Question

Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.

Describe the following physical occurrences as events, that is, in the form (x, y, z, t): (a) A postman rings a doorbell of a house precisely at noon. (b) At the same lime as the doorbell is lung, a slice of bread pops out of a toaster that is located 10 1T1 from the door in the east direction from the door. (c) Tell seconds later, an airplane arrives at the airport, which is 10 km from the door in the east direction and 2 km to the south.
A rod moving with a speed v along the horizontal direction is observed to have length and to make an angle with respect to the horizontal as shown in Figure P38.17. (a) Show that the length of the rod as measured by an observer at rest with respect to the rod is p = [1( v2/c2) cos2 ]1/2. (b) Show that the angle p that the rod makes with the x axis according to an observer at rest with respect to the rod can be found from tan p = tan . These results show that the rod is observed to be both contracted and rotated. (Take the lower end of the rod to be at the origin of the coordinate system in which the rod is at rest.)
Suppose the primed and laboratory observers want to measure the length of a rod that rests on the ground horizontally in the space between the helicopter and the tower (Fig. 39.8B). To derive the length transformation L = L (Eq. 39.5), we had to assume that the positions of the two ends were determined simultaneously. What happens to the length transformation equation if both observers measure the end below the helicopter at one time t1 and the other end at a later time t2?
How long should it take the voices of astronauts on the Moon to reach the Earth? Assume that the only significant time is the transit time from the Earth to the Moon, at the speed of light.

The distance between the centers of the Earth and the Moon is 384×103km, the radius of the Earth is 6.38×103km, the radius of the Moon is 1.74×103km.
