The plane of clocks and measuring rods in Fig. 37-19 is like that in Fig. 37-3. The clocks along the x axis are separated (center to center) by 1light-second, as are the clocks along the y axis, and all the clocks are synchronized via the procedure described in Module 37-1. When the initial synchronizing signal of t = 0 from the origin reaches (a) clock A, (b) clock B, and (c) clock C, what initial time is then set on those clocks? An event occurs at clock A when it reads 10 s. (d) how long does the signal of that event take to travel to an observer stationed at the origin? (e) What time does that observer assign to the event?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The initial time set in clock A is t=4s.

b) The initial time set in clock B is t=3s.

c) The initial time set in clock C ist=5s .

d) The time taken by signal to reach origin from clock A ist=4s .

e) The time assigned by the observer stationed at the origin is t=14s.

Step by step solution

01

 Step 1: Identification of given data

The given data can be listed below,

  • The clocks are separated by the time of1s
02

Concept/Significance of time dilation

Time dilation is the difference in the amount of time that has passed since an event according to several observers. Either gravity or relativistic velocity is responsible for this time dilation.

03

Determination of the initial time set on clock A

The beginning time must be 4 seconds since the signal will travel 4light seconds to reach clock A, whenthe time at the origin, for the initial synchronizing signal ist=0 .

Thus, the initial time set at clock A is 4s.

04

Determination of the initial time set on clock B

The initial time must be 3 s since the signal must travel 3 light seconds to approach clock B when the time at origin, for the initial synchronizing signal is t=0.

Thus, the initial time set at clock B is 3s.

05

Determination of the initial time set on clock C

The distance between the origin and clock A is 4 light-seconds, the distance between the origin and clock B is 3 light-seconds, so, the distance between the origin and clock C is

42+32light-second=5light-second

Thus, the initial time set at clock C is 5s.

06

Determination of the initial time that a signal of that event take to travel to an observer stationed at the origin

The signal will take to reach the origin from the clock A. As the distance between the clock A and the origin is 4light-seconds.

07

Determination of the time does the observer assign to the event.

As the signal starts from clock A at t=10s, the time assigned by the observer, stationed at the origin, to the signal will be-

t'=10s+4s=14s

Thus, the time assigned by the observer will be t'=14s.

Figure 37-16 shows a ship (attached to reference frame S') passing us (standing in reference frame S) with velocity v=0.950ci^. A proton is fired at speed 0.980c relative to the ship from the front of the ship to the rear. The proper length of the ship is 760鈥尘 . What is the temporal separation between the time the proton is fired and the time it hits the rear wall of the ship according to (a) a passenger in the ship and (b) us? Suppose that, instead, the proton is fired from the rear to the front. What then is the temporal separation between the time it is fired and the time it hits the front wall according to (c) the passenger and (d) us?

A spaceship at rest in a certain reference frame S is given a speed increment of 0.50c. Relative to its new rest frame, it is then given a further 0.50c increment. This process is continued until its speed with respect to its original frame S exceeds 0.999c. How many increments does this process require?

The total energy of a proton passing through a laboratory apparatus is 10.611-nJ. What is its speed parameter ? Use the proton mass given in Appendix B under 鈥淏est Value,鈥 not the commonly remembered rounded number.

Question: (a) The energy released in the explosion of 1.00 molof TNT is 340 mJ. The molar mass of TNT is. What weight of TNT is0.227kJ/molneeded for an explosive release of 1.801014J? (b) Can you carry that weight in a backpack, or is a truck or train required? (c) Suppose that in an explosion of a fission bomb, 0.080%of the fissionable mass is converted to released energy. What weight of fissionable material is needed for an explosive release of 1.801014J? (d) Can you carry that weight in a backpack, or is a truck or train required?

While on board a star ship, you intercept signals from four shuttle craft that are moving either directly toward or directly away from you. The signals have the same proper frequency fo. The speed and direction (both relative to you) of the shuttle craft are (a) 0.3c toward, (b) 0.6c toward, (c) 0.3c away, and (d) 0.6c away. Rank the shuttle craft according to the frequency you receive, greatest first.
