Albert Einstein is pondering how to write his (soonto-be-famous) equation. He knows that energy E is a function of mass m and the speed of light c, but he doesn't know the functional relationship (E = m2c? E = mc4?). Pretend that Albert knows nothing about dimensional analysis, but since you are taking a fluid mechanics class, you help Albert come up with his equation. Use the step-by-step method of repeating variables to generate a dimensionless relationship between these parameters, showing all of your work. Compare this to Einstein's famous equation—does dimensional analysis give you the correct form of the equation?

a. Calculate the interval ∆s 2 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 0 frame, which is travelling at 0.6c along the x-axis in a positive direction with respect to the frame S. Hence verify that the spacetime interval is invariant.

Consider the equation for kinetic energy: KE = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 * m * v^2. If I ask you to take the derivative of kinetic energy, you should ask "the derivative with respect to what?" a) Suppose mass m is constant. Compute the derivative of KE with respect to v, (d(KE)/dv). b) Who takes derivatives with respect to velocity? No one. Except you, just now. Sorry. The rate of change of energy with respect to time is more important: it is the Power. Now, consider velocity v to be a function of time, v(t). We will rewrite KE showing this time dependance: KE= 1/2 * m * v(t)^2. Show that (d(KE)/dt) = F(t)v(t). Hint: use Newton's second law, F = ma, to simplify. c) In the computation above, we assumed m was constant, and v was changing in time. Think of a physical situation in which both m and v are varying in time. d) Compute the Power when both mass and velocity are changing in time. (First rewrite KE(t) showing time dependence, then compute (d(KE)/dt).
