Two flashes of light occur simultaneously at t - 0 in reference frame S, one at x = 0 and the other at x = 600 m. They are observed inreference frame S, which is moving at 0.95c in the positive x direction. The origins of the two frames coincide at t = 0 and the clocks ofS' are zeroed when the origins coincide. In S' the coordinate where the leading edges of the two light flashes meet and the time whenthey meet are:O 1900 m, 0.16 µsO 15 m, 0.050 usO 300 m, 1.0 μsO 585 m, 1.95 µsO 48 m, 0.16 µs

Suppose a cosmic ray colliding with a nucleus in the Earth's upper atmosphere produces a muon that has speed v = 0.82c. The muon then travels at constant speed and lives 1.5 μs as measured in the muon's frame of reference. (You can imagine this as the muon's internal clock.) 1)how many meters does it travel as observed on the earth? 2)how many meters is this in muon's frame?
A spaceship leaves the solar system at v = (3/5)c and is headed towards a planet that is 20 c • years away (c is the speed of light). Assume the following: the Sun and the planet are mutually at rest and their clocks have been synchronized such that both read zero when the spaceship leaves. Say that the clock on the ship began at zero. If this is the case, then what should the clock on the ship read when it arrives at the planet?
The proper length of one spaceship is three times that of another. The two spaceships are traveling in the same direction and, while both are passing overhead, an Earth observer measures the two spaceships to have the same length. If the slower spaceship has a speed of 0.354c with respect to Earth, determine the speed of the faster spaceship. (Give your answer to at least 3 significant figures.) |c
System S' has a velocity u = +0.33c relative to system S, as shown in the figure. The clocks of S and S' are synchronized at t = t' = 0 when the origins O and O' coincide. An event is observed in both systems. The event takes place at x = 672 m and at time t = 1.6 μs, as measured by an observer in S. What is the x'-coordinate of the event, measured by an observer in S'?
An object is moving with ordinary speed 0.5c in S reference frame along a direction making an angle (tan 9 = 2) with respect to the positive x - axis. Find the zeroth component of the proper velocity.

An experimenter has studied the decay of a K° particle in which it emits a 7° at 0.8c. One such K° particle passes the experimenter at 0.5c and decays, emitting a 7° in the original direction of motion. In the experimenter's frame, the speed of the T° is measured to be O 1.3c. O between c and 1.3c. between .5c and .8c. O between .8c and c..

Earth and a star are 20 light years (ly) apart, measured in a frame at rest with respect to Earth and star. Twin A boards a spaceship, travels at 0.80c to the star, and then returns immediately to Earth at 0.80c. Determine the round-trip travel times in Earth and ship refer- ence frames.
A person on Earth observes two rocket ships moving directly toward each other and colliding as shown in the figure below. At time t = 0 in the Earth frame, the Earth observer determines that rocket A, travelling to the right at vA = 0.80c, is at point a, and rocket B is at point b, travelling to the left at vB = 0.60c. According to the Earth observer they are separated by a distance l = 4.2 x 108 m as shown in the other figure. How much time will elapse in frame A from the time rocket A passes point auntil collision?
A rocket measures 100 m long in its own frame (S') and is travelling at 0.995c relative to a frame S. At the tail of the rocket, a laser sends out a pulse of light which is reflected by a mirror at the nose of the rocket. (a) At what time after emission, measured in S', does the light pulse arrive back at the tail of the rocket? (b) At what time after emission, measured in S, does the light pulse arrive back at the tail of the rocket? (c) What is the spatial distance, measured in S, between the emis- sion of the pulse and its arrival back at the tail of the rocket? (d) At what time after emission, measured in S, does the light pulse hit the mirror? (e) What is the spatial distance, measured in S, between the emis- sion of the pulse and its hitting the mirror? (f) Can you conclude from your answers that the light pulse travelled at a different speed, as seen in S, on its way to the mirror than on the way back? If not, explain your results
