Chapter 37: 4P (page 1145)

(Come) back to the future. Suppose that a father is 20.00 y older than his daughter. He wants to travel outward from Earth for 2.000 y and then back for another 2.000 y (both intervals as he measures them) such that he is then 20.00 y younger than his daughter. What constant speed parameter 尾 (relative to Earth) is required?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed parameter is 0.9949 .

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The duration of travel for father from Earth is t0=2y

The difference in age before and after travel for father is t=20y

The Lorentz factor is used to find the speed parameter which is the ratio of the speed of particle with speed of light.

02

Determination of speed parameter relative to Earth 

The speed parameter for travel is given as:

尾=1-2t02t2

Substitute all the values in equation.

尾=1-22y220y2尾=0.9949

Therefore, the speed parameter is 0.9949.

An armada of spaceships that is 1.00 ly long (as measured in its rest frame) moves with speed 0.800c relative to a ground station in frame S.A messenger travels from the rear of the armada to the front with a speed of 0.950c relative to S. How long does the trip take as measured (a) in the rest frame of the messenger, (b) in the rest frame of the armada, and (c) by an observer in the ground frame S?

A particle moves along the x' axis of frame S' with velocity 0.40c. Frame S' moves with velocity 0.60c with respect to frame S. What is the velocity of the particle with respect to frame S?

You wish to make a round trip from Earth in a spaceship, traveling at constant speed in a straight line for exactly 6 months (as you measure the time interval) and then returning at the same constant speed. You wish further, on your return, to find Earth as it will be exactly 1000 years in the future. (a) To eight significant figures, at what speed parameter 尾must you travel? (b) Does it matter whether you travel in a straight line on your journey?
