Classical mechanics is an extremely well tested model. Hundreds of years worth of experiments, as well as most feats of engineering, have verified its validity. If special relativity gave very different predictions than classical physics in everyday situations, it would be directly contradicted by this mountain of evidence. In this problem, you will see how some of the usual laws of classical mechanics can be obtained from special relativity by simply assuming that the speeds involved are small compared to the speed of light. Two of the most surprising results of special relativity are time dilation and length contraction, namely, that measured intervals in time and space are not absolute quantities but instead appear differently to different observers. The equations for time dilation and length contraction can be written t=?t0 and l=l0/?, where?=11?u2c2?.Part AFind the first two terms of the binomial expansion for ?.Express your answer in terms of u and c. Hints? = 1+12(uc)2 … SubmitMy AnswersGive UpCorrectYou can see that ??1 if u?c, as is the case in most situations. If you set ?=1 in the equations for time dilation and length contraction you recover the equations of classical physics, which state essentially that there is no time dilation or length contraction. Therefore, we don't see any appreciable length contraction or time dilation in everyday life. Part BConsider a case involving a speed that is fast compared to those encountered in our everyday life: a spy plane moving at 1500m/s. Find the deviation from classical physics (??1) that relativity predicts at this speed. Use only the first two terms of the binomial expansion, as your calculator may not be able to handle the necessary number of digits otherwise. Express your answer to four significant figures.??1 = 1.250×10?11SubmitMy AnswersGive UpCorrectIf you lived for 70 years in such a spy plane moving at 1500m/s, this would amount to about 28ms of cumulative time difference between you and people who lived at rest relative to the earth when you finally landed. Thus, it is not surprising that relativistic effects are not observed in everyday life, or even at the fringes of everyday life. By using atomic clocks, which can measure time accurately to one part in 1013 or better, the time dilation at the normal speed for an airliner has been verified. Part CNow, consider the relativistic velocity addition formula:speed=v+u1+vuc2.If v=u=0.01c=1% of c, what is the relativistic sum of the two speeds?Express your answer as a percentage of the speed of light to five significant figures.

Beryl states that insulation with the smallest possible thermal conductivity is best to keep a house warm in winter, but worst for keeping a house cool in summer. sapphire insists the reverse is true: low thermal conductivity is good in the summer, but bad in the winter. which one, if either is correct? a. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in low heat transfer. b. beryl, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. d. sapphire, because low thermal conductivity results in high heat transfer. e. neither, because low heat transfer is desirable both in summer and in winter.
