wo particles are traveling through space. At time tt the first particle is at the point (−4+t,3−3t,3+t) and the second particle is at (−12−t,19+t,−9−2t) Describe the two paths in words. Then determine if the two particles collide, cross, or neither cross nor collide. If they collide or their paths cross, indicate where.
Firecracker 1 is 300 m from you. Firecracker 2 is 600 m from you in the same direction. You see both explode at the same time. Define event 1 to be “firecracker 1 explodes” and event 2 to be “firecracker 2 explodes.” Does event 1 occur before, after, or at the same time as event 2? Explain.
Relativity Factor Equation: Can you show the algebraic steps to isolate only the speed (v)? Thank you.
Firecrackers 1 and 2 are 600 m apart. You are standing exactly halfway between them. Your lab partner is 300 m on the other side of firecracker 1. You see two flashes of light, from the two explosions, at exactly the same instant of time. Define event 1 to be "firecracker 1 explodes" and event 2 to be "firecracker 2 explodes." According to your lab partner, based on measurements he or she makes, does event 1 occur before, after, or at the same time as event 2? Explain clearly and with mathematics as needed
