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...

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?

Two objects are traveling past an observer. Relative to the observer, the first object (A) appears to be traveling at 0.35 c in the +x direction. A second observer, in the frame of A, views the second object (B) traveling at 0.51 c in the -x direction. How fast would the original observer, view B as moving? Report you answer in units of 'c', and give your answer with 2 digits after the decimal point.

Suppose an object is launched from Earth with 0.52 times the escape speed. How many multiples of Earth's radius (RE 6.37 x 106 m) in radial distance will the object reach before falling back toward Earth? The distances are measured relative to Earth's center, so a ratio of 1.00 would correspond to an object on Earth's surface. For this problem, neglect Earth's rotation and the effect of its atmosphere For reference, Earth's mass is 5.972 x1024 kg. Your answer is...

Suppose a cosmic ray colliding with a nucleus in the Earth's upper atmosphere produces a muon that has speed v = 0.74c. The muon then travels at constant speed and lives 1.525 μs as measured in the muon's frame of reference. (You can imagine this as the muon's internal clock.) Please answer B A) How many kilometers does the muon travel according to an Earth-bound observer? 0.503 is the answer to A B) How many kilometers of the Earth pass...
