- You are flying at 0.99c with respect to Kara. At the exact instant you pass Kara, she fires a very short laser pulse in the same direction you’re heading.a. After 1.0 s has elapsed on Kara’s watch, what does Kara say the distance is between you and the laser pulse?b. After 1.0 s has elapsed on your watch, what do you say the distance is between you and the laser pulse?A proton moves at .25c. What is it's momentum? Choose the best answer. Question 16 options: 2.575*10-16kgms 1.287*10-16kgms 2.575*10-17kgms 1.287*10-17kgmsTJ,CJ & DJ are working at a particle accelerator facility. In one experiment, they observe that particles A and B collide head on at relativistic speeds. If the velocity of A is 0.764c to the left, and the velocity of B is 0.324c to the right (both of these speeds are measured in Earth's rest frame), how fast are the particles moving with respect to each other?
- As observed on earth, a certain type of bacteria is known to double in number every 24 hours. Two cultures of these bacteria are prepared, each consisting initially of one bacterium. One culture is left on earth and the other placed on a rocket that travels at a speed. of 0.729c relative to the earth. At a time when the earthbound culture has grown to 32 bacteria, how many bacteria are in the culture on the rocket, according to an earth-based observer? Number UnitsConsider a particle with total relativistic energy equal to 1.7 times its rest energy. The speed of the particle is v. What is v/c?

Each rocket is moving at a speed of v = 0.83 c as seen from the Earth. a. How fast is rocket "B" moving as seen by the astronaut in rocket "A"? Express your answer as a decimal fraction of the speed of light. b. If the astronaut on rocket "A" measures a time interval of 60 minutes, how much time would they say goes by for the astronaut on rocket "B"? minutes c. Rocket "A" travels out from Earth at a speed of v = 0.83 c for a period of one year as measured on Earth, turns around, and then travels back to the Earth at the same speed for another Earth year. How much did the astronaut on the rocket age? years
- Consider a particle moving with a speed of 0.99c. How fast does the particle need to move in order to double its momentum?A particle is traveling at 0.98c, where c is the speed of light. According to an observer at rest, the particle is traveling a distance 5.6 meters before disintegrating. What is the lifetime of the particle as measured in the moving frame? Express your answer in nanoseconds and keep three significant digitsA subatomic particle moves through the laboratory at 0.90c. Laboratory experimenters measure its lifetime, from creation to annihilation, to be 2.3 ps (1 ps = 1 picosecond = 10-12 s). According to the particle, how long did it live?
