yes! wow as soon as i wrote that last message i figured it out. I don't know where my head was before... and then I used a - instead of +... gahhh
i'm sorry!
but thank you so much
yes but this is relativistic momentum not p=mv but
p=mv/√(1 - (v2/c2))
and i couldn't solve it for v... is it because I'm crap at math?
can you walk me through how to solve for it? maybe it's more algebra than physics but...
well i got the answer as 1.24 but i had to use a function grapher and play around with the x and y mins and maxes to find what speed gives a momentum of 2.3E10! which was 0.79C
but i still want to know how to do this because there will be a test and i won't have the internet to help me...
Homework Statement
A woman is 2.0 m tall and has a mass of 60 kg. She moves past an observer with the direction of the motion parallel to her height. The observer measures her relativistic momentum to have a magnitude of 2.30x1010 kg·m/s. What does the observer measure for her height?Homework...
