Subatomic particles called pions are created when protons, accelerated to speeds very near c in a particle accelerator, smash into the nucleus of a target atom. Charged pions are unstable particles that decay into muons with a half-life of 1.8 x 10-8 s. Pions have been investigated for use in cancer treatment because they pass through tissue doing minimal damage until they decay, releasing significant energy at that point. The speed of the pions can be adjusted so that the most likely place for the decay is in a tumor.Suppose pions are created in an accelerator, then directed into a medical bay 30 m away. The pions travel at the very high speed of 0.99995c. Without time dilation, half of the pions would have decayed after traveling only 5.4 m, not far enough to make it to the medical bay. Time dilation allows them to survive long enough to reach the medical bay, enter tissue, slow down, and then decay where they are needed, in a tumor. The proton collision that creates the pion also…
In special relativity, we introduced the momentum of a particle in a given Lorentz frame as pu = (E, pi ), where E is the energy of the particle and pi is the relativistic 3-momentum. Explain why, in general relativity, the energy of a particle measured by an observer is given, irrespective of the coordinate system used, by −p · uobs, where pu is the momentum of the particle and uuobs is the velocity of the observer in those coordinates.
Due to the Doppler effect, a moving aircraft sees the broadcast signals at 376 MHz from a stationary communications antenna that broadcasts signals at 354 MHz. Find the relative velocity between the aircraft and the broadcast station. Determine the direction of the moving aircraft.

Slick Willy is in traffic court (again) contesting a $50.00 ticket for running a red light. “You see, your Honor, as I was approaching the light, it appeared yellow to me because of the Doppler effect. The red light from the traffic signal was shifted up in frequency because I was traveling towards it, just like the pitch of an approaching car rises as it approaches you.” Calculate how fast Slick Willy must have been driving, in meters per second, to observe the red light (wavelength of 663 nm) as yellow (wavelength of 577 nm). (Treat the traffic light as stationary, and assume the Doppler shift formula for sound works for light as well.)
A driver is sentenced in court for crossing an intersection in red light. For his defense, the driver claims that due to the relativistic Doppler effect he saw the traffic light as green color. Color of light depends on the light wavelength (wavelength of a wave is equal to the speed of the wave times the period). The wavelength of red light is 700 nm and the wavelength of green light is 500 nm. How fast the driver should have travelled to see red color as green color? Give answer in units of speed of light. 0.32 X

Doppler Effect: This problem looks at wavelength shifts instead of frequency shifts. In this problem, AX is defined as the difference between the wavelength in the observer's frame and the source frame, and you can pick 2 to be equal to the wavelength in the source frame. a.

dx 4x 3. In so-called "natural units" (which is just a sneaky way to let us ignore a bunch of constants), the relativistic kinetic energy of a rigid body is given by the formula 1 КЕ — т V1 – v2 where m is the rest mass of the body and v is its relative speed. Alien scientists on a space station are observing an object falling into a black hole. As the object falls, it is disintegrating, losing mass at a rate of 3 (so its mass is changing at a rate of -3). How fast is the kinetic energy of the main part of the object changing when its mass is 20, its velocity is .7, and it is accelerating at a rate of .1 (remember that acceleration is the derivative of velocity with respect to time: a = dt 1Note that this formula does not make sense when v > 1. That is because in natural units, a speed of 1 corresponds to the speed of light, and nothing with positive rest mass can go that fast.
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 False
