Chapter 2: Q42E (page 64)

A pion is an elementary particle that on average disintegrates 2.6脳10-8safter creation in a frame at rest relative to the pion. An experimenter finds that pions created in the laboratory travel 13m on average before disintegrating. How fast are the pions traveling through the lab?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of pion disintegration is 2.57脳108m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

The disintegration duration for pion is t=2.6x10-8s

The average distance travelled by pion in labis L = 13 m.

02

Definition of Time Dilation

The difference in the observed time and actual time of event due to the relative movement between observer and frame is called the time dilation.

03

Determination of speed of the pions

The speed of pion disintegration is given as:

v=Lt2Lc2

Substitute all the values in the above equation.

v=13m2.6脳10-8s2+13m3脳108m/s2v=2.57脳108m/s

Therefore, the speed of pion disintegration is 2.57脳108m/s.

In Example 2.5, we noted that Anna could go wherever she wished in as little time as desired by going fast enough to length-contract the distance to an arbitrarily small value. This overlooks a physiological limitation. Accelerations greater than about 30gare fatal, and there are serious concerns about the effects of prolonged accelerations greater than 1g. Here we see how far a person could go under a constant acceleration of 1g, producing a comfortable artificial gravity.

(a) Though traveller Anna accelerates, Bob, being on near-inertial Earth, is a reliable observer and will see less time go by on Anna's clock (dt')than on his own (dt). Thus, dt'=(1y)dt, where u is Anna's instantaneous speed relative to Bob. Using the result of Exercise 117(c), with g replacing Fm, substitute for u, then integrate to show that t=cgsinhgt'c.

(b) How much time goes by for observers on Earth as they 鈥渟ee鈥� Anna age 20 years?

(c) Using the result of Exercise 119, show that when Anna has aged a time t', she is a distance from Earth (according to Earth observers) of x=c2g(coshgt'c-1).

(d) If Anna accelerates away from Earth while aging 20 years and then slows to a stop while aging another 20. How far away from Earth will she end up and how much time will have passed on Earth?

By how much (in picograms) does the mass of 1 mol of ice at 0掳Cdiffer from that of 1 mol of water at 0掳C?

Question: Show that equation (2-36) follows from the arbitrary four-vector Lorentz transformation equations (2-35).

The diagram shows Bob's view of the passing of two identical spaceship. Anna's and his own, where 纬v=2. The length of either spaceship in its rest frame is . What are the readings on Anna', two unlabelled clocks?

From a standstill. you begin jogging at5m/s directly toward the galaxy Centaurus A. which is on the horizon 2脳1023maway.

(a) There is a clock in Centaurus A. According to you. How Will readings on this clock differ before and after you begin jogging? (Remember: You change
frames.)

(b) The planet Neptune is between Earth and Centaurus 4.5脳109mis from Earth- How much readings a clock there differ?

(c)What would the time differences if had instead begun jogging in the opposite direction?

(d) What these results tell you about the observations of a traveling twin who accelerates toward his Earth-bound twin? How would these observation depend on the distance the twins?
