• 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

A) How fast would your car have to be moving for an observer on the ground to find your car shorter than your garage? Express your answer as a multiple of c. B) When you are driving at this speed, how long is your garage, as measured in the car's frame of reference? Express your answer in meters.arrow_forwardWhat is the velocity of an electron that has a momentum of 3.04×10-21?kg·m/s?

- Two atomic clocks are synchronized. One is placed on a satellite, which orbits around the earth at high speed for a whole year. The other is placed in a lab and remains at rest, with respect to the earth. You may assume that both clocks can measure time accurately to many significant digits. a. Will the two clocks still be synchronized after one year? Explain your reasoning. b. Imagine that the speed of light was much slower than its actual value. How would the results of this experiment change if the speed of light was only twice the average speed of the satellite? Explain your reasoning, using a calculation.arrow_forwardRelativity Factor Equation: Can you show the algebraic steps to isolate only the speed (v)?

An electron has a total energy of 5.8×105eV. What is its speed? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Part B Derive an expression for the speed of a particle of rest mass m0 in terms of its total energy E. Part C What is the speed of a particle if its total energy is equal to twice the rest mass energy?arrow_forwardPlease help!! Urgent!! You are playing pool and decide to practice your ability to make trick shots. In this trick shot you are attempting to strike an object ball with the cue ball while the object ball is moving and make the shot. If the object ball is moving directly from you at a speed of 0.10 m/s and you strike the cue ball at 0.50 m/s directly in line with the object ball, then after the cue ball and object ball collide, how fast will they be moving apart relative to one another? Previous answer someone gave me was two answers and I only need one!! Please help!!arrow_forwardplease help: A rectangular painting is 112 cm wide and 77.4 cm high, as indicated below At what speed, v, must the painting move parallel to its width if it is to appear to be square?

- 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?
