In an experiment, two protons are shot directly toward each other, each moving at half the speed of light relative to the laboratory. a What speed does one proton measure for the other proton? b What would be the answer to part (a) if we used only nonrelativistic Newtonian mechanics? c What is the kinetic energy of each proton as measured by an observer at rest in the laboratory? d What is the kinetic energy of each proton as measured...

Two objects of masses m and 8m are moving toward each other along the x-axis with...

Two objects of masses m and 8m are moving toward each other along the x-axis with the same initial speed v0 = 525 m/s. The object with mass m is traveling to the left, and the object with mass 8m is traveling to the right. They undergo an elastic glancing collision such that m is moving downward after the collision at a right angle from its initial direction. What is the final speeds of the two objects m and 8m?...

Two trains, each having a speed of 30 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/h flies off the front of one train when they are 67 km apart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train it flies directly back to the first train, and so forth. (We have no idea why a bird would behave in this way.) What is the total distance the...

A beam of protons is moving in the +x direction with a speed of 28.0 km/s through a region in which the electric field is perpendicular to the magnetic field. The beam is not deflected in this region. If the magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.719 T and points in the +z direction, what is the magnitude of the electric field? What is the direction of the electric field? Correct: +y Incorrect +x Incorrect -x Incorrect -y Incorrect -z...

required info: Question 1: Rebel without a cause Two drivers speed head-on toward each other and a collision is bound to occur unless one of them deviates at the last minute. If both deviate, everything is okay (they both win 1). If one deviates and the other does not, then it is a great success for the driver with iron nerves (he wins 2) and a great disgrace for the deviating driver (he loses 1). If both drivers have iron...

Cart 1 amd 2 are now moving toward each other when they collide and stick together. Cart 1 has a mass of 500g (.5kg) and is travelling at a speed of 0.30m/s to the right. Cart 2 has a mass of 350g (.35kg) and is travelling at a speed of 0.55m/s to the left. A) What is their velocity (speed and direction) after the collision? B) What % of the initial KE is lost in the collision? Please show all...

9. An experiment uses microphone moving toward a speaker as a way to measure the speed of sound in different media. In air, the frequency heard by the moving microphone is 20% higher than the frequency of the sound when the microphone is at rest. When the gas in the experimental system is replaced by helium, the frequency heard by the moving microphone is now only 6.8% higher than when the microphone is at rest. Based on this information, what...

Magnetic field of 10T directed vertically upward exerts a force on a particle having a charge of 1C moving toward 37° north of east at a speed of 1m/s.

Magnetic field of 10T directed vertically upward exerts a force on a particle having a charge of 1C moving toward 37° north of east at a speed of 1m/s. The magnitude of the said force must be14N.10N.8N.6N.zero.

. Two masses travel toward each other across a horizontal, frictionless surface. They collide, resulting in 100 Joules of kinetic energy being lost. Below is a list of the known quantities. Mass#1 = 5.00 kg and has an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s to the right and a final velocity of 3.00 m/s to the right. Mass#2 = unknown and has an initial velocity of 4.00 m/s to the left and a final velocity that is unknown. What is the...

Two trains (on separate tracks) travel toward each other, the first at 60.0 km/s and the second at 40.0 km/s. Both turn on their whistle, the first one emitting a frequency of 200 Hz and the second one emitting a frequency of 220 Hz. What frequencies do they each receive if the speed of sound in air is 330 m/s? Hint: Draw a diagram or do this one in steps. Is the source or the observer moving?
