The figure shows a spacetime diagram for two people moving with respect to each other and five events, labelled A through E. The horizontal scale is the x scale, the vertical scale is the t scale, and the tilted axes are the x' and t' scales. A D B C E (a) Rank the five marked points according to time for the stationary (in this diagram) observer, earliest first. Use the syntax A-B-C-D-E which would mean A happened first, B at the same tim as C, followed by D then E.

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?
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.
You are in a rocket moving away from Earth at one-third the speed of light relative to Earth. A friend is on Earth, and an astronaut in another rocket is moving toward Earth at one-third the speed of light (in the Earth reference frame), on a path collinear with your path. If each of you records the duration of your journey in your three respective reference frames, which of you records the proper time interval?

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?
Playing a high-stakes game of basketball with a series of cartoon characters. The court has a total length of 28 meters measured in its own rest frame. The Street Sprinter, an animated lion on your team, can run at a maximum speed of ½ c. As measured in the rest frame of the court, a player on the opposing side throws a ball at ¼c from half court. At the same time, the Street Sprinter starts running at full speed from the full length of the court away. Call this time t=0. Draw a Space-Time diagram from the rest frame of the court with the Street Sprinter's initial position as the origin. Mark the following events on it, and find their spacetime coordinates (t,x) in the frame of the court and (t',x') in the frame of the Street Sprinter: A: The ball is thrown from half-court. B: The Street Sprinter takes off from the other side of the court C: The ball reaches the net D: The Street Sprinter reaches the net e) From the perspective of the referee in the court rest frame, does the ball…
