A short time later, the flashes from the two explosions arrive at Peggy at the same time.a. Were the explosions simultaneous in Peggy’s reference frame? If not, which exploded first? Explain.b. Were the explosions simultaneous in Ryan’s reference frame. If not, which exploded first? Explain.
A jetliner has an air speed of 500 mph. A 200-mph wind is blowing fromwest to east.(a) The pilot heads due north. In what direction does the plane fly, and whatis its ground speed? (Hint: Define a frame of reference 5' that moves with the wind. In Sf there is no wind; hence the plane always moves in the direction it isheaded, at 500 mph. Use the velocity transformation to find the components ofthe plane's velocity in the ground frame.)(b) In what direction should the pilot head in order to fly due north? What isthe plane's ground speed in this case?
You wish to make a round trip from Earth in a spaceship, traveling at constant speed in a straight line for exactly 6 months (as you measure the time interval) and then returning at the same constant speed.You wish further, on your return, to find Earth as it will be exactly 1000 years in the future. (a) To eight significant figures, at what speed parameter b must you travel? (b) Does it matter whether you travel in a straight line on your journey?

- Quite apart from effects due to Earth’s rotational and orbital motions, a laboratory reference frame is not strictly an inertial frame because a particle at rest there will not, in general, remain at rest; it will fall. Often, however, events happen so quickly that we can ignore the gravitational acceleration and treat the frame as inertial. Consider, for example, an electron of speed v =0.992c, projected horizontally into a laboratory test chamber and moving through a distance of 20 cm. (a) How long would that take, and (b) how far would the electron fall during this interval? (c) What can you conclude about the suitability of the laboratory as an inertial frame in this case?arrow_forwardA. Two balls move as shown in the figure.
