- Please answer D A spaceship from another galaxy passes over the solar system directly above a radial line from the sun to the Earth. (We measure the distance between the Earth and the Sun to be 1.496 x 1011 m.) An observer standing on the Earth measures that the spaceship is approaching at 0.800c. The Earth-based observer also measures that it takes the spaceship 625 seconds to travel from the sun to Earth. Ignore the relative motion of the Sun and Earth in this problem – their relative speed is only 0.001c, negligibly small compared to 0.800c. a) According to a scientist in the spaceship, the Earth-Sun distance is: 8.976 x 1010m b) According to a scientist in the spaceship, the time it takes her to travel the Earth-Sun distance is: 357s c) What is the ratio of the kinetic energy to rest energy of the spaceship? KE/ER = 0.667 d) As the spaceship passed over the Sun, the alien scientist launched a probe toward Earth, traveling at 0.200c relative to the spaceship. What would the…The Tevatron was a large particle accelerator that would collide beams ofprotons and anti-protons to see what would come out of the collisions.a) Let’s assume that each particle (in both beams) was accelerated to a total energy of100 GeV. What is the speed of the protons (relative to the speed of light) if you assumethe mass of the proton is equal to 1 GeV/c^2? Write your answer in terms of the speed oflight—keep it as a decimal times “c”. You will need several decimal places.b) Suppose that you now accelerate each particle to a speed of 0.9c. Since they are movingin opposite directions, what is the speed that one would measure for the speed of the otherparticle? Just give the absolute value of this speed. Don’t worry about the sign.c) Given your answer in part b, what is the energy of that one particle would measure forthe other particle?Determine an expression for the total travel time of the light pulse, as measured by the following: A) an observer in the S frame (Use the following as necessary: c, d, and v.) B) an observer on the spacecraft (Use the following as necessary: c, d, and v.) What If? If the transmitted light beam has a wavelength λT, determine an expression for the shift in the wavelength of the light beam, as measured by the following C) an observer in the S frame (Use the following as necessary: c, v, and λT.) D) an observer on the spacecraft (Use the following as necessary: c, v, and λT.)
- An asteroid of mass 1000 kg travels through space with speed a) What is the total energy of the asteroid? (You can leave your response as a math function, but please simplify as much as you can.) b) The asteroid has a rest length of 20 m. What length would an observer on Earth see? (You can leave your response as a math function, but please simplify as much as you can.)Consider the equation for kinetic energy: KE = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 * m * v^2. If I ask you to take the derivative of kinetic energy, you should ask "the derivative with respect to what?" a) Suppose mass m is constant. Compute the derivative of KE with respect to v, (d(KE)/dv). b) Who takes derivatives with respect to velocity? No one. Except you, just now. Sorry. The rate of change of energy with respect to time is more important: it is the Power. Now, consider velocity v to be a function of time, v(t). We will rewrite KE showing this time dependance: KE= 1/2 * m * v(t)^2. Show that (d(KE)/dt) = F(t)v(t). Hint: use Newton's second law, F = ma, to simplify. c) In the computation above, we assumed m was constant, and v was changing in time. Think of a physical situation in which both m and v are varying in time. d) Compute the Power when both mass and velocity are changing in time. (First rewrite KE(t) showing time dependence, then compute (d(KE)/dt).Problem 3: A mass m is thrown from the origin att = 0 with initial three-momentum po in the y direction. If it is subject to a constant force F, in the x direction, find its velocity v as a function of t, and by integrating v find its trajectory. Check that in the non-relativistic limit the trajectory is the expected parabola. Hint: The relationship F = P is still true in relativistic mechanics, but now p = ymv instead of p = mv. To find the non-relativistic limit, treat c as a very large quantity and use the Taylor approximation (1+ x)" = 1 + nx when a is small.
- Needs Complete typed solution with 100 % accuracy.A beam of radioactive particles travels at a speed of 2.5 x 10^8 m/s. The half-life of the particles in the beam is measured to be 1.4μs by an outside observer. Determine the half-life of those particles when they are at rest with respect to the observer. [2 marks] When I performed calculations I considered the time given to be relativistic time as it is measured by an outside observer, however when I look up the answer, they treat the time given as the proper time and not the relatavistic time.
