Calculate the interval Δs2 between two events with coordinates (x1 = 55m, y1 = 0m, z1 = 0m, t1 = 1 μs) and (x2 = 125m, y2 = 0m, z2 = 0m, t2 = 1.6 μs) in an inertial frame S. Now transform the coordinates of the events into the S' frame which is travelling at 0.75c along the positive x-axis with respect to frame S, thereby verifying that spacetime interval is invariant.
Calculate the interval ∆s2 between two events with coordinates ( x1 = 50 m, y1 = 0, z1 = 0,t1 = 1 µs) and (x2 = 120 m, y2 = 0, z2 = 0, t2 = 1.2 µs) in an inertial frame S. b) Now transform the coordinates of the events into the S'frame, which is travelling at 0.6calong the x-axis in a positive direction with respect to the frame S. Hence verify that thespacetime interval is invariant.
The positive muon (?+), an unstable particle, lives on average 2.20?10−16 ? (measured in its own frame of reference) before decaying. (a) If such as particle is moving, with respect to the laboratory, with a speed of 0.900?, what average lifetime is measured in the laboratory? (b) What average distance, measured in the laboratory, does the particle move before decaying?
