2.2. A rod of mass m = 1 kg flies with constant velocity past a mark which is stationary in the K frame. In the K frame, it takes the rod At= 20 ns to fly pass the mark. In the K' frame fixed to the rod, the mark moves past the rod in At' =25 ns. (a) What is the velocity of the rod in the K frame? (b) What is the proper length of the rod? (c) What is the kinetic energy of the rod in the K frame in units of its total energy? (d) What is momentum of the rod in the K frame?

My question is about special relativity. Three interconnected rods form a 90-45-45 triangle that reside on the plane x′y ′ of frame O. The chord of this triangle is in the direction of the x-axis. The frame O in the x direction moves away from the frame O at a speed of 0.6c. What are the angles of this triangle from the observer O's point of view (in degrees)?
In the Marvel comics universe, Quicksilver is awfully fast. Let's say he can run at a velocity of 0.56c. He measures a trip as having a distance of 4.19e+05 m. How much time does Quicksilver measure this trip as taking? Does Quicksilver measure the proper or dilated time? Quicksilver's sister, Wanda Maximoff, is standing stationary near where he is running. How much time does Wanda measure this trip as taking? What distance does Wanda measúre for Quicksilver's trip?

A 8.2 [m]-stick is moving at a speed Bß = . What is the 41 observed length of the stick in the lab frame?
The proper length of one spaceship is three times that of another. The two spaceships are traveling in the same direction and, while both are passing overhead, an Earth observer measures the two spaceships to have the same length. If the slower spaceship has a speed of 0.354c with respect to Earth, determine the speed of the faster spaceship. (Give your answer to at least 3 significant figures.) |c

An object is moving with ordinary speed 0.5c in S reference frame along a direction making an angle (tan 9 = 2) with respect to the positive x - axis. Find the zeroth component of the proper velocity.
An experimenter has studied the decay of a K° particle in which it emits a 7° at 0.8c. One such K° particle passes the experimenter at 0.5c and decays, emitting a 7° in the original direction of motion. In the experimenter's frame, the speed of the T° is measured to be O 1.3c. O between c and 1.3c. between .5c and .8c. O between .8c and c..

A person on Earth observes two rocket ships moving directly toward each other and colliding as shown in the figure below. At time t = 0 in the Earth frame, the Earth observer determines that rocket A, travelling to the right at vA = 0.80c, is at point a, and rocket B is at point b, travelling to the left at vB = 0.60c. According to the Earth observer they are separated by a distance l = 4.2 x 108 m as shown in the other figure. How much time will elapse in frame A from the time rocket A passes point auntil collision?
A rocket measures 100 m long in its own frame (S') and is travelling at 0.995c relative to a frame S. At the tail of the rocket, a laser sends out a pulse of light which is reflected by a mirror at the nose of the rocket. (a) At what time after emission, measured in S', does the light pulse arrive back at the tail of the rocket? (b) At what time after emission, measured in S, does the light pulse arrive back at the tail of the rocket? (c) What is the spatial distance, measured in S, between the emis- sion of the pulse and its arrival back at the tail of the rocket? (d) At what time after emission, measured in S, does the light pulse hit the mirror? (e) What is the spatial distance, measured in S, between the emis- sion of the pulse and its hitting the mirror? (f) Can you conclude from your answers that the light pulse travelled at a different speed, as seen in S, on its way to the mirror than on the way back? If not, explain your results
