TRUE OR FALSE. An object seen by the human eye remains chemically mapped on the eye's retina for a brief time after viewing. This phenomenon is called phi. TRUE OR FALSE. The human mind needs to conceptually complete a perceived action. This phenomenon is called phi. TRUE OR FALSE. Anything less than 12fps will be smooth motion as the eye is able to detect the changes from one frame to the next.

A rectangular painting measures 1.00 m tall and 1.50 m wide, Fig. a. It is hung on the side wall of a spaceship which is moving past the Earth at a speed of 0.90c. (a) What are the dimensions of the picture according to the captain of the spaceship? (b) What are thedimensions as seen by an observer on the Earth? (L=L0*√1 − (?)2 )
You encounter a moving walkway that is 75 mm long and has a speed of 1.9 m/sm/s relative to the ground.How long would it take you to cover the 75 mm length of the walkway if, once you get on the walkway, you turn around and start walking in the opposite direction with a speed of 1.4m/s relative to the walkway?
A soccer team trains in the soccer stadium in preparation for their upcomingcompetition. One of the members kicks the ball to his colleague, and the time inbetween the kick and receive was measured to have occurred in 0.89 s. If an observerflying above the stadium with a speed of 0.6 times the speed of light. What is the timebetween the two events as seen by the observer?
A rocket of mass 1.40 ? 10^5 kg has a relativistic momentum and the magnitude of which is 3.15 ? 10^13 ?? · ?/?. How fast is the rocket traveling?
An atomic clock is placed in a jet airplane. The clock measures a time interval of 3600 s when the jet moves with a speed of 400 m/s. How much longer or shorter a time interval does an identical clock held by an observer on the ground measure? (Hint: For , γ ≈ 1 + v2/2c2.)
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?
(a) How fast would an athlete need to be running for a 100-m race to look 100 yd long? (b) Is the answer consistent with the fact that relativistic effects are difficult to observe in ordinary circumstances? Explain.
The truck in Figure P39.1 is moving at a speed of 10.0 m/s relative to the ground. The person on the truck throws a baseball in the backward direction at a speed of 20.0 m/s relative to the truck. What is the velocity of the baseball as measured by the observer on the ground? Figure P39.1
Suppose an astronaut is moving relative to Earth at a significant fraction of the speed of light. (a) Does he observe the rate of his to have slowed? (b) What change in the rate of earthbound does he see? (c) Does his ship seem to him to shorten? (d) What about the distance between two stars that lie in the direction of his motion? (e) Do he and an earthbound observer agree on his velocity relative to Earth?
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.)
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.
A spaceship, 200 m long as. seen on board, moves by the Earth at 0.970c. What is its length as measured by an earthbound observer?
