A cube has a density of 2000 kg/m3 while at rest in the laboratory. What is the cube's density as measured by an experimenter in the laboratory as the cube moves through the laboratory at 91.0 % of the speed of light in a direction perpendicular to one of its faces? You may want to review

Answer:

kg/m³

Explanation:

[tex]\rho'[/tex] = Actual density of cube = 2000 kg/m³

[tex]\rho[/tex] = Density change due to motion

v = Velocity of cube = 0.91c

c = Speed of light = [tex]3\times 10^8\ m/s[/tex]

Relativistic density is given by

[tex]\rho=\dfrac{\rho'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{2000}{\sqrt{1-\frac{0.91^2c^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{2000}{\sqrt{1-0.91^2}}\\\Rightarrow \rho=4823.8307\ kg/m^3[/tex]

The cube's density as measured by an experimenter in the laboratory is 4823.8307 kg/m³
