After the collision, the two balls come to rest. (a) Show that momentum is conserved in this frame. (b) Now, describe the same collision from the perspective of a frame that is moving with speed v in the direction of the motion of the first ball.

- Einstein observed an explosion at (4.0 [m] ,7.0 [m]). Schrödinger moves to the left with speed 0.75 relative to Einstein. What is the time and the location in space of the explosion according to Schrödinger? Draw a two- body spacetime diagram with Einstein as the laboratory frame observer and Schrödinger as the rocket frame observer. Indicate the explosion in the diagram. 1983arrow_forwardA light source G is moving, with respect to an observer O, at an angle 0 =117° between the direction of relative motion and the line of sight from O to G.

- I need only number 1 and 2 revise. The red color comment is written by my professor. *Please write your explain and tell me where I'm wrong and what did you change. Thank you 1. A rocket is moving at 1/4 c relative to Earth. At the center of this rocket, a light source suddenly flashes. To an observer at rest in the rocket a. the light pulse will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket. b. the light pulse will reach the front of the rocket before it reaches the back of the rocket. c. the light pulse will reach the front of the rocket after it reaches the back of the rocket. 2.

- I am struggling with getting the following done and would greatly appriciate some help, pls explain and mnake sure your answer is correct 100% pls and thank you Answer the following parts for the relativity Question Part A. 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_forwardDirections: Solve the following problems carefully. Write your detailed solutions on another sheet of paper.1. A spaceship, 200 m long as seen on board, moves by the Earth at 0.970c. What is its length as measured byan Earth-bound observer?2.
