One of the concepts of relativity theory is that an object moving past an observer at a speed near the speed of light appears to have a larger mass because of its motion. If the mass of the object is mo when the object is at rest relative to the observer, its mass m will be given by the formula -1/2 m = m when is moving with speed v (in miles per second) past the observer. The letter c is the speed of light, 186,000 mi/sec. If a proton with a rest mass of 8 units is accelerated by a nuclear accelerator to a speed of 170,000 mi/sec, what mass will the technicians observe it to have? Round to the nearest hundredth. m = units
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
