A neutron travels to the right at a velocity of 0.63 c relative
to an observer at rest on the surface of the Earth (sometime called
the “Laboratory Frame”). An alpha particle travels to the right at
a velocity of 0.75 c relative to the moving neutron. What is the
velocity of the alpha particle relative to the observer at rest on
the surface of the Earth (give your answer in terms of “c”)?
Make sure that you draw a diagram and that you label S, S’,
ux, ux', and v. Also, remember that
velocity is a vector.

3) Two particles fly apart in opposite directions in a laboratory. Particle A travels to the left at speed 0.06c, and particle B travels to the right at speed 0.09c (both speeds are relative to the laboratory). We wish to calculate the relative velocity of particles A and B using the Galilean transformation. a) Using a figure, show which object in this scenario defines the Home frame and which object defines the Other frame.

A car travels East at a constant velocity of 83 km/hr relative to the ground. A truck travels West at a constant velocity of 51 km/hr relative to the ground. What is the velocity of the truck relative to the car (enter the magnitude and direction separately)? Before you do any calculations, make sure that you draw a diagram that shows reference frames S and S'. Also, make sure that you label the velocities u, u', and v in your...

Only need part c for the velocity in the y direction
An observer is stationary in the inertial system S. A car is moving in the x- direction with speed V with respect to the observer in S. The driver of the car is stationary with respect to the car, and thus the driver is in a different inertial frame S. The passenger of the car takes out a baseball, opens the sunroof of the car and throws out the...

An unstable particle is created in the upper atmosphere from a cosmic ray and travels straight down toward the surface of the earth with a speed of 0.99539 c relative to the earth. A scientist at rest on the earth's surface measures that the particle is created at an altitude of 48.0 km. Part A As measured by the scientist, how much time does it take the particle to travel the 48.0 km to the surface of the earth? IVO...

Frame S' has a velocity of v= 4c/5. relative to S At t'1= 0 ,a particle leaves the point x'1= 50m and travels in the x' direction with a constant velocity of u'=3c/4 It is suddenly brought to rest at a time of t'2 = 4x10^7s. (a) What was the velocity of the particle as measured in S? Answer : u=c/8 (b) How far did the particle travel as measured in S? Answer : x= 10 metres

While the wind is blowing due East at 87 km/hr relative to the ground, a jet travels due North at 562 km/hr relative to the wind (the air). Obviously, the wind will push the jet eastward and throw the jet off course. What is the velocity of the jet relative to the ground? Before you do any calculations, make sure that you draw a diagram that shows reference frames S and S', Also, make sure that you label the velocities...
