Chapter 2: Q74E (page 67)

A typical household uses 500 kWh of energy in I month. How much mass is convened to produce this energy?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The mass to produce energy for household consumption is 2×10-8kg.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The energy consumption of household is E=500kWh

02

Energy Consumption

The energy used by all the electrical appliances of house hold in a month for working hour is electrical consumption. This energy is equated to rest energy of mass used.

03

Determination of mass to produce energy for household consumption

The mass to produce energy for household consumption is given as:

E=Δmc2Δm=Ec2

Here, c is the speed of light and its value is 3×108m/s,

Substitute all the values in the equation.

Δm=500kWh103J/s1kW3600s1h3×108m/s2Δm=2×10-8kg

Therefore, the mass to produce energy for household consumption is 2×10-8kg.

An object of mass 3mo moves to the right at 0.8c.

a) Calculate its momentum and energy.

b) Using the relativistic velocity transformation, determine its velocity in a new frame of reference moving it to right at 0.5c, then using it to determine the object's momentum and energy in this new frame.

c) Verify that equations role="math" localid="1657556434416" (2-38) are satisfied.

According Anna, on Earth, Bob is on a spaceship moving at 0.8c toward Earth, and Carl, a little farther out. is on a spaceship moving at 0.9c toward Earth. (a) According to Bob, how fast and in what direction is Carl moving relative to himself (Bob)? (b) According to Bob, how fast is Carl moving relative to Earth?

From the Lorentz transformation equations, show that if time intervals between two events,∆t and∆t' , in two frames are of opposite sign, then the events are too far apart in either frame for light to travel from one to the other. Argue that therefore they cannot be casually related.

Appearing in the time-dilation and length-contraction formulas, γv , is a reasonable measure of the size of relativistic effects. Roughly speaking, at what speed would observations deviate from classical expectations by 1 %?

In a television picture tube, a beam of electrons is sent from the back to the front (screen) by an electron gun. When an electron strikes the screen, il causes a phosphor to glow briefly. To produce an image across the entire screen. the beam is electrically deflected up and down and left and right. The beam may sweep from left to right at a speed greater than c. Why is this not a violation of the claim that no information may travel faster than the speed of light?
