- Many expressions in special relativity contain the gamma (y) factor. 1 Y √1-v²/c² In the equation, u is the speed of some object or reference frame and c is the speed of light. Find the numerical value of y for each of the listed speeds. U = 0, 1 Y = V = 0.450c, Y = V = 0.980c, Y = 5.03A free neutron has a mean lifetime of about 14.9 minutes when it is viewed from an inertial reference frame at rest with respect to the neutron. The neutron has a mass of 1.675 x 10^-27 kg.a. If the neutron is traveling at 0.9995 c, what is its lifetime as measured by a lab-based (Earth-based) observer?b. What is the neutron's rest energy in MeV (mega electron-volts)? Conversion: 1 MeV=1.602 x10^-13c. What is the neutron's kinetic energy in MeV when it is traveling at 0.9995c?I tried 1.87 but that is not correct. I am very confused.
- If a m = 81.1 kg person were traveling at v = 0.980c, where c is the speed of light, what would be the ratio of the person's relativistic kinetic energy to the person's classical kinetic energy? kinetic energy ratio: What is the ratio of the person's relativistic momentum to the person's classical momentum? momentum ratio:A rocket travels along a line from the Sun to Saturn at a constant speed of 0.862c relative to the Sun. The distance from the Sun to Saturn is 1.43 x 1012 m, as measured by someone at rest with respect to the Sun. How long does the journey take (in minutes) as measured by an astronaut on the rocket?
