a. Derive a velocity transformation equation for uyand uy'. Assume that the reference frames are in the standard orientation with motion parallel to the x- and x鈥-axes.

b. A rocket passes the earth at 0.80c. As it goes by, it launches a projectile at 0.60c perpendicular to the direction of motion. What is the particle鈥檚 speed, as a fraction of c, in the earth鈥檚 reference frame?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The velocity transformation equation are,

uy=uy'(1+ux'vc2)uy'=uy(1-uxvc2)

b. The speed is0.88c.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We have given,

Frame is moving in the along of x- axis and x' axis.

We have to find the their transformation velocity equation in y- axis and y'- axis.

02

Simplify

Let assume an object A which is moving at constant velocity(ux',uy',uz') in the S'-frame. Where s鈥 frame is moving along the x'-axis with constant velocity v.

Let for an small increment in time dt' and in the position along the x'-axis is dx'.

Using Lorentz transformation, we can write,

dt=(dt'+vdx'c2)dx=(dx'+vdt')dy=dy'dz=dz'

Then its velocity will be derivative of the position components,

uy=dydt=dy'(dt'+vdx'c2)

divide by dt'above and below,

uy=dy'dt'(dt'+vdx'c2dt')uy=uy'(1+vux'c2)

Then,

uy'=dy'dt'=dydt-vdx'c2uy'=uy(1-uxvc2)

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

We have given,

Rocket speed= 0.8c

Projectile speed =0.6c

What is the speed of projectile with respect of rest frame.

04

Simplify

From Lorentz transformation we can wrote,

uy=uy'(1+ux'vc2)

Substitute the values

uy=0.6c(1+0vc2)uy=0.6c1-(0.8c)2c2uy=0.36c

and then along the x-axis,

ux=ux'+v(1+ux'vc2)ux=0+v1+0ux=0.8c

Then the total speed observe is,

u=ux'2+uy'2u=(0.36c)2+(0.8c)2u=0.88c

A typical nuclear power plant generates electricity at the rate of 1000MW. The efficiency of transforming thermal energy into electrical energy is 13and the plant runs at full capacity for 80%of the year. (Nuclear power plants are down about 20%of the time for maintenance and refueling.)

b. What mass of uranium is transformed into energy in one year?

A muon travels 60kmthrough the atmosphere at a speed of 0.9997c.According to the muon, how thick is the atmosphere?

The radioactive element radium (Ra) decays by a process known as alpha decay, in which the nucleus emits a helium nucleus. (These high-speed helium nuclei were named alpha particles when radioactivity was first discovered, long before the identity of the particles was established.) The reaction is Ra226Rn222+He4, where Rn is the element radon. The accurately measured atomic masses of the three atoms are 226.0254u, 222.0176u, and 4.0026u. How much energy is released in each decay? (The energy released in radioactive decay is what makes nuclear waste 鈥渉ot.鈥)
