Two spaceships approach each other, each moving with the same speed of 0.6c, as measured by an observer on Earth. What is the speed of one spaceship as measured by the other spaceship?
Please show every step Two spaceships approach Earth with equal speeds, as measured by an observer on Earth, but from opposite directions. A meterstick on one space- ship is measured to be 60 cm long by an occupant of the other spaceship. What is the speed of each spaceship, as measured by the observer on Earth? (A) 0.4c (B) 0.5c (C) 0.6c (D) 0.7c (E) 0.8c
5. (Fully graded)An observer in frame S sees lightning simultaneously strike two points 100 m apart. The first strike occurs at zi = V1 =句= t,-0 and the second at z2 = 100m, y2 = 뀨2 = t2 = 0. (a) What are the coordinates of these two events in a frame S" moving at 0.70c in the positive x direction relative to S? b) How far apart are the events in S? (c) Are the events simultaneous in S?...
Throughout this homework assignment, you may use c to denote the speed of light in both your work and final answers without using its numerical value. (This is actually preferred unless the problem requires the numerical value of c.) 1. The moon's distance from the earth is ~ 3.84 × ǐ0sm. A laser pointer is mounted on a turntable such that its beam repeatedly sweeps over the surface of the moon. If it rotates at a period of 4s, prove...
Spaceships A, B, and C have the same proper length I, and according to an observer on Earth, are moving with same relativistic speed v in the +z, -, and -v direction, respectively. Find the length of each spaceship as measured by an observer in the Spaceship A. Spaceships A, B, and C have the same proper length I, and according to an observer on Earth, are moving with same relativistic speed v in the +z, -, and -v direction,...
2. The pion has an average lifetime of 26.0ns when at rest. For it to travel 10.0m, how fast must it move? Throughout this homework assignment, you may use e to denote the speed of light in both your work and final answers without using its numerical value. (This is actually preferred unless the problem requires the numerical value of e.)
3. Calculate, for the judge, how fast you were going in miles per hour when you ran the red light because it appeared Doppler-shifted green to you. Take red light to have a wavelength of 650 nm and green to have a wavelength of 550 nm Throughout this homework assignment, you may use c to denote the speed of light in both your work and final answers without using its numerical value. (This is actually preferred unless the problem requires...
2. Consider a dise of radius R centered the origin in space and rotating about the z axis in some inertial reference frame O (a) What is the maximum angular velocityw of the disc allowed by Special Relativity? Recall angular velocity is 2π times the number of rotations per second. (b) Consider an observer O' sitting at the edge of the disk, rotating with it i. Is O' an inertial observer? ii. What does O' measure the circumference of the...
1. How many successive velocity increments of e are needed to produce a resultant velocity of 0.99e (Hint: You can do this using the standard form of the velocity addition law in the book. But it is easier if you use the fact that, in terms of the rapidities φ,a, a, defined by : ctanho, u-: c tanha, u' =: c tanha", the velocity addition law takes the simple forn。' + φ. If you do it this second way, tanh...
Two particles approach each other with equal and opposite speed, v. The mass of one particle is m, and the mass of the other particle is nm, where n is just a unitless number. Snapshots of the system before, during, and after the elastic collision are shown. Before Collision After m final After the collision, the first particle moves in the exact opposite direction with speed 0.7500, and the speed of the second particle, Vnmfinal, is unknown. What is the...
