Choose all of the quantities that are different if you measure them in each of two different inertial reference frames (inertial reference frames that are moving relative to one another)
| a) |
time intervals |
| b) |
distance intervals |
| c) |
spacetime intervals |
| d) |
the relative velocity of the other frame |
Homework Answers
Solution: - The inertial reference frames is one which is not accelerating
Time intervals: - Time intervals are independent quantity.
Distance intervals: - Distance intervals are the independent quantity.
Space time intervals: - Space time intervals are not independent quantities. They are related by relative velocities.
The relative velocity of the other frame: - The relative velocity of the other frame is not independent quantity. It is related by relative velocities

Time Dilation Time Dilation is a relativistic effect where time measured in two reference frames with relative motion is different, even when the clocks in both reference frames are initially synchronized. Clocks are synchronized when the same time is measured when their inertial reference frames are at rest relative to one another (meaning there is no relative velocity). When t0, the clocks in the two reference frames are synchronized at the origin. The Proper Time (To) is the time difference...

Which of the following inertial reference frames are proper frames for the two events listed? Choose all that apply. RED FRAME: Event A happened at a different place than event B. ORANGE FRAME: Event C happened at (-7 m, 3 m, 4 m) and event D happened at (-7 m, 3 m, 5 m). YELLOW FRAME: The distance between where event E occurred and where event F occurred was 0 m. GREEN FRAME: A rocket was traveling at a constant...

In an inertial frame two events occur simultaneously at a distance of 3 m apart. In a frame moving with respect to the laboratory frame, one event occurs later than the other by 10s. By what spatial distance are the two events separated in the moving frame? Solve this problem in two ways: first by finding the Lorentz boost that connects the two frames and second by making use of the invariance of the spacetime distance between the two events.

4. Consider two asteroids with masses mi and m2 located in outer space far away from any external forces. m2 is initially stationary but mi travels horizontally to the right towards m2 with an initial speed vo. Let's assume that after the collision the asteroids only move horizontally (in other words we'll assume this problem is purely 1-dimensional) a) Suppose the asteroids stick together after colliding. Find an expression for the final velocity of the asteroids and show that the...

An electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 10V. What is the momentum of the particle after the acceleration? What is the electron's de Broglie wavelength? Do we need to worry about relativistic corrections for this equation? Explain why or why not. Describe how two events which are simultaneous in one frame of reference(S) can be seen as occurring at different times in another inertial reference frame, moving at a high velocity relative to S.
