The Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) accelerates
electrons to c=0.99999997c in a 3.10 km-long
tube.
Part A
If they travel the length of the tube at full speed (they don't, because they are accelerating), how long is the tube in the electrons'
reference frame?

A) How fast would your car have to be moving for an observer on the ground to find your car shorter than your garage? Express your answer as a multiple of c. B) When you are driving at this speed, how long is your garage, as measured in the car's frame of reference?

- A snake is crossing a stream with 0.86 m/s current flowing to the East. The snake is pointed downstream at an angle of θ = 62° with respect to the shore (North of East), but the current carries it downstream such that the speed of the snake in the Earth frame is 1.4 m/s at an angle of φ = 52° with respect to the shore (North of East). A. Draw a diagram of the situation including the relative velocity vectors for the snake in the frame of the water, the water in the frame of the Earth and the snake in the frame of the Earth.

Ana does it to the right, up to the mark at x = L and Beto to the left until x = -L. Suppose they both travel at the same speed v relative to the ground. From the public's point of view, the race is fair. But Ana sees things differently. From his point of view (in his system of reference) you can see the clocks on your and Beto's finish lines. a) Ana complains to those in charge of the race that something is wrong with the clocks of the points of arrival. What do you see? (Be clear, specific and quantitative) b) Ana says that she won the race. Why do you think this? How much do you think you won? (A relativistic race - modern physics) %3Darrow_forward

Assume that the position of the object along the circle is described by an angle θ with respect to the center of the circle and the x-axis. Is this angle a minimum set of generalized coordinates for this problem? b. Assume that the position of the object along the circle is described by two Cartesian coordinates x and y, where the origin of the coordinate system is the center of the circle. Are these coordinates a minimum set of generalized coordinates for this problem? c. What would be the holonomic constraint for the two Cartesian coordinates x and y for the motion around the circle? d.
