- The kinetic energy K of an object of mass m moving with speed v is given by the formula K = mv2. The SI unit of kinetic energy is the joule, J. Use this formula to express the joule in terms of the fundamental SI quantities of mass, length, and time.arrow_forwardA typical reaction time to get your foot on the brake in your car is 0.2 seconds.

- 1. For centuries, we accpeted Newton's 2nd Law as the standard model for motion. Then Einstien came along and siggested a modification in cases of high velocity. The Lorenz factor: γ(v)=(1/square-root of 1−(v^2/c^2)) a) The constant (c) is the speed of light, which is 3 * 10^8 m/s. What is the lim as v approaches 400 γ(v)? You will have to track many decimal places to see a difference from 1. A bullet travels 400 m/s; this limit indicates that time dilation is extremely small (and basically negigible) at that speed. b) In the movie Interstellar, time dialation occurs as 1 hour on the water planet corresponds to 7 years on earth. What is the factor γ in this case (what is the ratio of 7 years to 1 hour)? c) If we rearrange the equation for γ and solve for v, we get: v = c square-root of (γ^2 - 1/γ^2) What velocity v is necesary to get the γ you found in part (b)? d) What is the lim as v approaches c γ(v) ?…arrow_forwardhelp with physics question 19, please.

- A bicyclist started out traveling with a velocity of 2020 miles per hour. After 1515 minutes had passed, the bicyclist was traveling with a velocity of 2323 miles per hour. The formula for finding the acceleration of an object is change in velocitychange in time.change in velocitychange in time. What is the correct way to analyze the units for this situation? A.Convert the units for the given time from minutes to hours, so that the units for the change in velocity are mileshourmileshour and the units for the change in time are hours. When simplifying the fraction, the units become mileshour2.mileshour2.

Keep four significant digits.arrow_forwardSuppose you are driving your car on a business trip and are traveling at 30 m/s. Your boss, who is waiting at your destination, expects the trip to take 5.0 h. When you arrive late, your excuse is that the clock in your car registered the passage of 5.0 h but that you were driving fast and so your clock ran more slowly than the clock in your boss’s office. If your car clock actually did indicate a 5.0-h trip, how much time passed on your boss’s clock, which was at rest on the Earth?arrow_forwardThe speed of light is 2.998*10^8 m/s. How far does light travel in 7.0 μs ? Set the math up. But don't do any of it. Just leave your answer as a math expression. Also, be sure your answer includes all the correct unit symbols.arrow_forward
