Worldlines at High Speed. Make a spacetime diagram on which the time axis is marked in seconds and the space axis is marked in light-seconds. Assume you are floating weightlessly and therefore consider yourself at rest.
- Draw your own worldline.
- Draw a worldline for Sebastian, who is moving to your right at 0.5c.
- Draw a worldline for Michaela, who is moving to your left at 0.7c.
- Draw a worldline for Angela, who is traveling away from you at a speed of 100,000 km/s.

Is work function of a metals surface related to surface energy and surface tension? What is the need to the work function component in the math of tension of metal surfaces that cannot be provided by existing equations of surface energy and surface tension? What are the key differences in each parameter and variables that allow for a differentiation of each function? What has a more significant meaning work function, surface tension or surface energy? Are there real differences and meaning? Please clarify and if possible provide examples . Does surface tension dependant on thickness of a metal or type of metal surface all having the same thickness? Clearly temperature has a profound change on surface tension what other variables besides temperature are key to surface tension. What if any is there a connection between crystal structure of the element and surface energy and tension? This is NOT a Assignment Question!!!
