Work out the following a) find β = v/c for a person walking at 3 mile/hr and a truck moving at 65 mile/hr. (b) find γ-1, where γ¡s the relativistic factor γ 1/ vi-b" for the velocities in (a). you should expand γusing the small velocity approximation to get the best results

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the person, v = 3 mile/hr = 1.34 m/s

Speed of the truck, v' = 65 mile/hr = 29.05 m/s

(a) Since,

For the person,    

For the truck,

(b) The relativistic factor is given by :

For very small velocity,

For the person :

For the person :

Hence, this is the required solution.

hello there!

your answer is a “generator”

a generator does not create energy but instead it transforms it.

it’s basically a motor working in reverse.

i had this question and the answer was 3.15 miles.

martina travels from school to her mom's office. from there, she walks to school. after school, she walks to the library and then to a friends house before finally ending back at home. find martina's total distance traveled.

a) 0 miles  

b) 0.4 miles  

c) 1 mile  

d) 3.15 miles
