Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers
- As measured by observers in a reference frame S, a particle having charge q moves with velocity v in a magnetic field B and an electric field E. The resulting force on the particle is then measured to be F = q(E + v × B). Another observer moves along with the charged particle and measures its charge to be q also but measures the electric field to be E′. If both observers are to measure the same force, F, show that E′ = E + v × B.arrow_forwardGive a physical argument showing that it is impossible to accelerate an object of mass m to the speed of light, even with a continuous force acting on it.arrow_forwardA spacecraft is launched from the surface of the Earth with a velocity of 0.600c at an angle of 50.0° above the horizontal, positive x-axis. Another spacecraft is moving past with a velocity of 0.700c in the negative x direction. Determine the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the first spacecraft as measured by the pilot of the second spacecraft.arrow_forward
- As measured in a laboratory reference frame, a linear accelerator ejects a proton with a speed of 0.780c. Moments later, a muon is ejected at a speed of 0.920c as measured in the laboratory reference frame. What is the speed of the proton in a reference frame where the velocity of the muon is zero?arrow_forwardA particle is moving at a speed less than c/2. If the speed of the particle is doubled, what happens to its momentum?arrow_forwardA spacecraft moves at a speed of 0.900c. If its length is L as measured by an observer on the spacecraft, what is the length measured by a ground observer?arrow_forward
- As seen from Earth, two spaceships A and B are approaching along perpendicular directions. If A is observed by an Earth observer to have velocity uy = 0.90c and B to have a velocity ux = +0.90c, find the speed of ship A as measured by the pilot of B.arrow_forwardAn electron has a speed of 0.75c. Find the speed of a proton that has (a) the same kinetic energy as the electron and (b) the same momentum as the electron.arrow_forwardWhat is the momentum of an electron travelling at 0.98c?arrow_forward
- A neutron lives 900 s when at rest relative to a observer. How fast is the neutron moving relative to a observer who measures its life span to be 2065 s?arrow_forwardAn 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.)arrow_forwardAn astronaut is traveling in a spacecraft in outer space in a straight line at a constant speed of 0.500c. Which of the following effects would she experience? (a) She would feel heavier. (b) She would find it harder to breathe. (c) Her heart rate would change. (d) Some of the dimensions of her spacecraft would be shorter. (e) None of those answers is correct.arrow_forward
