General Physics 2 Quarter 4 - Module 7 Special Relativity: T D VT D 4.36×10 M

This document is a physics assignment containing 4 problems related to special relativity. The first problem asks the student to calculate the length of a rocket ship measured at rest given its length is measured to be 50m while passing at 0.9c. The second problem involves calculating the time elapsed and distance traveled according to Earth clocks for an occupant reading a brochure on a spaceship traveling at 0.85c. The third problem asks the student to compare the relativistic and classical momentums of an electron traveling at 0.88c and 4.5x107 m/s. The fourth problem involves calculating the speed of a proton accelerated to a kinetic energy of 1012 eV given its rest mass.

GENERAL PHYSICS 2

Quarter 4 – Module 7
Special Relativity

Name: Jade C. Delos Santos Week No. 7


Grade and Section: STEM 12-A Date: 06-02-
2022
Subject Teacher: Ms. Jenny V. Castillo Score:

Activity 7.

1. A rocket ship passes you at a speed of 0.90c. A girl measured its length to be
50 m. How long would ta be when at rest?
2. An occupant on a high-speed spaceship traveling between Earth and Mars at a
steady speed of 0.85 c reads a brochure which takes 15.0 min according to her
wristwatch.
a) How long does this take as measured by Earth-based clocks?
t=¿
b) How much farther is the spaceship from Earth at the end of reading the
brochure than it was at the beginning?
d=vt
8
¿( 0.85 c ×3 × 10 ) ×(28.475× 60)
11
d=4.36 ×10 m
3. Compare the relativistic momentum of an electron to its classical momentum
when it has a speed of
(a) 0.88c in an accelerator used for treating cancer and
(b) 4.50 × 107 𝑚/𝑠 in the cathode ray tube of a TV set.
4. An accelerator at a Physics Laboratory can accelerate protons to a Kinetic
energy of 1012 eV. The rest mass of a proton is 𝑚𝑐2 = 9.38 × 108 𝑒𝑉. What is the
speed of that proton?
