55.a) v of ball= 300-20= 280 m/s Speed of light= 3*10^8 m/s b) I would not expect my watch to be affected by the time dilation because the plane does not move fast enough. The watch would not be able to pick up on a small change in time dilation. 56.

No, because the time dilation A will be ahead of B.
b) Δt’= Δt/√(1-v^2/c^2) = Δt/√(1-100^2/7.0*10^8^2) = Δt/0.9999, very little difference
If c= 2v
Δt’= Δt/√(1-100^2/200^2) = Δt/√0.75 = Δt/ 0.966; a greater difference of about 13%
Therefore if the light was twice the speed of the satellite it would increase the magnitude by which time is dilated and Δt’ would be a larger number resulting in “slower time”.

57. a) lifetime= 2.20*10^-6 v= 0.99c Δ t= Δt˳ / ( 1-v^2/c^2)^1/2
Δ t= 2.2*10^-6 / ( 1-0.99^2)^1/2
Δt = 1.6*10^-5

D= vΔt= 0.99(3*10^8 m/s) ( 1.6*10^-6 s)
D= 4752 m
Therefore, it travels 4752 m before decaying.
b) Δ t earth = 4752/ 0.99*3*10^8 = 1.6*10^-5 s = 16.0 µs = 1.6*10^-5 s
c) Δ t muons= Δ t earth/ γ = 16/7.09 = 2.25 µs dM= v (Δ tp) = v Δ t earth/ γ = 0.99*16/7.09 =2.23 m
d) This is supportive evidence for the theory of relativity as it shows that when an object reaches the speed of light time dilation is effective.
58) Length of spaceship A = 60.0 m Length of spaceship B= 120.0 m Mass of A = 15000 kg Speed of spaceship A= 0.70 c
a) Lm= Ls √(1-v^2/c^2)
Lm= 60 (√(1-(0.70c)^2/c^2)
Lm=42.8 m
Therefore the rocket is 42.8 m long.
b) 1/ v (1-(0.7)^2) = 1.4
1.4*2= 2.8 v =√1-1/2.8^2 *c = 0.93c
Therefore the speed is 0.93 c.

c) Mm=ms/√(1-v^2/c^2) = 15000 kg/ √(1-(0.70c)^2/c^2) = 21004.2 kg
59) 30 days* 24h/day* 3600s/h=2592000s
ΔE= p Δt
ΔE= (2.00*10^9 W) (2592000s)
ΔE = 7.77*10^15 J

ΔE = Δmc^2
7.77*10^15= Δm (3.00*10^8)^2
Δm= 8.63*10^-2 kg
Therefore, 8.63*10^-2 kg is how much mass the plant converts into energy in one month.
60) a) E total= mc^2 /√(1-v^2/c^2)
E total= (1.67*10^-27 kg) (3.00*10^8 m/s)^2/√(1- 0.99980001)
E total= 1.07*10^-8 J

E total= E rest+ Ek
Ek= E total – E rest
Ek= mc^2 /√(1-v^2/c^2)- mc^2
Ek= 1.07*10^-8 J – (1.67*10^-27 kg) (3.00*10^8 m/s)^2
Ek= 1.05 *10^-8 J

b) E total= E rest + Ek 1.07*10^-8 J = E rest + 1.05*10^-8 J
E rest = 1.07*10^-8 J - 1.05*10^-8 J
E rest = 2.0 *10^-10 J
c) No, the particle accelerator will never be able to accelerate any particle to the speed of light because the closer it gets to that speed it’ll need more energy to keep moving up to it; kinetic energy is greater hence, it’s difficult to accelerate.
61. a) E= hc/ λ E= (6.63*10^-34 Js) (3.00 * 10^8 m/s) / 5.90* 10^-7 m E= 3.37* 10^-19 J
Therefore, the energy of a quantum of light with a wavelength of 590 nm is 3.37*10^-19 J. b) 3.0 eV* 1.6*10^-19= 6.0*10^-19
Therefore, the color of light will not be able to produce photoelectrons from the surface of the metal as the work function (6.0*10^-19 J) is greater then the energy obtained (3.37*10^-19 J).
62) W= 1.5eV * 1.60*10^-19 J/eV W= 2.3*10^-19 J 630/10^9= λ λv= c 6.3*10^-7 * v= 3.00*10^8 v = 4.76*10^-14 Hz E k= hf-w E k= (6.63*10^-34 Js) (4.76*10^14 Hz) – 2.4*10^-19J) E k = 7.5*10^-18 J Therefore, the

A New Ideas For Understanding The Earliest Eras In The History Of The Universe

A new paradigm for understanding the earliest eras in the history of the universe has been developed by scientists at Penn State University. Using techniques from an area of modern physics called loop quantum cosmology, developed at Penn State, the scientists now have extended analyses that include quantum physics farther back in time than ever before—all the way to the beginning. The new paradigm of loop quantum origins shows, for the first time, that the large-scale structures we now see in the…

Besides going to Cambridge, England where she stayed for one term to learn english most of her education was gained at Göttingen. Shortly after choosing her career choice she decided that mathematics was not the thing for her, and that’s when she discovered she really enjoyed physics.

Essay about Quantum Mechanics

Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics, or quantum theory) is a fundamental branch of physics which deals with physical phenomena atnanoscopic scales, where the action is on the order of the Planck constant. The name derives from the observation that some physical quantities can change only indiscrete amounts (Latin quanta), and not in a continuous (cf. analog) way. It departs from classical mechanics primarily at the quantum realm of atomic andsubatomic length scales. Quantum mechanics…
