Classical Relativity. A moving sidewalk 95 m in length carries passengers at aspeed of 0.53 m/s. One passenger has a normal walking speed of 1.24 m/s. (a) Ifthepassengerstands on the sidewalk without walking, how long does it take herto travel the length of the sidewalk? (b) If she walks at her normal walking speedon the sidewalk, how long does it take to travel the full length? (c) When shereaches the end of the sidewalk, she suddenly realizes that she left a package at theopposite end. She walks rapidly back along the sidewalk at double her normalwalking speed to retrieve the package. How long does it take her to reach thepackage?Activate Windows

Two electrons are brought close together, to a distance of 75 pm apart. They are then both released from rest, accelerating and travelling away from one another. When the two particles are very far apart, how fast will they be going, in m/s?
In our inertial reference frame, we see a particle accelerating with a velocity dx/dt = ( 1 - e-gt )1/2 in units where c = 1 (speed of light) When we watch the particle's trajectory from t=0 to t=T, how much time passes in the particle's non inertial frame? Now express the answer such that T and the time have units of seconds instead of meters What's the 4-velocity in units c=1?

You and your secret celebrity crush pass each other in rockets that are each traveling 0.56c relative to the other. Your secret celebrity crush takes a nap and you decide to time how long the nap takes. In your frame, the nap takes 1.7 h. How long was the nap in your secret celebrity crush's frame? Unbeknownst to you, your secret celebrity crush's agent is onboard the celebrity's rocket and saw you timing the nap. Concerned, the agent decides to time how long you were timing the nap. In the agent's frame, how long were you timing your secret celebrity crush's nap?

James (mass 81.0 kg) and Ramon (mass 57.0 kg) are 20.0 m apart on a frozen pond. Midway between them is a mug of their favorite beverage. They pull on the ends of a light rope stretched between them. Ramon pulls on the rope to give himself a speed of 1.10 m/s. What is James's speed? It must have the proper dimensions of speed.
An interstellar space probe is launched from Earth. After a brief period of acceleration, it moves with a constant velocity, 74.0% of the speed of light. Its nuclear-powered batteries supply the energy to keep its data transmitter active continuously. The batteries have a lifetime of 19.4 years as measured in a rest frame. Note that radio waves travel at the speed of light and fill the space between the probe and Earth at the time the battery fails. (a) How long do the batteries on the space probe last as measured by mission control on Earth? (Ignore the delay between the time the battery fails and the time mission control stops receiving the signal.) yr (b) How far is the probe from Earth when its batteries fail as measured by mission control? (Ignore the delay between the time the battery fails and the time mission control stops receiving the signal.) ly (c) How far is the probe from Earth as measured by its built-in trip odometer when its batteries fail? ly (d) For what total time…
