A particle known as a pion lives for a short time before breaking apart into other particles. Suppose a pion is moving at a speed of 0.987c, and an observer who is stationary in a laboratory measures the pion's lifetime to be 3.4×10−8 s. (a) What is the lifetime according to a hypothetical person who is riding along with the pion? (b) According to this hypothetical person, how far does the laboratory move before the pion breaks apart? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

Tyrannosaurus rex may have known from experience not to run particularly fast because of the danger of tripping, in which case its short forearms would have been no help in cushioning the fall. Suppose a T. Rex of mass 4300 kg trips while walking, toppling over, with its center of mass falling freely a distance of 1.4 m. Then its center of mass descends an additional 0.25 m due to compression of its body and the ground. (a) What is the approximate magnitude of the average vertical force on the dinosaur during its collision with the ground (during the descent of 0.25 m)? Now assume that the dinosaur is running at a speed of 19 m/s (fast) when it trips, falls to the ground, and then slides to a stop with a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.58. Assume also that the average vertical force during the collision and sliding is that in (a). What, approximately, are (b) the magnitude of the average total force on the dinosaur from the ground and (c) the sliding distance? The force magnitudes of (a) and (b) strongly suggest that the collision would injure the torso of the dinosaur. The head, which would fall farther, would suffer even greater injury.

One component of a magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.0285 T and points along the +x axis, while the other component has a magnitude of 0.0626 T and points along the -y axis. A particle carrying a charge of +1.98×10−5 C is moving along the +z axis at a speed of 4.76×103 m/s. (a) Find the magnitude of the net magnetic force that acts on the particle. (b) Determine the angle that the net force makes with respect to the +x axis. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

The figure shows a particle that carries a charge of q0 = −2.87×10−6 C. It is moving along the +y axis at a speed of v = 4.73×106 m/s. A magnetic field B→ of magnitude 3.48×10−5 T is directed along the +z axis, and an electric field E→ of magnitude 116 N/C points along the −x axis. Determine (a) the magnitude and (b) direction (as an angle within x - y plane with respect to +x-axis in the range (−180∘, 180∘]) of the net force that acts on the particle.
