- 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?arrow_forwardR5B.5 An event occurs at t = 6.0 s and x = 4.0 s in the Home Frame. The Other Frame is moving in the +x direc- tion with x-velocity 3 = 0.5 relative to the Home Frame. (a) Use a two-observer spacetime diagram to determine when and where this event occurs in the Other Frame. (b) Check your work by applying the appropriate Lorentz transformation equation.

The redshift of the light emitted by G and measured by O is z = 0. Find the speed of G with respect to O in units of c, the speed of light. Enter your answer to 3 decimal places. direction of relative motion G line of sightarrow_forward
- Imagine a space vessel traveling at a constant velocity toward a star that is 6.05 ly from the Earth. A passenger aboard the moving space vessel measures the Earth-star distance to be 2.60 ly. What is the space vessel's speed with respect to the Earth? Express your answer as a fraction of the speed of light. Varrow_forwardProblem A new particle, the aarnion, has just been discovered! Careful measurements show that the aarnion has an average lifetime (at rest) of 64 ns. In one experiment, an aarnion traveled 14 m (as viewed from the lab frame) before it decayed. A.) Determine the proper velocity of the aarnion. Assume it had an average lifetime in its own frame. W = XC B.) Determine the velocity of the aarnion. Assume it had an average lifetime in its own frame.

- Hannah the Standard Poodle has just been groomed, and without so much fur she weighs in at a lithe 21 kg. What mass of fuel would she need to convert entirely into energy in order to accelerate from rest to 1% of the speed of light? [c = 2.998 × 108 m/s]arrow_forward▾ Part A A subatomic particle moves through the laboratory at 0.90 c. Laboratory experimenters measure its lifetime, from creation to annihilation, to be 2.1 ps. (1 ps 10-12s). = According to the particle, how long did it live? Express your answer using two significant figures. tp = ΜΕ ΑΣΦ Submit Request Answer Provide Feedback ? psarrow_forwardA particle of mass m and energy E falls from the Earth's zenith along the Z axis in the rest reference frame of a certain observer K. Another observer, K', moves with speed v along the positive X axis of K and observes the particle approaching him with an angle 0 with respect to the Z' axis. a) Calculate the angle 0 expressed in terms of the velocity u of the particle and the velocity v of K' b) Based on the result obtained in part a), give a description of what the starry sky would look like for a space cruiser moving at high speeds in our galaxy.arrow_forward

Assume you are floating weightlessly and therefore consider yourself at rest. Assume the direction to the right of you as the positive direction, and that time is measured from the moment when you meet the person. ▼ Part A Draw a worldline for Sebastian, who is moving to your right at 0.5c. +* E₂ No elements selected Time (yr) -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 10 8 6 4 2 -2 L ■ I 02 4 6 Review 8 10 Space (ly)arrow_forward0.9838 not correctarrow_forward
