a) $\beta = 1.111\times 10^{-7}$ , b) $\beta = 9\times 10^{-7}$ , c) $\beta = 3.087\times 10^{-6}$ , d) $\beta = 2.5\times 10^{-5}$ , e) $\beta = 0.5$ , f) $\beta = 0.877$

Explanation:

From relativist physics we know that is the symbol for the speed of light, which equal to approximately 300000 kilometers per second. (300000000 meters per second).

a) A car traveling 120 kilometers per hour:

At first we convert the car speed into meters per second:

$v = \left(120\,\frac{km}{h} \right)\times \left(1000\,\frac{m}{km} \right)\times \left(\frac{1}{3600}\,\frac{h}{s} \right)$

$v = 33.333\,\frac{m}{s}$

The ratio $\beta$ is now calculated: ( $v = 33.333\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $c = 3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}$ )

$\beta = \frac{33.333\,\frac{m}{s} }{3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$\beta = 1.111\times 10^{-7}$

b) A commercial jet airliner traveling 270 meters per second:

The ratio $\beta$ is now calculated: ( $v = 270\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $c = 3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}$ )

$\beta = \frac{270\,\frac{m}{s} }{3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$\beta = 9\times 10^{-7}$

c) A supersonic airplane traveling Mach 2.7:

At first we get the speed of the supersonic airplane from Mach's formula:

$v = Ma\cdot v_{s}$

Where:

- Mach number, dimensionless.

$v_{s}$ - Speed of sound in air, measured in meters per second.

If we know that Ma = 2.7 and $v_{s} = 343\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then the speed of the supersonic airplane is:

$v = 2.7\cdot \left(343\,\frac{m}{s} \right)$

$v = 926.1\,\frac{m}{s}$

The ratio $\beta$ is now calculated: ( $v = 926.1\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $c = 3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}$ )

$\beta = \frac{926.1\,\frac{m}{s} }{3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$\beta = 3.087\times 10^{-6}$

d) The space shuttle, travelling 27000 kilometers per hour:

At first we convert the space shuttle speed into meters per second:

$v = \left(27000\,\frac{km}{h} \right)\times \left(1000\,\frac{m}{km} \right)\times \left(\frac{1}{3600}\,\frac{h}{s} \right)$

$v = 7500\,\frac{m}{s}$

The ratio $\beta$ is now calculated: ( $v = 7500\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $c = 3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}$ )

$\beta = \frac{7500\,\frac{m}{s} }{3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$\beta = 2.5\times 10^{-5}$

e) An electron traveling 30 centimeters in 2 nanoseconds:

If we assume that electron travels at constant velocity, then speed is obtained as follows:

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

Where:

- Speed, measured in meters per second.

- Travelled distance, measured in meters.

- Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that $d = 0.3\,m$ and $t = 2\times 10^{-9}\,s$ , then speed of the electron is:

$v = \frac{0.3\,m}{2\times 10^{-9}\,s}$

$v = 1.50\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}$

The ratio $\beta$ is now calculated: ( $v = 1.5\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $c = 3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}$ )

$\beta = \frac{1.5\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s} }{3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$\beta = 0.5$

f) A proton traveling across a nucleus (10⁻¹⁴ meters) in 0.38 × 10⁻²² seconds:

If we assume that proton travels at constant velocity, then speed is obtained as follows:

$v = \frac{d}{t}$

Where:

- Speed, measured in meters per second.

- Travelled distance, measured in meters.

- Time, measured in seconds.

If we know that $d = 10^{-14}\,m$ and $t = 0.38\times 10^{-22}\,s$ , then speed of the electron is:

$v = \frac{10^{-14}\,m}{0.38\times 10^{-22}\,s}$

$v = 2.632\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}$

The ratio $\beta$ is now calculated: ( $v = 2.632\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}$ , $c = 3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s}$ )

$\beta = \frac{2.632\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s} }{3\times 10^{8}\,\frac{m}{s} }$

$\beta = 0.877$

Arnold makes a chart to summarize what happens when light interacts with matter and is reflected

Answer from: Quest

myth. it was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. however, scientists have proven this to be a myth. in all animals, including humans, the perception of colour is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors.

Boxing gloves are padded to lessen the force of a blow. (a) calculate the force exerted by a boxing glove on an opponent’s face, if the glove and face compress 7.50 cm during a blow in which the 7.00-kg arm and glove are brought to rest from an initial speed of 10.0 m/s. (b) calculate the force exerted by an identical blow in the gory old days when no gloves were used and the knuckles and face would compress only 2.00 cm. (c) discuss the magnitude of the force with glove on. does it seem high enough to cause damage even though it is lower than the force with no glove?

Isobars are lines of constant or equal pressure on a weather map. they can be used to find areas of low or high pressure over a broad area, and they can tell us how intense the system may be. on weather maps, you may have noticed areas that have a large l or h over a region with lines circling around them. the l stands for low pressure and h stands for high pressure. the lines circling them are isobars. check out the pressure system and isobars over georgia and florida. what is the present weather in this area ? a) clear and sunny b) cold and cloudy c) changing weather d) lots of precipitation
