1 Review Spring Semester 2014 Physics for Scientists & Engineers 2 1

2 Notes! Homework set 13 extended to Tuesday, 4/22! Remember to fill out SIRS form: Physics for Scientists & Engineers 2 2

3 Homework hints I! Particle track detectors are used to measure the speed of particles if the lifetime of the particle is known. Particle X has a lifetime of ps. These particles are created in an experiment inside the detector by a given reaction. The particles leave 13.2 cm long tracks on average before they decay into other particles not observable by the detector. What is the average speed of the particles in terms of the speed of light?! Answer: relativistic particle! Lifetime is always given in restframe of the particle! Lifetime in detector frame: t = γt 0! Distance: l = v t = vγt 0! Solve for v Physics for Scientists & Engineers 2 3

4 Homework hints II! How much energy is required to accelerate a spaceship with a rest mass of 113 metric tons to a speed of c?! Work = kinetic energy K = (γ-1)mc E21 J! Every day our Earth receives J energy from the Sun. If we were able to use 0.85 percent of this energy to accelerate spaceships, then how many missions would be possible in one year?! 1.55E22 J per day is 5.66E24 J per year! 0.85% is of J = 4.81E22 J = 48.1E21 J! Number of missions: 48.1/1.89 = 25.4! 25 complete missions are possible.! For more hints, see Physics for Scientists & Engineers 2 4

An object becomes charged by adding or removing electrons.! An electron carries negative charge of magnitude e = C.! Law of Charges Like charges repel and opposite charges attract.! Law of charge conservation The total charge of an isolated system is strictly conserved.! Conductors are materials where some of the electrons can move freely.!
