Anna and Bob are In identical spaceships, each 100 m long. The diagram shows Bob's, view as Anna's ship passes at 0.8c. Just as the backs of the ships pass one another, both clocks.there read O. At the instant shown, Bob Jr., on board Bob's ship, is aligned with the very front of Anna's ship. He peers through a window in Anna's ship and looks at the clock. (a) In relation to his own ship, where is Bob Jr? (b) What does the clock he sees read?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Bob Jr is 60mbehind his own ship.

(b) The reading of clock for Bob Jr is26710-9s.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given information

The given data can be written as:

  • The length of each spaceship is x'=100m.
  • The speed of Anna鈥檚 spaceship is v=0.8c.
02

Significance of the relative motion

The relative motion between Anna and Bob is used to calculate the position of Bob and reading of the clock by Bob Jr. The formula of time dilation and length contraction is used for the calculation.

03

(a) Determine the position of Bob Jr

x=x'1-v2c2

Substitute all the values in the above equation,

x=100m1-0.8c2c2x=60m

Therefore, Bob Jr is data-custom-editor="chemistry" 60mbehind his own spaceship.

04

(b) Determine the reading of clock

t'=11-v2c2-vxc2+t

Here, v is the speed of spaceship, c is the speed of light, x is the length of each spaceship.

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

t'=11-0.8c2c2-0.8c60mc2+0t'=1.67-0.8c60mc3108m/sct'=26710-9s

Therefore, the reading of clock for Bob Jr is 26710-9s.

How fast must an object be moving for its kinetic energy to equal its internal energy?

Through a window in Carl's spaceship, passing al 0.5c, you watch Carl doing an important physics calculation. By your watch it takes him 1 min. How much time did Carl spend on his calculation?

You are on a high-speed train, travelling at a decent clip: 0.8C . On the ground are two signal stations 5km apart, each with a status-reporting sign, which always give simultaneous reports. At precisely noon on the train鈥檚 clocks, the conductor at the front of the train passes one station and sees a sign reading 鈥淎ll clear,鈥 and another employee at the back passes the other station and sees a sign reading 鈥淪evere Electrical Storms Reported! Slow to 0.1c !鈥 (a) How long is the train? (b) Should it slow down? (c) Suppose that both reporting signs display the time very precisely, updated every microsecond. By how much would the two observed time readings differ, if at all?

According to an observer at Earth's equator, by how much would his clock and one on a satellite in geosynchronous orbit differ in one day? (Geosynchronous orbit means an orbit period of one day-always in the same place in the sky)

Consider the collision of two particles, each of mass mo. In experiment A, a particle moving at 0.9cstrikes a stationary particle.

  1. What is the total kinetic energy before the collision?
  2. In experiment B, both particles are moving at a speed u(relative to the lab), directly towards one another. If the total kinetic energy before the collision in experiment B is the same as that in experiment A, what is u?
  3. In both particles, the particles stick together. Find the mass of the resulting single particle in each experiment. In which is more of the initial kinetic energy converted to mass?
