Relative Math Your friend flies from Los Angeles to New York. He determines the distance using the tried-and-true d vt. You and your assistants on the ground surveying equipment. also measure the distance, using meter sticks and a. Who, if anyone, measures the proper length? b. Who, if anyone, measures the shorter distance? A rocket travels at speed 0.5c relative to the earth. a. The rocket shoots a bullet in the forward direction at speed 0.5c relative to the rocket. Is the bullet's speed relative to the earth less than, greater than, or equal to c? Calculate the speed. Earth 0.Sc b. The rocket shoots a second bullet in the backward direction at speed 0.5c relative to the rocket. In the earth's frame, is the bullet moving right, moving left, or at rest? Calculate the speed The rocket speeds are shown relative to the earth. Is the speed of A relative to B greater than, less than, or equal to 0.8c? Calculate the speed. 0.5c 0.3c Experimenters in B's reference frame measure LA LB. Do experimenters in A's reference frame agree that A and B are the same length? If not, which do they find to be longer? Explain. A. Can a particle of mass m have total energy less than mc22 Explain.
