Answer

  1. The value ofis, 0.707.
  2. The value of is, 1.414.
  3. The value ofKEo is, 0.414.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Identification of the given data

The particle鈥檚 momentum magnitude is mc.

02

Lorentz factor and speed parameter.

The Lorentz factor depends only on velocity and not on the particle鈥檚 mass and it is expressed as

=11-2

is called the speed parameter which is ratio of speed of particle to speed of light.

.=V/C

03

Step 3(a and b): Solve the relativistic momentum equation for the given case.

It is given that a particle鈥檚 momentum magnitude is mc . The relativistic momentum relation is given by

p=mv

Putting the given momentum in above expression, we get

mc=mvv=cvc=1=1 鈥 (1)

We know that the Lorentz factor depends only on velocity and not on the particle鈥檚 mass and it is expressed as

=11-2

Inserting this in equation (1), we get

1-2=12=1-2=12=0.707

Hence the value of is, 0.707.

Putting the value of in the equation (1),

=1=10.707=1.414

The value of is, 0.414.

04

Step 4(c): Determine the ratio K/E0.

The relativistic kinetic energy relation is given by

K=-1mc2=-1EoKEo=-1

Substitute all value in the above equation

KEo=1.414-=0.414

Hence the value of KEois,0.414 .

And thus, all the required values are determined.

In a high-energy collision between a cosmic-ray particle and a particle near the top of Earth鈥檚 atmosphere, 120 km above sea level, a pion is created. The pion has a total energy E of 1.35105MeVand is travelling vertically downward. In the pion鈥檚 rest frame, the pion decays 35.0 ns after its creation. At what altitude above sea level, as measured from Earth鈥檚 reference frame, does the decay occur? The rest energy of a pion is 139.6 MeV.

An electron of =0.9999987moves along the axis of an evacuated tube that has a length of 3.00 m as measured by a laboratory observer S at rest relative to the tube. An observer S鈥 who is at rest relative to the electron, however, would see this tube moving with speed v ( =C).What length would observer S鈥 measure for the tube?

The length of a spaceship is measured to be exactly half its rest length. (a) To three significant figures, what is the speed parameter of the spaceship relative to the observer鈥檚 frame? (b) By what factor do the spaceship鈥檚 clocks run slow relative to clocks in the observer鈥檚 frame?

The car-in-the-garage problem. Carman has just purchased the world鈥檚 longest stretch limo, which has a proper length of Lc=30.5鈥尘. In Fig. 37-32a, it is shown parked in front of a garage with a proper length of Lg=6.00鈥尘. The garage has a front door (shown open) and a back door (shown closed).The limo is obviously longer than the garage. Still, Garageman, who owns the garage and knows something about relativistic length contraction, makes a bet with Carman that the limo can fit in the garage with both doors closed. Carman, who dropped his physics course before reaching special relativity, says such a thing, even in principle, is impossible.

To analyze Garageman鈥檚 scheme, an xc axis is attached to the limo, with xc=0 at the rear bumper, and an xg axis is attached to the garage, with xg=0 at the (now open) front door. Then Carman is to drive the limo directly toward the front door at a velocity of 0.9980c(which is, of course, both technically and financially impossible). Carman is stationary in the xcreference frame; Garageman is stationary in the role="math" localid="1663064422721" Xgreference frame.

There are two events to consider. Event 1: When the rear bumper clears the front door, the front door is closed. Let the time of this event be zero to both Carman and Garageman: tg1=tc1=0. The event occurs at xg=xc=0. Figure 37-32b shows event 1 according to the xg reference frame. Event 2: When the front bumper reaches the back door, that door opens. Figure 37-32c shows event 2 according to the xg reference frame.

According to Garageman, (a) what is the length of the limo, and what are the spacetime coordinates (b) xg2 and (c) tg2 of event 2? (d) For how long is the limo temporarily 鈥渢rapped鈥 inside the garage with both doors shut? Now consider the situation from the xc reference frame, in which the garage comes racing past the limo at a velocity of 0.9980c. According to Carman, (e) what is the length of the passing garage, what are the spacetime coordinates (f) Xc2and (g) tc2 of event 2, (h) is the limo ever in the garage with both doors shut, and (i) which event occurs first? (j) Sketch events 1 and 2 as seen by Carman. (k) Are the events causally related; that is, does one of them cause the other? (l) Finally, who wins the bet?

Inertial frame S'moves at a speed0.60cof with respect to frame (Fig. 37-9). Further,x=x'=0att=t'=0.Two events are recorded. In frame S , event1occurs at the origin att=0and event 2 occurs on the x axis atx=3.0kmat t=4.0s. According to the observerS' , what is the time of (a) event 1 and (b) event 2? Do the two observers see the same sequence or the reverse?
