Identical twins Speedo and Goslo join a migration from Earth to Planet X. Planet X is 20.0 light-yearsaway from Earth in the frame at which they are both at rest. The twins, of the same age, depart atthe same time on different spaceships. Speedo’s spaceship travels steadily at a speed of 0.90, andGoslo’s at 0.75. a. Calculate the age difference between the twins when Goslo’s spaceship reaches Planet X.Please draw the spacetime diagram with the answer. b. Which twin is older and why?
Space pilot Mavis zips past Stanley at a constant speed relative to him of 0.800c. Mavis and Stanley start timers at zero when the front of Mavis’s ship is directly above Stanley. When Mavis reads 5.00 s on her timer, she turns on a bright light under the front of her spaceship. (a) Use the Lorentz coordinate transformation derived to calculate x and t as measured by Stanley for the event of turning on the light. (b) Use the time dilation formula, Eq., to calculate the time interval between the two events (the front of the spaceship passing overhead and turning on the light) as measured by Stanley. Compare to the value of t you calculated in part (a). (c) Multiply the time interval by Mavis’s speed, both as measured by Stanley, to calculate the distance she has traveled as measured by him when the light turns on. Compare to the value of x you calculated in part (a)

An astronaut on a space station is moving away from earth at 0.6 c. A spacecraft mannedby a different astronaut is heading towards him in the direction of earth at 0.6 c relative to the space station.Mission control sits on earth and observes both crafts. The first astronaut watches a film in his space station.All three observers time how long the film takes. Who measures the film’s proper time?
4. In the figure shown below, frame S' moves relative to frame S with velocity 0.62c i while a particle moves parallel to the common x and x'axes. An observer attached to frame S' measures the particle's velocity to be 0.47c i. In terms of c, what is the particle's velocity as measured by an observer attached to frame S according to the (a) relativistic and (b) classical velocity transformation? Suppose, instead, that the S' measure of the particle's velocity is -0.47ci. What velocity does the observer in S now measure according to the (c) relativistic and (d) classical velocity transformation?

Two students, Nora and Allison, are both the same age when Allison hops aboard a flying saucer and blasts off to achieve a cruising speed of 0.790c for a 17.5 year round trip (according to Allison). Neglecting the brief time periods required for the acceleration of the ship during blastoff and turnarounds, find the difference in age between Nora and Allison when they are reunited, difference in age: years Who is older? Allison They are still the same age. need more information Nora
3) In a frame S, two events are observed by Max: event 1: a pion (pi meson) is created at rest at the origin, and event 2: the pion disintegrates (decays) after time T. Susan is an observer in frame S', and is moving in the positive direction along the positive x-axis, with speed v. Susan observes the same two events in her frame. The two frames coincide at time t = t' = 0. a) Find the positions and timings of these two events in Susan's frame according to the Galilean transformation. b) What are the positions and timings of the two events in Susan's frame according to the Lorentz transformation? Provide details of how you calculated your results, and explain the differences be- tween the answers (a) and (b).
