- According to special relativity, a particle of rest mass m0 accelerated in one dimension by a force F obeys the equation of motion dp/dt = F. Here p = m0v/(1 –v2/c2)1/2 is the relativistic momentum, which reduces to m0v for v2/c2 << 1. (a) For the case of constant F and initial conditions x(0) = 0 = v(0), find x(t) and v(t). (b) Sketch your result for v(t). (c) Suppose that F/m0 = 10 m/s2 ( ≈ g on Earth). How much time is required for the particle to reach half the speed of light and of 99% the speed of light?arrow_forwardCalculate the momentum of a proton moving with a speed of (a) 0.010c, (b) 0.50c, (c) 0.90c. (d) Convert the answers of (a)(c) to MeV/c.arrow_forwardA particle is moving at a speed less than c/2. If the speed of the particle is doubled, what happens to its momentum?arrow_forward
- A spacecraft is launched from the surface of the Earth with a velocity of 0.600c at an angle of 50.0° above the horizontal, positive x-axis. Another spacecraft is moving past with a velocity of 0.700c in the negative x direction. Determine the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the first spacecraft as measured by the pilot of the second spacecraft.arrow_forwardAs measured by observers in a reference frame S, a particle having charge q moves with velocity v in a magnetic field B and an electric field E. The resulting force on the particle is then measured to be F = q(E + v × B). Another observer moves along with the charged particle and measures its charge to be q also but measures the electric field to be E′. If both observers are to measure the same force, F, show that E′ = E + v × B.arrow_forwardGive a physical argument showing that it is impossible to accelerate an object of mass m to the speed of light, even with a continuous force acting on it.arrow_forward
- An object having mass 900 kg and traveling at speed 0.850c collides with a stationary object having mass 1 400 kg. The two objects stick together. Find (a) the speed and (b) the mass of the composite object.arrow_forwardOwen and Dina are at rest in frame S, which is moving at 0.600c with respect to frame S. They play a game of catch while Ed, at rest in frame S, watches the action (Fig. P9.63). Owen throws the ball to Dina at 0.800c (according to Owen), and their separation (measured in S) is equal to 1.80 1012 m. (a) According to Dina, how fast is the ball moving? (b) According to Dina, what time interval is required for the ball to reach her? According to Ed, (c) how far apart are Owen and Dina, (d) how fast is the ball moving, and (e) what time interval is required for the ball to reach Dina?

- Two powerless rockets are on a collision course. The rockets are moving with speeds of 0.800c and 0.600c and are initially 2.52 × 1012 m apart as measured by Liz, an Earth observer, as shown in Figure P1.34. Both rockets are 50.0 m in length as measured by Liz. (a) What are their respective proper lengths? (b) What is the length of each rocket as measured by an observer in the other rocket? (c) According to Liz, how long before the rockets collide? (d) According to rocket 1, how long before they collide? (e) According to rocket 2, how long before they collide? (f) If both rocket crews are capable of total evacuation within 90 min (their own time), will there be any casualties? Figure P1.34arrow_forwardAs seen from Earth, two spaceships A and B are approaching along perpendicular directions. If A is observed by an Earth observer to have velocity uy = 0.90c and B to have a velocity ux = +0.90c, find the speed of ship A as measured by the pilot of B.arrow_forwardYou measure the volume of a cube at rest to be V0. You then measure the volume of the same cube as it passes you in a direction parallel to one side of the cube. The speed of the cube is 0.980c, so 5. Is the volume you measure close to (a) V0/25, (b) V0/5, (c) V0, (d) 5V0, or (e) 25V0?arrow_forward
