1. Suppose a spaceship heading straight toward the Earth at 0.650c can shoot a canister at 0.400c relative to the ship. (a) What is the velocity of the canister relative to Earth, if it is shot directly at Earth? (b) If it is shot directly away from Earth?
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?

18 Part 2 of 2 + eBook Hint Print References A spaceship is moving away from Earth with a constant velocity of 0.840c with respect to Earth. The spaceship and an Earth station synchronize their clocks, setting both to zero, at an instant when the ship is near Earth. By prearrangement, when the clock on Earth reaches a reading of 1.00×104 S, the Earth station sends out a light signal to the spaceship. According to an Earth observer, what is the reading of the clock on Earth when the signal is received?
