At what speed, as a fraction of c, is a particle鈥檚 momentum twice its Newtonian value?
A 1.0 g particle has momentum 400,000 kgm/s. What is the particle鈥檚 speed in m/s?
A typical nuclear power plant generates electricity at the rate of . The efficiency of transforming thermal energy into electrical energy is and the plant runs at full capacity for of the year. (Nuclear power plants are down about of the time for maintenance and refueling.)
a. How much thermal energy does the plant generate in one year?
b. What mass of uranium is transformed into energy in one year?
FIGURE Q36.5 shows Peggy standing at the center of her railroad car as it passes Ryan on the ground. Firecrackers attached to the ends of the car explode. A short time later, the flashes from the two explosions arrive at Peggy at the same time.
a. Were the explosions simultaneous in Peggy鈥檚 reference frame? If not, which exploded first? Explain.
b. Were the explosions simultaneous in Ryan鈥檚 reference frame?
At , a firecracker explodes at in reference frame S. Four seconds later, a second firecracker explodes at . Reference frame S鈥� moves in the x-direction at a speed of . What are the positions and times of these two events in frame S鈥�?
