Albert Einstein is pondering how to write his (soonto-be-famous) equation. He knows that energy E is a function of mass m and the speed of light c, but he doesn't know the functional relationship (E = m2c? E = mc4?). Pretend that Albert knows nothing about dimensional analysis, but since you are taking a fluid mechanics class, you help Albert come up with his equation. Use the step-by-step method of repeating variables to generate a dimensionless relationship between these parameters, showing all of your work. Compare this to Einstein's famous equation—does dimensional analysis give you the correct form of the equation?
The following quotation is taken from the article “Quantum Black Holes”, by Bernard J. Carr and Steven B. Giddings, in the May 2005 issue of Scientific American. "The total time for a black hole to evaporate away is proportional to the cube of its initial mass. For a solar-mass hole, the lifetime is an unobservably long 1064 years." a. Recall that the solar mass is 2 × 10³0 kilograms. Write a formula for the lifetime, L, of a black hole as a function of its mass, m. Start by finding the value of the constant k, then write your function using the letter k (rather than its value in scientific notation). For example, for a direct variation you would write “L(m) = km”. k = a × 10¹ where a = L(m) = b. The present age mass = c × 10ª kg, where c = A and b = = of the universe is about 10¹0 years. What would be the mass of a black hole as old as the universe? ID and d = J

A particle has γ=18,399. a) Calculate c-v in m/s. (I would have asked for 1 - v/c, making the answer dimensionless, but the system doesn't seem to take numbers that small. Gamma is chosen to make the particle extremely close to the speed of light.) If your calculator gives problems, you might want to solve the appropriate equation for c-v or c(1 - v/c) and use an approximation. b) In a race to the moon, by 3/4ths the distance, light is one or ten meters ahead of the particle. We routinely approximate mass as zero, gamma as infinite, and speed as the speed of light. ("Massless particles" -- gamma and m have to be eliminated from the expressions. Light is a true massless particle.) If a massless particle has momentum 1,739 MeV/c, calculate its energy in MeV. Thank you so much!!
