- 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?The space and time coordinates for two events as measured in a frame S are as follows: Event 1: x1=x0 , t1=x0/c Event 2: x2=2x0, t2=x0/2c a. There exists a frame in which these events occur at the same time. Find the velocity of this frame with respect to S. b. What is the value of t at which both events occur in the new frame?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.)

- The time interval ΔΔt between two events measured by an observer moving with respect to a clock1 is usually shorter than the time interval ΔΔtp (ΔΔt < ΔΔtp) between the same two events measured by an observer at rest with respect to the clock. Group of answer choices True FalseChapter 37, Problem 015 The center of our Milky Way galaxy is about 24000 ly away. (a) To eight significant figures, at what constant speed parameter would you need to travel exactly 24000 ly (measured in the Galaxy frame) in exactly 27 y (measured in your frame)? (b) Measured in your frame and in lightyears, what length of the Galaxy would pass by you during the trip? (a) Number Units (b) Number UnitsAn alarm clock is set to sound in 10.0 = h. Att 0, the clock is placed in a spaceship moving with a speed of 0.736 c (relative to Earth). What distance, as determined by an Earth observer, does the spaceship travel before the alarm clock sounds? (Hint: Keep track of your units!) answer in m
- Einstein concluded that the speed of light is the same in all inertial frames. Prove that the analysis of the Michelson-Morley experiment (see attached image) is in error.Two atomic clocks are synchronized. One is placed on a satellite which orbits around the earth at high speeds for a whole year. The other is placed in a lab and remains at rest with respect to the earth. You may assume both clocks can measure time accurately to many significant digits. a)Will the two clocks still be synchronized after one year? b) imagine the speed of light is much lower than its actual value. How would the results of this experiment change if the speed of light was only twice the average speed of the satellite? Explain your reasoning using a calculation.At t=0, an alien spaceship passes by the earth: let this be event A. At t=13 min (according to synchronized clocks on earth and Mars), the spaceship passes by Mars, which is 5 light-minutes from earth at the time: let this be event B. Radar tracking indicates that the spaceship moves at a constant velocity between earth and Mars. Just after the ship passes earth, people on earth launch a probe whose purpose is to catch up with and investigate the spaceship. This probe accelerates away from earth, moving slowly at first, but moving faster and faster as time passes, eventually catching up with and passing the alien ship just as it passes Mars. In all parts of this problem, you can ignore the effects of gravity and the relative motion of earth and Mars (which are small) and treat earth and Mars as if they were both at rest in the inertial reference frame of the solar system. Also assume that both the probe and the alien spacecraft carry clocks. 1. Draw a quantitatively accurate…
- I am currently working through a physics book (Spacetime Physics by Edwin Taylor) and I have come across this question and I don't know how to solve it: "Take the differential of this equation for g to obtain an approximate algebraic expression for Δg, the change in g, for a small change Δr in height." How do I sovle this question?Events 1 and 2 are exploding firecrackers that each emit light pulses. In the reference frame of the detector, event 1 leaves a char mark at a distance 3.40 m from the detector, and event 2 leaves a similar mark at a distance 2.10 m from the detector. If the two events are simultaneous in the reference frame of the detector and occur at instant t = 0, at what instant of time will each light pulse be detected?
