Problem37 48

This document contains calculations using classical and relativistic work-energy theorems to determine the displacement and acceleration of an object with a mass of 2.00 x 10-12 kg that is subjected to a constant force of 4.20 x 104 N. Using the classical theorem, the displacement is calculated to be 1.81 m. Using the relativistic theorem and a speed of 0.920c, the displacement is calculated to be 6.65 m. The acceleration is then calculated using three different velocities (0.100c, 0.462c, and 0.920c), yielding accelerations of 2.07 x 1016 m/s2, 1.46 x 1016 m/s2, and 0.
