Question

1. A stick of length L moves past you, parallel to its length, at spee frame, S'. Call the event (front of stick passes you) A, and the event( Find the time interval between the two events in frame S, by work d v. Let your frame be S, and the stick's back of stick passes you), B. (a) ing IN frame S. (b) Now find the time interval in your frame by working in the stick's frame. (c) Now find the time interval in the STICK's frame, by working in YOUR frame. (d) Finally, find the time interval in the stick's frame, working in the stick's frame. (e) Draw the MInkowski diagram to scale, including both frames, and putting in both

Answer 1

"Given that: - Stick length 'L' S year frame S - stick trace a) Time: interval in stream by working in S frame sal it stick moves with velocity 'V' then is length contract to 'L'/r therefore time interval = L/r therefore time interval = L/rv b) Time interval in S frame by working in stick frame (S') ""Sat"" in stick frame Length = L therefore time = L/V - in stick frame but since we are moving, so time must law for us than for stick therefore time interval in our frame = L/rv c) time interval in sticks frame by working in your frame ""sat"" in our frame sticks length = L/r rightarrow time interval in are frame = L/rv now it front end of stick each us at t = 0 then sock for will each at f = LV/C^2 time interval in stick frame = L/r^2v "
