Chapter 37: Q6Q (page 1144)

Sam leaves Venus in a spaceship headed to Mars and passes Sally, who is on Earth, with a relative speed of 0.5c . (a) Each measures the Venus鈥揗ars voyage time. Who measures a proper time: Sam, Sally, or neither? (b) On the way, Sam sends a pulse of light to Mars. Each measures the travel time of the pulse. Who measures a proper time: Sam, Sally, or neither?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The Sam measures the proper time.

(b) Neither, Same nor sally can鈥檛 measure the proper time.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

Sam leaves Venus headed to Mars.

The relative speed of the sally is 0.5c.

02

Determine who measures the proper time for Venus- mars voyage time.

(a)

Sam is moving from Venus to mars;therefore, he can measure the time of the whole trip by using only one clock but sally is stationary on the earth, therefore she required two clocks to measure the complete time, one clock which measures the time for counting on Venus and other for stopping count on Mars.

Hence Sam measures the proper time.

03

Determine who measures the proper time when Sam sendsa pulse of light to Mars.

(b)

Since Sam and Sally are stationary relative to the light beam and their relative speed is the same which is 0.5c. Therefore, they cannot measure the time by using a single clock.

Hence neither Same nor sally can鈥檛 measure the proper time.

Question:As you read this page (on paper or monitor screen), a cosmic ray proton passes along the left鈥搑ight width of the page with relative speed v and a total energy of 14.24 nJ. According to your measurements, that left鈥搑ight width is 21.0 cm. (a) What is the width according to the proton鈥檚 reference frame? How much time did the passage take according to (b) your frame and (c) the proton鈥檚 frame?

Question: In Module 28-4, we showed that a particle of charge and mass will move in a circle of radiusr=mv/|q|Bwhen its velocity is perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field . We also found that the period T of the motion is independent of speed v. These two results are approximately correct if v<<c . For relativistic speeds, we must use the correct equation for the radius:

r=p|q|B=纬mv|q|B

(a) Using this equation and the definition of period (T=2螤r/v), find the correct expression for the period. (b) Is independent of v? If a 10.0 MeV electron moves in a circular path in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 2.20T, what are (c) the radius according to Chapter 28, (d) the correct radius, (e) the period according to Chapter 28, and (f) the correct period?

Question: What is尾 for a particle with (a) K=2.00Eoand (b)E=2.00Eo ?

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) 尾AC, and (c) the velocity of the particle relative to frame C?

Figure 37-21 shows one of four star cruisers that are in a race. As each cruiser passes the starting line, a shuttle craft leaves the cruiser and races toward the finish line. You, judging the race, are stationary relative to the starting and finish lines. The speeds vc of the cruisers relative to you and the speeds of the shuttle craft relative to their respective starships are, in that order, (1) 0.70c, 0.40c; (2) 0.40c, 0.70c; (3) 0.20c, 0.90c; (4) 0.50c, 0.60c. (a) Rank the shuttle craft according to their speeds relative to you, greatest first. (b) Rank the shuttle craft according to the distances their pilots measure from the starting line to the finish line, greatest first. (c) Each starship sends a signal to its shuttle craft at a certain frequency f0 as measured on board the starship. Rank the shuttle craft according to the frequencies they detect, greatest first.
