Suppose an atom is moving at speed 1 2 c in the lab. The atom then releases a photon flash of light, moving at speed c relative to the atom, and in the same direction as the atom. In your everyday intuition, what would you expect a stationary observer in the lab to record as the speed of the photon?

Consider 2 observers moving toward each other at high speed. One fires a light beam toward the other at speed c. What speed v does the second observer measure for the light beam? (a) v > c (b) v = c (c) v < c (d) Depends on magnitude and direction of relative speed of observers.

A 3.2 km train is moving at 87% the speed of light on a new train track. It is approaching a tunnel that is 1 km long. From the perspective of a stationary observer, can the train just fit inside the tunnel completely the moment the nose is about to come out the other side? If not, what fraction of the speed of light would it need to be moving in order to accomplish this? (use 3 sig figs for...

1. A source moving with a speed 37 m/s, emits a sound wave with a frequency f = 377 Hz. Determine the frequency detected by a stationary observer if the speed of sound is v = 343 m/s and the source is moving towards the observer. 2.A stationary source, emits a sound wave with a frequency f = 428 Hz. Determine the frequency detected by an observer moving towards the source with a speed v = 43 m/s, if the...

Einstein's first postulate (the relativity principle) states that: a. the speed of light is independent of the speed of the source or observer. b. the laws of physics have the same form in all inertial reference frames. c. the length of an object moving relative to an observer is measured to be shorter along its direction of motion than when it is at rest. d. at speeds much less than the speed of light, the relativistic formulas reduce to the...

Only need part c for the velocity in the y direction
An observer is stationary in the inertial system S. A car is moving in the x- direction with speed V with respect to the observer in S. The driver of the car is stationary with respect to the car, and thus the driver is in a different inertial frame S. The passenger of the car takes out a baseball, opens the sunroof of the car and throws out the...

When a fast electron (i.e., one moving at a relativistic speed) passes by a heavy atom, it interacts with the atom's electric field. As a result, the electron's kinetic energy is reduced, the electron slows down in the meantime, a photon of light is emitted. The kinetic energy lost by the electron equals the energy E_r of a photon of radiated light. E = K - K', where K and K' are the kinetic energies of the electron before and...
Two rockets A & B fly past an observer. "A" moves at constant speed 1000 m/s relative to ground, "B" moves at constant speed 1000 m/s relative to ground and opposite of rocket A. Rocket A sends light opposite to where it is heading.
You are standing on the ground observing the sky. Two spaceships A and B fly past you. Spaceship A is moving at a constant speed of 1000 m/s relative to the ground. Spaceship B is moving opposite to A at speed of 1000 m/s relative to the ground. Spaceship A fires a strobe light that sends out a pulse of light opposite to where it is heading. a) What is the velocity of spaceship A relative to spaceship B? b) What is...
