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?
1) Calculate the interval As 2 between two events with coordinates (x1 = 50 m, y1 = 0, z1 = 0, t1 = 1 us) and (x2 = 120 m, y2 = 0, z2 = 0, t2 = 1.2 µs) in an inertial frame S. 2) Now transform the coordinates of the events into the S0 frame, which is travelling at 0.6c along the x-axis in a positive direction with respect to the frame S. Hence verify that the spacetime interval is invariant.
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?

There is a lightbulb exactly halfway between the front and rear of a long hallway in your spaceship. Your ship is traveling at 0.5c relative to the earth. The bulb is suddenly turned on. Let event 1 be when the light from the bulb first strikes the front end of the hall, and event 2 be when it strikes the rear end. Which event occurs first, or are they simultaneous, in the frame of (a) the spaceship and (b) a person standing on the earth?

Suppose two angry rhinoceros charge each other. According to a few observers on the ground, the rhinoceros on the left moved to the right at a speed of (1 - ϵ)c while the rhinoceros on the right moved to the left at a speed of (1 - ϵ)c. ϵ is in the range of 0 < ϵ < 1. How fast is the rhinoceros on the right moving in the frame of the rhinoceros on the left? (Show that this speed is less than c, no matter how small ϵ is)
