Chapter 36: Q. 66 (page 1062)

At what speed, as a fraction of c, is the kinetic energy of a particle twice its Newtonian value?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed will be0.78c.

Step by step solution

01

Given information,

We have given, the relativistic kinetic energy of a particle is equal to twice its Newtonian value of kinetic energy.

We have to find the speed of the particle.

02

Simplify 

Since,

K.ER=K.ENmc21-v2c2-mc2=12mv22c2(1-1-v2c2)=v21-v2c21-v2c2=c2v2+c2v=2.35脳108m/sv=0.78c.

A distant quasar is found to be moving away from the earth at 0.80c. A galaxy closer to the earth and along the same line of sight is moving away from us at 0.20c. What is the recessional speed of the quasar, as a fraction of c, as measured by astronomers in the other galaxy?

The nuclear reaction that powers the sun is the fusion of four protons into a helium nucleus. The process involves several steps, but the net reaction is simply 4p鈫�He4+Energy. The mass of a proton, to four significant figures, is 1.673脳10-27kg, and the mass of a helium nucleus is known to be 6.644脳10-27kg.

a. How much energy is released in each fusion?

b. What fraction of the initial rest mass energy is this energy?
