Step by step solution

01

Expression for the Lorentz contraction:

Write the expression for the Lorentz contraction.

Y=11-v2c2 鈥︹ (1)

Here, v is the velocity, and c is the speed of light.

02

Determine the proper time τ as a function of t:

(a)

Write the expression for the velocity of a particle.

v=dx(t)dt

Substitute b2+c2t2for x(t)in the above expression.

localid="1654683753767" v=ddtb2+c2t2v=12b2+c2t2ddtb2+c2t2v=12b2+c2t22c2tv=c2tb2+c2t2

Squaring on both sides in equation (1).

2=11-v2c222=11-v2c2

Substitute c2tb2+c2t2 for v in the above expression.

localid="1654687319733" 2=11-c2tb2+c2t22c22=11-c4t2b2+c2t21c22=11-c2t2b2+c2t22=b2+c2t2b2

Write the relation between proper time and the time interval.

d=1-v2c2dt

Integrate the proper time d.

localid="1654685358421" d==1-v2c2dt=1-v2c2dt

Substitute 1-v2c2=12and 2=b2+c2t2b2in the above expression.

localid="1654685793217" =12dt=1b2+c2t2b2dt=b2b2+c2t2dt=bb2+c2t2dt

To further solve the integration,

=bcInct+b2+c2t2+k 鈥︹ (2)

It is given that:

=0then t=0

Solve as,

=bcInc0+b2+c202+k0=bcInb+kk=-bcInb

Substitute -bcInb fork in equation (2).

=bcInct+b2+c2t2-bcIn(b)=bcInc+b2+c2t2b

Therefore, the proper time as a function of tis =bcInc+b2+c2t2b.

03

Determine the x and v (ordinary velocity) as a function of τ:

(b)

Write the equation for the x ordinary velocity as a function of .

x2-b2+x=becbx2-b2=becb-x

Squaring on both sides in the above expression.

x2-b22=becb-x2x2-b2=b2e2cb+x2-2xbe2cb2xbe2cb=b21+e2cbx=b221+e2cbbe2cb

On further solving,

x=b21+e2cbe2cbx=be-cb+ecb2x=bcoshcb

As it is kown that:

v=c2tb2+c2t2v=cxx2-b2

Substitute bcoshcbfor x in the above expression.

v=cbcoshcbbcoshcb2-b2=ccosh2cb-1coshcb=csinhcbcoshcb=ctanhcb

Therefore, the x and v (ordinary velocity) as a function of is x=bcoshcband v=ctanhcbrepectively.

04

Determine ημ (proper velocity) as a function of τ:

(c)

It is known that:

=c,v,0,0

Substitute b2+c2t2bfor and ctanhcbfor v in the above equation.

=b2+c2t2bc,ctanhcb,0,0=xbc,ctanhcb,0,0=bcoshcbbc,ctanhcb,0,0=ccoshcb,sincb,0,0

Therefore, the proper velocity as a function of is

=ccoshcb,sincb,0,0.
