Problem 5: A meter-stick is moving with a speed of 0.7 c relative to the Earth....
27.11 A meter stick moves past you at great speed.Its motion relative to you is parallel to its long axis. If you measure the length of the moving meter stick to be 1.90ft for example, by comparing it with a ruler that is at rest relative to you, at what speed is the meter stick moving relative to you?
Spaceships A, B, and C have the same proper length I, and according to an observer on Earth, are moving with same relativistic speed v in the +z, -, and -v direction, respectively. Find the length of each spaceship as measured by an observer in the Spaceship A. Spaceships A, B, and C have the same proper length I, and according to an observer on Earth, are moving with same relativistic speed v in the +z, -, and -v direction,...
A meter stick moves parallel to its axis with speed 0.85c relative to you. How long does it take for the stick to pass you?
Problem 29.16 5 of 7 I Review An observer moving toward Earth with a speed of 0.84 c notices that it takes 4.9 min for a person to fill her car with gas. Suppose, instead, that the observer had been moving away from Earth with a speed of 0.91 c. Part A How much time would the observer have measured for the car to be filled in this case? Express your answer using two significant figures. 1ηΑΣφ At = 6.89...
A meter stick hurtles through space at a speed of 0.95c relative to you, with its length perpendicular to the direction of motion. You measure its length to be equal to -0.05m - 0m -1.00m -1,05 m 0.95m
A 2.1 meter long baseball bat travels in a direction that is parallel to its length. An observer at rest on the Earth measures the bat's length to be 1.5 meters. What is the speed of the baseball bat relative to the stationary observer (give your answer in terms of “c”) ?
1271 A meterstick is 3 cm wide. At what velocity must the meterstick travel relative to an observer for the observer to find that its length measures the same as its width ? (The stick is moving in a direction parallel to its length.)
A spaceship is flying with a speed of 0.250c relative to the Earth. The spaceship fires a missile with a speed of 0.500c relative to it. What is the speed of the missile as measured by an observer on Earth? a) 0.667c b) 0.650c c) 0.866c d) 0.776c
The spaceship Enterprise 1 is moving directly away from earth at a velocity that an earth-based observer measures to be +0.69c. A sister ship, Enterprise 2, is ahead of Enterprise 1 and is also moving directly away from earth along the same line. The veolcity of Enterprise 2 relative to Enterprise 1 is +0.45c. What is the velocity of Enterprise 2, (in terms of c) as measured by the earth-based observer?
Observer A on Earth sees spaceship B moving at speed v = 0.600c0 away from Earth and spaceship C moving at the same speed in the opposite direction. Observer A determines that both ships simultaneously sent out a radio signal at 12:00:00 noon and another signal at 12:05:00 p.m., making the time interval A measures between the emission of the signals from each ship ?tA = 5.00 min . Let ?tBB denote the time interval measured on ship B between...
