    What Is the Velocity of Particles After Decay?

    1.) A particle with mass M initially at rest decays into two identical particles each of mass 0.48M, the speed of the identical particles after the decay is : after decaying , the sum of two mass doesn't equal to initial mass... can somebody help me how to solve this qusiton...

    Can Relativity Explain the Changing Size of Babylon 5 Space Station?

    Homework Statement A Vorlon vessel traveling at a speed of 0.975c passes by the Babylon 5 space station( engineers that designed the station quote its length at 8.0645km). A Starfury is released from the space station moving with a speed of 0.2c towards the incoming Vorlon vessel. What...

    A question about sepcial relativity

    An astronaut traveling on the Helios satellite (the fastest human made craft) goes on a trip to Jupiter and back in 75 days as measured by an observer on the Earth. If the average speed of the satellite is a quarter of a million km/h with respect to the Earth , what is the time difference ( in...

    How Is Heat Distribution Calculated in a Diatomic Ideal Gas Expansion?

    Homework Statement A diatomic ideal gas expands at constant pressure. What percentage of the heat supplied to the gas is used to increase the internal energy of the gas? what percentage is used to do expansion work? i know Q=CnT, and in the diatomic ideal gas, C_p= \frac{7}{2} R. but i...

    Solving Sin and Tan Inequalities: Simple Methods for x > 0 and x in (0, Pi/2)

    i am trying to figure out 2 quesitons below: (a) sin x < x, for all x > 0; (b) x < tan x, for all x 2 (0;Pi/2). at the first, i solved by the graph, but it seemed too tedious. can someone tell me how to solve them in kinda simple ways thx
