Chapter 36, Problem 71GP

A spacecraft (reference frame S′) moves past Earth (reference frame S) at velocity v , which points along the x and x′ axes. The spacecraft emits a light beam (speed c) along its y′ axis as shown in Fig. 36–17. (a) What angle θ does this light beam make with the x axis in the Earth’s reference frame? (b) Use velocity transformations to show that the light moves with speed c also in the Earth’s reference frame. (с) Compare these relativistic results to what you would have obtained classically (Galilean transformations).

J K L The graph in the figure shows the position of an object as a function of time. The letters H-L represent particular moments of time. At which moments shown (H, I, etc.) is the speed of the object the greatest? + Position H I K Time
1. Two pendula of slightly different length oscillate next to each other. The short one oscillates with frequency 0.52 Hz and the longer one with frequency 0.50 Hz. If they start of in phase determine their phase difference after 75 s.
