the first and third dark fringes is to be 4.0 mm, what is the distance from the slits to a screen?
Answer:
L = 0.8 m
Explanation:
Since, the distance between first and third dark fringes is 4 mm. Therefore, the fringe spacing between consecutive dark fringes will be:
Δx = 4 mm/2 = 2 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m
but,
Δx = λL/d
λ = wavelength of the light = 500 nm = 5 x 10⁻⁷ m
d = slit spacing = 0.2 mm = 0.2 x 10⁻³ m
L = Distance between slits and screen = ?
Therefore, using the values, we get:
2 x 10⁻³ m = (5 x 10⁻⁷ m)(L)/(0.2 x 10⁻³)
L = (2 x 10⁻³ m)(0.2 x 10⁻³ m)/(5 x 10⁻⁷ m)
L = 0.8 m
An intergalactic rock star bangs his drum every 1.30 s. A person on earth measures that the time between beats is 2.50 s. How fast is the rock star moving relative to the earth
Answer:
v = 0.89 c = 2.67 x 10⁸ m/s
Explanation:
The time dilation consequence of the special theory of relativity shall be used here, From time dilation formula we have:
t = t₀/√[1 - v²/c²]
where,
t = time measured by the person on earth = 2.50 s
t₀ = rest time of the intergalactic rock star = 1.30 s
v = relative speed of the rock star = ?
Therefore,
2.5 s = (1.3 s)/√[1 - v²/c²]
√[1 - v²/c²] = 1.3/2.5
√[1 - v²/c²] = 0.52
[1 - v²/c²] = 0.52²
[1 - v²/c²] = 0.2074
v²/c² = 1 - 0.2074
v²/c² = 0.7926
v/c = √0.7926
v = 0.89 c
where,
c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
v = (0.89)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)
v = 0.89 c = 2.67 x 10⁸ m/s
The highest mountain on mars is olympus mons, rising 22000 meters above the martian surface. If we were to throw an object horizontaly off the mountain top, how long would it take to reach the surface? (Ignore atmospheric drag forces and use gMars=3.72m/s^2
a. 2.4 minutes
b. 0.79 minutes
c. 1.8 minutes
d. 3.0 minutes
Answer:
t = 1.81 min , the correct answer is c
Explanation:
This is a missile throwing exercise
The object is thrown horizontally, so its vertical speed is zero (voy = 0), let's use the equation
y = y₀ + [tex]v_{oy}[/tex] t - ½ g t²
the final height is y = 0 and the initial height is y₀ = 22000 m
0 = y₀ + 0 - ½ g t²
t = √y 2y₀ / g
let's calculate
t = √(2 22000 / 3.72)
t = 108.76 s
let's reduce to minutes
t = 108.76 s (1 min / 60 s)
t = 1.81 min
The correct answer is c
If Superman really had x-ray vision at 0.12 nm wavelength and a 4.1 mm pupil diameter, at what maximum altitude could he distinguish villains from heroes, assuming that he needs to resolve points separated by 5.4 cm to do this?
Answer:
Maximum altitude to see(L) = 1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
wavelength (λ) = 0.12 nm = 0.12 × 10⁻⁹ m
Pupil Diameter (d) = 4.1 mm = 4 × 10⁻³ m
Separation distance (D) = 5.4 cm = 0.054 m
Find:
Maximum altitude to see(L)
Computation:
Resolving power = 1.22(λ / d)
D / L = 1.22(λ / d)
0.054 / L = 1.22 [(0.12 × 10⁻⁹) / (4 × 10⁻³ m)]
0.054 / L = 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 0.054 / 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 0.054 / [0.0366 × 10⁻⁶]
L = 1.47 × 10⁶
Maximum altitude to see(L) = 1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)
In a double-slit experiment the distance between slits is 5.0 mm and the slits are 1.4 m from the screen. Two interference patterns can be seen on the screen: one due to light of wavelength 450 nm, and the other due to light of wavelength 590 nm. What is the separation in meters on the screen between the m = 5 bright fringes of the two interference patterns?
Answer:
Δy = 1 10⁻⁴ m
Explanation:
In double-slit experiments the constructive interference pattern is described by the equation
d sin θ = m λ
In this case we have two wavelengths, so two separate patterns are observed, let's use trigonometry to find the angle
tan θ = y / L
as the angles are small,
tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ
substituting
sin θ = y / L
d y / L = m λ
y = m λ / d L
let's apply this formula for each wavelength
λ = 450 nm = 450 10⁻⁹ m
m = 5
d = 5.0 mm = 5.0 10⁻³ m
y₁ = 5 450 10⁻⁹ / (5 10⁻³ 1.4)
y₁ = 3.21 10⁻⁴ m
we repeat the calculation for lam = 590 nm = 590 10⁻⁹ m
y₂ = 5 590 10⁻⁹ / (5 10⁻³ 1.4)
y₂= 4.21 10⁻⁴ m
the separation of these two lines is
Δy = y₂ - y₁
Δy = (4.21 - 3.21) 10⁻⁴ m
Δy = 1 10⁻⁴ m
Suppose you are planning a trip in which a spacecraft is to travel at a constant velocity for exactly six months, as measured by a clock on board the spacecraft, and then return home at the same speed. Upon return, the people on earth will have advanced exactly 120 years into the future. According to special relativity, how fast must you travel
Answer:
I must travel with a speed of 2.97 x 10^8 m/s
Explanation:
Sine the spacecraft flies at the same speed in the to and fro distance of the journey, then the time taken will be 6 months plus 6 months
Time that elapses on the spacecraft = 1 year
On earth the people have advanced 120 yrs
According to relativity, the time contraction on the spacecraft is gotten from
[tex]t[/tex] = [tex]t_{0} /\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }[/tex]
where
[tex]t[/tex] is the time that elapses on the spacecraft = 120 years
[tex]t_{0}[/tex] = time here on Earth = 1 year
[tex]\beta[/tex] is the ratio v/c
where
v is the speed of the spacecraft = ?
c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s
substituting values, we have
120 = 1/[tex]\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }[/tex]
squaring both sides of the equation, we have
14400 = 1/[tex](1 - \beta ^{2} )[/tex]
14400 - 14400[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex] = 1
14400 - 1 = 14400[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex]
14399 = 14400[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex]
[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex] = 14399/14400 = 0.99
[tex]\beta = \sqrt{0.99}[/tex] = 0.99
substitute β = v/c
v/c = 0.99
but c = 3 x 10^8 m/s
v = 0.99c = 0.99 x 3 x 10^8 = 2.97 x 10^8 m/s
The following equation is an example of
decay.
181
185
79
Au →
4
2
He+
Answer:
Alp decay.
Explanation:
From the above equation, the parent nucleus 185 79Au produces a daughter nuclei 181 77 Ir.
A careful observation of the atomic mass of the parent nucleus (185) and the atomic mass of the daughter nuclei (181) shows that the atomic mass of the daughter nuclei decreased by a factor of 4. Also, the atomic number of the daughter nuclei also decreased by a factor of 2 when compared with the parent nucleus as shown in the equation given above.
This simply means that the parent nucleus has undergone alpha decay which is represented with a helium atom as 4 2He.
Therefore, the equation is an example of alpha decay.
