System S' has a velocity u = +0.33c relative to system S, as shown in the figure. The clocks of S and S' are synchronized at t = t' = 0 when the origins O and O' coincide. An event is observed in both systems. The event takes place at x = 672 m and at time t = 1.6 μs, as measured by an observer in S. What is the x'-coordinate of the event, measured by an observer in S'?
Suppose 5 rocketships are all traveling in â in some frame S. The speeds are: St (min) 100 B 0 0.25 0.5 0.75 0.99 7 1 How much time passes on the clocks inside each rocketship if 100 minutes elapse on the stationary rocketship?
1) Calculate the interval As 2 between two events with coordinates (x1 = 50 m, y1 = 0, z1 = 0, t1 = 1 us) and (x2 = 120 m, y2 = 0, z2 = 0, t2 = 1.2 µs) in an inertial frame S. 2) Now transform the coordinates of the events into the S0 frame, which is travelling at 0.6c along the x-axis in a positive direction with respect to the frame S. Hence verify that the spacetime interval is invariant.
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 spaceship departs from a space station and achieves a constant speed of 0.80cwith respect to thes tation, moving directly away from it. The spaceship fires a torpedo forward (in the same direction). The torpedo’s speed with respect to the spaceship is 0.40c. How fast is the torpedo moving with respect to the station?

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
