That did answer a lot of questions. Thank you. But where do you derive the equation E=(K|q|)/r? My book says E=(K|q|)/r^2. I tried re-arranging some equations to get your equation, but I can't figure it out. Thanks.

If the Newtonian constant has units G = [N · m2/kg2], the speed of light has units c = [m/s], the mass has units M = [kg] and the SI unit newtons is equivalentto N = [kg · m/s2], what are the units of the relation GM/c3?A. [kg · s]B. [kg · m2/s]C. [m2/s]D. [s]
According to the Theory of Relativity, the length of an object depends on its velocity v with respect to an observer. For an object whose length at rest is 10 m, its observed length L satisfies the equation
c2L2 + 100v2 = 100c2
where c is 300,000 km/s, the speed of light. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) Express L as a function of v and c.L =
10√(c+v)(c−v)c
(b) What is the observed length L of a meteor that is 10 m long at rest and that is traveling past the earth at 20,000 km/s?(c) What is the observed length L of a satellite that is 10 m long at rest and that is traveling at 15,000 km/s?(d) What is the net change in the observed length L of an object whose velocity changes from 15,000 km/s to 20,000 km/s?

- A pirate has buried his treasure on an island with five trees located at the points (30.0 m, 20.0 m), (60.0 m, 80.0 m), (10.0 m, 10.0 m), (40.0 m, 30.0 m), and (70.0 m, 60.0 m), all measured relative to some origin, as shown in Figure P1.69. His ships log instructs you to start at tree A and move toward tree B, but to cover only one-half the distance between A and B. Then move toward tree C, covering one-third the distance between your current location and C. Next move toward tree D, covering one-fourth the distance between where you are and D. Finally move toward tree E, covering one-fifth the distance between you and E, stop, and dig. (a) Assume you have correctly determined the order in which the pirate labeled the trees as A, B, C, D, and E as shown in the figure. What are the coordinates of the point where his treasure is buried? (b) What If? What if you do not really know the way the pirate labeled the trees? What would happen to the answer if you rearranged the order of the trees, for instance, to B (30 m, 20 m), A (60 m, 80 m), E (10 m, 10 m), C (40 m, 30 m), and D (70 m, 60 m)? State reasoning to show that the answer does not depend on the order in which the trees are labeled.

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?arrow_forward
- a)Calculate the interval ∆s2 between two events with coordinates (x1 = 50 m, y1 = 0, z1 = 0,t1 = 1 µs) and (x2 = 120 m, y2 = 0, z2 = 0, t2 = 1.2 µs) in an inertial frame S.b) Now transform the coordinates of the events into the S' frame, which is travelling at 0.6calong the x-axis in a positive direction with respect to the frame S. Hence verify that thespacetime interval is invariant.arrow_forwardI'm not sure how to solve this equation! Also, how can I solve for the f value alone?

(a) Show that the length of the rod as measured by a stationary observer is L = L0[1 (v2/c2)cos2 0]1/2. (b) Show that the angle that the rod makes with the x axis is given by tan = tan 0.
