Chapter 1, Problem 13P

GO Three digital clocks A, B, and C run at different rates and do not have simultaneous readings of zero. Figure 1-6 shows simultaneous readings on pairs of the clocks for four occasions. (At the earliest occasion, for example. B reads 25.0 s and C reads 92.0 s.) If two events are 600 s apart on clock A, how far apart are they on (a) clock B and (b) clock C? (c) When clock A reads 400 s, what does clock B read? (d) When clock C reads 15.0 s, what does clock B read? (Assume negative readings for prezero times.)

According to the Theory of Relativity, the length of an object depends on its velocity v with respect to an observer. For an object whose length at rest is 10 m, its observed length L satisfies the equation c2L2 + 100v2 = 100c2 where c is 300,000 km/s, the speed of light. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) Express L as a function of v and c.L = 10√(c+v)(c−v)c​   (b) What is the observed length L of a meteor that is 10 m long at rest and that is traveling past the earth at 20,000 km/s?(c) What is the observed length L of a satellite that is 10 m long at rest and that is traveling at 15,000 km/s?(d) What is the net change in the observed length L of an object whose velocity changes from 15,000 km/s to 20,000 km/s?
Assume your hair grows at a rate of 1/44th of an inch per day. How fast is that in nm/s (nanometers per second)? Given that a typical atom is on the order of 1 x 10^(-10) m in diameter (see Table 1.3 on page 18 of the textbook), at approximately what rate does the protein synthesis that assembles your hair strands deposit atoms in units of atoms per second? I need the second question to be rounded to 1 significant digit.
A particle has a mass of 1.6E-27kg and a momentum of 2.2E-18 kg.m/s. What is the speed of the particle? Express your answer in units of c, the speed of light. Keep four significant digits.
