• the distance between two objects or the distance traveled by a single object? Explain.
Describe how you could use
To Draw: Spaceship A and the shuttle at their positions at time
The vectors of the following quantities in frame of spaceship B
To Explain:Whether the diagram is consistent with the fact that in its own frame of reference spaceship B is not moving.
The use of
Answer to Problem 1aT
The diagram is consistent with the fact that in its own frame of reference spaceship B is not moving. The quantity
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Spaceship A and B are moving towards each other and spaceship A releases the shuttle at time
Spaceship A and the shuttle at their positions at time
The diagram is consistent with the fact that in its own frame of reference spaceship B is not moving as the body appears to be at rest with its own frame of reference.
Diagram having following quantities
Here,
The quantity
Here,
Conclusion:
Thus, the diagram is consistent with the fact that in its own frame of reference spaceship B is not moving. The quantity
