Continuation of Problem 65. Use the result of part (b) in Problem 65 for the motion along a single axis in the following situation. Frame A in Fig. 37-31 is attached to a particle that moves with velocity +0.500c past frame B, which moves past frame C with a velocity of +0.500c. What are (a) MAC, (b) βAC, and (c) the velocity of the particle relative to frame C?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The value of MACis19 .

(b) The value of βACis 0.79.

(c) The velocity of the particle relative to frame C is 2.3×108″¾/²õ.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below as:

  • The velocity of the particle while passing frame A is v1=+0.500c.
  • The velocity of the particle while passing frame B isv2=+0.500c .
02

Significance of the motion of a particle

The motion of a particle is mainly the superposition of the components of a particle because of fluid drag. The motion of the particle is also called as the Brownian motion.

03

Determination of the value of MAC

(a)

Due to pretty symmetry and also because of the part computation, the value of MAB is expressed as:

MAB=1−βAB1+βAB

The value of role="math" localid="1663057884603" βABis given 0.5in the problem statement.

Substitute0.5forβABin the above equation.

MAB=1−0.51+0.5=0.51.5=13

Similarly, the value of MBCwill be13as the values are same for it.

The equation of MACis expressed as:

MAC=MAB×MBC

Substitute13forMBCandMABin the above equation.

MAC=13×13=19

Thus, the value of MACis 19.

04

Determination of the value of  βAC

(b)

The equation of the value of βACis expressed as:

βAC=1−MAC1+MAC

Substitute19 forMAC in the above equation.

βAC=1−191+19=0.881.11=0.79

Thus, the value of βACis 0.79.

05

Determination of the velocity of the particle

(c)

The equation of the velocity of the particle is expressed as:

v=βAC×c

Here, vis the velocity of the particle and cis the speed of light.

Substitute 0.79for βACand 3×108″¾/²õfor cin the above equation.

v=0.79×3×108″¾/²õ=2.3×108″¾/²õ

Thus, the velocity of the particle relative to frame C is 2.3×108″¾/²õ.

Particle A (with rest energy 200 MeV) is at rest in a lab frame when it decays to particle B (rest energy 100 MeV) and particle C (rest energy 50 MeV). What are the (a) total energy and (b) momentum of B and the (c) total energy and (d) momentum of C?

Question:The mass of a muon is 207 times the electron mass; the average lifetime of muons at rest is 2.20μs. In a certain experiment, muons moving through a laboratory are measured to have an average lifetime of 6.90μs. For the moving muons, what are (a) β , (b) K, and (c) p (in MeV/c)?

A spaceship whose rest length is 350 m has a speed of 0.82c with respect to a certain reference frame. A micrometeorite, also with a speed of 0.82c in this frame, passes the spaceship on an antiparallel track. How long does it take this object to pass the ship as measured on the ship?

Reference frameS'is to pass reference frame Sat speed valong the common direction of the x'and xaxes, as in Fig. 37-9. An observer who rides along with frame s'is to count off 25son his wristwatch. The corresponding time interval ∆tis to be measured by an observer in frame s. Which of the curves in Fig. 37-15 best gives ∆t(vertical axis of the graph) versus speed parameterβ?

Observer Sreports that an even occurred on thexaxis of his reference frame at x=3.00×108mat time t=2.50s. ObserverS'and her frame are moving in the positive direction of the xaxis at a speed of0.400c. Furtherx=x'=0att=t'=0. What are the (a) spatial and (b) temporal coordinate of the event according to S'? If S'were, instead, moving in the negative direction of thexaxis, what would be that (c) spatial and (d) temporal coordinate of the event according toS'?
