- Roughly how many times longer than the mean life of an extremely unstable atomic nucleus is the lifetime of a human?arrow_forward1Which of the following was Einstein’s Second Postulate to the Special Theory of Relativity? The laws of physics are the same in all frames of reference that are moving uniformly. The speed of light is constant and is independent of the motion of the source or the observer. A beam of light that traveled parallel to the aether would take longer than the beam that traveled perpendicularly to the aether. Waves had to have some medium to travel through. 2Given the atomic mass of Beryllium-11 is 11.021658 u, what is the nuclear binding energy of Beryllium-11? (mproton = 1.0078251, mneutron = 1.0086649, c2 = 931.5 eV/u) 1004 eV 65 eV 959 eV 63 eV 3According to the Michelson and Morley experiments, which of the following is NOT true? The laws of physics are the same in all frames of reference that are moving uniformly. Waves had to have some medium to travel through. The speed of light is…arrow_forwardWhy do we not observe relativistic effects in our daily lives? O Because motion is relative. O Because you can't go back in time. Because the math is too hard. O We do observe relativistic effects in our daily lives. This is why time sometimes appears to pass more quickly than usual. O Because relativity only effects particles such as electrons & protons. O Because the speeds we move at are much less than the speed of light.arrow_forward
- I asked this question but the answer I got is not an actual answer. I asked if the speed of light is 300000 km/s , how far can light travel in 90 minutes?arrow_forwardA rocket goes from 0 m/s to 40 meters per second squared in 8 s. A) after 41s, what is it's final speed in m/s? B) What length of time has passed for the rocket to reach a speed of 7100 m/s?arrow_forwardA particle has a mass of 1.6E-27kg and a momentum of 2.2E-18 kg.m/s. What is the speed of the particle? Express your answer in units of c, the speed of light. Keep four significant digits.arrow_forward
- In the context of relativity, what is an "event"? Give a specific example of an event and provide the coordinates necessary to specify the event.arrow_forwardDuring an experiment, a signal from a spaceship reached the ground station in five minutes. What was the distance of the spaceship from the ground station? The signal travels at the speed of light, that is, 3 × 108 m/s.arrow_forwardThe great proof of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity was that light is bent by gravity (as it travels through a curved spacetime). Which of these statements is true?? O A light ray is bent the same amount, it doesn't matter how strong the gravity is. O A light ray is bent less by an intense gravitational field. O A light ray is bent more by an intense gravitational field. O Light rays aren't bent.arrow_forward
