Textbook Question
Chapter S2, Problem 50EAP
Time Dilation.
- A student, after learning about the theory of relativity, decides to try to prolong his life by spending the rest of his life traveling in a car at 55 miles per hour (89 km/hr). If he does this while 70 years pass in his house, how much time will pass in the car? (Hint: If you are unable to find a difference, be sure to explain why.)
- A more clever student decides to prolong her life by cruising among the stars at a speed of 0.95c. How much time will pass on her spacecraft during a period in which 70 years pass on Earth? Will she feel as if her life span has been extended? Explain.
- Suppose you stay home on Earth while your twin sister takes a trip to a distant star and back in a spaceship that travels at 99% of the
speed of light . If both of you are 25 years old when she leaves and you are 45 years old when she returns, how old is your sister when she gets back?

A cylinder with a piston contains 0.153 mol of
nitrogen at a pressure of 1.83×105 Pa and a
temperature of 290 K. The nitrogen may be
treated as an ideal gas. The gas is first compressed
isobarically to half its original volume. It then
expands adiabatically back to its original volume,
and finally it is heated isochorically to its original
pressure.

- Learning Goal: To understand the meaning and the basic applications of pV diagrams for an ideal gas. As you know, the parameters of an ideal gas are described by the equation pV = nRT, where p is the pressure of the gas, V is the volume of the gas, n is the number of moles, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature of the gas. It follows that, for a portion of an ideal gas, pV = constant. Τ One can see that, if the amount of gas remains constant, it is impossible to change just one parameter of the gas: At least one more parameter would also change. For instance, if the pressure of the gas is changed, we can be sure that either the volume or the temperature of the gas (or, maybe, both!) would also change. To explore these changes, it is often convenient to draw a graph showing one parameter as a function of the other.

- 4. I've assembled the following assortment of point charges (-4 μC, +6 μC, and +3 μC) into a rectangle, bringing them together from an initial situation where they were all an infinite distance away from each other. Find the electric potential at point "A" (marked by the X) and tell me how much work it would require to bring a +10.0 μC charge to point A if it started an infinite distance away (assume that the other three charges remains fixed). 300 mm -4 UC "A" 0.400 mm +6 UC +3 UC 5. It's Friday night, and you've got big party plans. What will you do? Why, make a capacitor, of course! You use aluminum foil as the plates, and since a standard roll of aluminum foil is 30.5 cm wide you make the plates of your capacitor each 30.5 cm by 30.5 cm. You separate the plates with regular paper, which has a thickness of 0.125 mm and a dielectric constant of 3.7. What is the capacitance of your capacitor?
