Chapter 36, Problem 19P
(I) Suppose in Fig. 36–11 that the origins of S and S′ overlap at t = t′ = 0 and that S′ moves at speed v = 30 m/s with respect to S. In S′, a person is resting at a point whose coordinates are x′ = 25 m, y′ = 20 m, and z′ = 0. Calculate this person’s coordinates in S (x, y, z) at (a) t = 3.5 s. (b) t = 10.0 s. Use the Galilean transformation.

- According to special relativity, a rod of length L moving at velocity v will
shorten by an amount 8, given by:
- <(1-
8 =
where c is the speed of light (about 300 x 106 m/s). Consider a rod of 2 m
long, and make three plots of & as a function of v for 0svs 300 x 106 m/s. In
the first plot use linear scale for both axes. In the second plot use logarithmic
scale for v and linear scale for 8, and in the third plot use logarithmic scale for
both v and 8."

- A 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_forwardRepeat the preceding problem with the ship heading directly away from the Earth.arrow_forwardAs 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_forward
- Two astronomical events are observed to occur at a time of 0.30 s apart and a distance separation of 2.0109m from each other. How fast must a spacecraft travel from the site of one event toward the other to make the events occur at the same time when measured in the frame of reference of the spacecraft?arrow_forwardTwo spaceships approach each other, each moving with the same speed as measured by an observer on the Earth. If their relative speed is 0.70c, what is the speed of each spaceship?arrow_forward. A compact neutron star has a mass of kg (about 1.4 times the mass of the Sun) but a radius of only m (approximately 6.2 mi!). If a clock on the surface of this exotic star marks the passage of 1 h of time, how much time is observed to pass on an identical clock located a very large distance from the neutron star?arrow_forward
- You measure the volume of a cube at rest to be V0. You then measure the volume of the same cube as it passes you in a direction parallel to one side of the cube. The speed of the cube is 0.980c, so 5. Is the volume you measure close to (a) V0/25, (b) V0/5, (c) V0, (d) 5V0, or (e) 25V0?arrow_forwardA spacecraft moves at a speed of 0.900c.

Suppose Earth astronomers see two novas occur simultaneously, one in the constellation Orion (The Hunter) and the other in the constellation Lyra (The Lyre). Both nova are the same distance from Earth, 2.5 x 10^3 c · y, and are in exactly opposite directions from Earth. Observers on board an aircraft flying at 1000 km/h on a line from Orion toward Lyra see the same novas but note that they are not simultaneous. (a) For the observers on the aircraft, how much time separates the novas? (b) Which one occurs first? (Assume Earth is an inertial reference frame.)arrow_forward
