Joe and Moe are twins. In the laboratory frame at location S1 (2.00 km, 0.200 km, 0.150 km). Joe shoots a picture for aduration of t= 12.0 s. For the same duration as measured inthe laboratory frame, at location S2 (1.00 km, 0.200 km,0.300 km), Moe also shoots a picture. Both Joe and Moe begintaking their pictures at t = 0 in the laboratory frame. Determine the duration of each event as measured by an observer ina frame moving at a speed of 2.00 108 m/s along the x axisin the positive x direction. Assume that at t = t = 0, the origins of the two frames coincide.
An observer in a rocket moves toward a mirror at speed v relative to the reference frame labeled by S in Figure P1.30. The mirror is stationary with respect to S. A light pulse emitted by the rocket travels toward the mirror and is reflected back to the rocket. The front of the rocket is a distance d from the mirror (as measured by observers in S) at the moment the light pulse leaves the rocket. What is the total travel time of the pulse as measured by observers in (a) the S frame and (b) the front of the rocket? Figure P1.30
A charged particle moves along a straight line in a uniform electric field E with a speed v. If the motion and the electric field are both in the x direction, (a) show that the magnitude of the acceleration of the charge q is given by a=dvdt=qEm(1v2c2)3/2 (b) Discuss the significance of the dependence of the acceleration on the speed.

A proton initially moves left to right long the x axis at a speed of 9,070 m/s. It moves into an electric field, which points in the negative x direction, and travels a distance of 0.7 m before coming to rest. If the proton's mass and charge are 1.67 × 10−27 kg and 1.60 × 10−19 C respectively, what is the magnitude of the electric field?
A stationary proton is located on the z-axis at z =a . A negative muon is moving with speed 0.8c along the x-axis.

Earth astronomers measure that two novas (sudden brightening of a star) occur simultaneously, one in the constellation Orion and the other in the constellation Lyra. Each is 2.5×103c·y from Earth, but in opposite directions. Observers in aspacecraft flying at 1000 km/h on a line from Orion to Lyra measure one nova to occurbefore the other. (a) Which nova occurs first? (b) How much time separates the twonovas? Assume Earth is an inertial reference frame.
