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?

3. A particle of rest mass m moving in the a direction at a speed of c/3 abruptly decays electromagnetically, yielding two photons. From the perspective of the home frame, the photon moving in the positive r direction is more energetic than the photon moving in the negative r direction - (a) Determine the energies and frequencies of both photons in the rest frame of the decaying particle. -(b) Using Lorentz transformations, determine the energies and frequencies of both photons...
Question 5 [12 10 22 marks] (a) In a given inertial reference frame, S', consider a region of space where there is a uniform and constant electric field, E', and zero magnetic field, i.e. B' = 0. The frame S' moves with respect to an observer, in another frame S, with velocity v. Write an expression for the electric field, E, observed in S? Clearly explain any notation (i) and new quantities introduced Write an expression for the magnetic field,...
this is one question but with multiple choice questions, sorry. Problem 1 You're in a spaceship in deep space. Your engines are off, and you're far away from any reference points. a) You release a small ball from rest. The ball remains floating at rest in the same position where you released it. What kind of reference frame are you in? Is there any way to tell if you are moving at all? Let's designate your reference frame as S,...

A team discovered an m-mass tetron, an 8-quark particle decaying into four identical muons in a symmetrical tetrahedral pattern. The tetron is stationary until it decays. The four daughter muons carry the same total energy and have a resting mass of 0.149M 1). M, determine the magnitude of the energy E and the momentum p0 meson. Conservation laws may at least partially apply to this problem. 2). suppose that the four muons of relativistic momentum decayed by the doppler are:...
