- Can a particle be in equilibrium in a non-inertial frame?arrow_forwardAn object, with mass m and speed v relative to an observer,explodes into two pieces, one three times as massive as the other;the explosion takes place in deep space. The less massive piecestops relative to the observer. How much kinetic energy is addedto the system during the explosion, as measured in the observer’sreference frame?arrow_forwardThe contraction of the four-momentum with itself is " the energy of the particle at rest." Why is this statement true?arrow_forward
- An unstable nucleus of mass 1.7 x 10-26 kg, initially atrest at the origin of a coordinate system, disintegrates intothree particles. One particle, having a mass of m1 = 5.0 x 10-27 kg, moves in the positive y- direction with speed v 1 =6.0x 106 m/s. Another particle, of mass m2 = 8.4 x 10-27 kg, moves in the positive x - direction with speed v2 = 4.0 x 106 m/s. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of thethird particle.arrow_forwardFind the kinetic energy for two masses, m1=(64±3)Kg and m2=(136±4)Kg, traveling together at a velocity v=(5.0±1.5)m/s. Hint: the equation for kinetic energy is E = 1/2mv^2, where m is the total mass (m1+m2).arrow_forwardAn unstable particle at rest spontaneously breaks into two fragments of unequal mass. The mass of the first fragment is m1 = 2.50 x 10-28 kg, and that of the other is m2 = 1.67 x 10-27 kg. If the speed of m1 is equal to 0.893c after the breakup, where c = 3 x 108 m/s. What is the final speed of m2?arrow_forward
- What will be the change in the particle's momentum between t1 = 1.0 s and t2 = 3.0 s?arrow_forwardSuppose an object of mass m, initially travelling with a velocity v1, collides with an object of mass m initially at rest. Prove that the angle between the velocity vectors of the two objects of the two particles after the collision is 90 degrees.arrow_forwardA mass m, initially moving at speed v in gravity free space, explodes into 2 pieces, one of which is 3 tmes as massive as the other. The less massive piece is found to be at rest after the explosion. How much kinetic energy was added to the system by the explosion in terms of m and v? Please show how (1/6)mv^2 is the answerarrow_forward
- Show that the kinetic energy of a particle of mass m isrelated to the magnitude of the momentum p of that particleby KE = p 2 /2m. (Note: This expression is invalid for particlestraveling at speeds near that of light.)arrow_forwardFind the rest energy, in terajoules, of a 11.7 g piece of chocolate. 1 TJ is equal to 1012 J .arrow_forwardProve that the kinetic energy of an object of mass m and momentum p can be expressed as:arrow_forward
