I'm attracted to you. An 8.00[kg] point mass and 15.0[kg] point mass are held in place 50.0[cm] apart. A particle of mass m is released from a point 20.0[cm] from the 8.00 [kg] mass along the line connecting the two fixed masses. What is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the particle?

Joe and Moe are twins. In the laboratory frame at location S1 (2.00 km, 0.200 km, 0.150 km). Joe shoots a picture for aduration of t= 12.0 s. For the same duration as measured inthe laboratory frame, at location S2 (1.00 km, 0.200 km,0.300 km), Moe also shoots a picture. Both Joe and Moe begintaking their pictures at t = 0 in the laboratory frame. Determine the duration of each event as measured by an observer ina frame moving at a speed of 2.00 108 m/s along the x axisin the positive x direction. Assume that at t = t = 0, the origins of the two frames coincide.

In a reference frame where a Δ+ particle is at rest, it decays into a proton and a high-energy photon (a "gamma ray"): Δ+ → p+ + γ. The mass of the Δ+ particle is 1232 MeV/c2 and the mass of the proton is 938 MeV/c2 (1 MeV = 1 ✕ 106 eV). What is the Egamma and the vproton?
has the 3. A positron (the antiparticle of the electron) same mass as an electron (9.11×10-³¹ kg) but the opposite charge, +e = +1.602×10-¹9 C. Suppose a positror moves in the vicinity of an alpha particle, which has a charge +2e = 3.204×10-¹⁹ C. The alpha particle is over 7000 times as massive as the positron, so we assume that it is at rest in some inertial frame of reference. When the positron is 1.00×10-¹⁰ m from the alpha particle, it is moving directly away from the alpha particle at a speed of 3.00×10⁰ m/s. a) What is the positron's speed when the two particles are 2.00×10-¹0 m apart? b) What is the positron's speed when it is very far away from the alpha particle? c) Repeat a) after replacing the positron with an electron. d) Repeat b) after replacing the positron with an electron. The result here tells you whether the electron will eventually turn around and head toward the alpha particle. Will the electron turn around? If so, at what distance away does it turn around (i.e.,…
NASA decides to chase the International Space Station (ISS) after the alien ship, reaching v=0.999c=299482km/s (where 'c' is the speed of light equal to 299782km/s). According to NASA the ISS has a mass of 420 tons when in orbit arond the Earth. What would its mass be when moving after the ship? O The ISS would have no mass, it's in space. The ISS would have an effective mass of nearly 19 tons. The ISS would increase in effective mass to 9400 tons. O The ISS would have the same mass of 420 tons.
