Chapter 36: Q. 8 (page 1059)

Bjorn is standing at x=600m. Firecracker 1explodes at the origin and firecracker2explodes at x=900m. The flashes from both explosions reach Bjorn鈥檚 eye at t=3.0渭s. At what time did each firecracker explode?

Short Answer

Expert verified

We have given that, Bjorn is standing at x=600m.

Firecracker1explodes at the origin and firecracker explodes at x=900m.

The flashes from both explosions reach Bjorn鈥檚 eye at t=3.0渭s.

t2=1.0渭sLight left firecracker 2explode att2=2渭s.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We have given that, Bjorn is standing at x=600m.

Firecracker1explodes at the origin and firecracker explodes at x=900m.

The flashes from both explosions reach Bjorn鈥檚 eye at t=3.0渭s.

02

Simply

Bjorn is 600maway from the source. It takes 2.0渭sfor light to reach Bjorn.

t=600speedoflightt=6003脳108t=2脳10-6st=2渭蝉

This flash arrived at Bjorn at t=2.0渭sleaving firecracker at t1=1.0渭s.

t2=3003脳108t2=10-6t2=1渭s

It takes 1.0渭sfor the flash from Firecracker 2to reach Bjorn.

Light left firecracker 2at t2=1.0渭s.

A cube has a density of 2000kg/m3while at rest in the laboratory. What is the cube鈥檚 density as measured by an experimenter in the laboratory as the cube moves through the laboratory at 90%of the speed of light in a direction perpendicular to one of its faces?

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 Ra226鈫�Rn222+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�)

At what speed, as a fraction of c, must an electron move so that its total energy is 10% more than its rest mass energy?
