2. An observer S sees a flash of red light 1200 m from his position and a flash of blue light straight line. He measures the time interval between 720 m closer to him and on the same the occurrences of the flashes to be 5 microseconds, the red flash occurring first. a. What is the relative velocity v of a second observer S' who would record these flashes as occurring at the same place? b. From the point of...
A reference frame S' moves with a constant speed v=0.800c along the x axis relative to a second reference frame S. A particle is observed from reference frame S' to be moving with velocity 0.400c (along the positive x' axis). What would be the velocity of the particle as measured by an observer in reference frame S?
(1) Observer S (at x 0) sees a flash of red light at XR 1200 m from her position and a flash of blue light at x,-480 m on the same straight line. She measures the time interval between the flashes to be 5 us, with the blue flash occurring first (that is, ted ue 5 Hs.) What is the velocity v of observer S' who records the flashes as occurring at the same place, that is, who measures Ax...
12.12 Headlight effect* A light beam is emitted at angle θ 0 with respect to the x, axis in (a) Find the angle 0 the beam makes with respect to the x axis in S (b) A source that radiates light uniformly in all directions in its rest frame radiates strongly in the forward direction in a frame in which it is moving with speed v close to c. This is called the head- light effect; is very pronounced in...
Two rockets A and B are parallel to the x-axis in the reference frame of the lab. Rocket A is moving with velocity Va parallel to x-axis. Rocket B is moving with velocity Vb parallel to y-axis. At time t=0 the centers of both sticks coincide at the origin. Find the angle between the sticks and the length and velocity of stick B in the reference frame of stick A. Find the angle between the sticks and the length and...

. A rocketship of length 100 m when at rest, traveling at v/c 0.6, carries a radio receiver at its nose. A radio pulse is emitted from a stationary space station just as the tail of the rocket passes the station (a) From the point of view of the rocket reference frame, how far from the tail does the radio pulse move before being detected by the receiver in the nose? What is the velocity of the radio pulse in...
A red light flashes at position x - 3.00 m and time t, - 1.00 x 10's, and a blue light flashes at x = 4.10 m and t = 9.74 x 10's, all measured in the reference frame. Reference frame S'moves uniformly to the right and has its origin at the same point as sattuto. Both flashes are observed to occur at the same place in S. (a) Find the relative speed between S and S. m/s (b) Find...
