By applying the relativistic velocity transformation to the left side of equation (2 - 23) and using the algebraic identity derived in Exercise 67, verify equation (2 - 23).

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of algebraic equation of relativistic velocity transformation is ∑iγui'miui'=γu∑iγui'miui-uγu∑iγuimi.

Step by step solution

01

Write the given data from the question.

Consider a algebraic identity isγu'=1-uxvc2γvγu.

02

Determine the formula of algebraic equation of relativistic velocity transformation.

Write the formula of algebraic equation of relativistic velocity transformation. ∑iγui'miui'=γu∑iγui'miui-uγu∑iγuimi …… (1)

Here, γui'is relativistic velocity transformation, miis mass and ui is velocity transformation.

03

Determine the value of algebraic equation of relativistic velocity transformation.

As reference of equation 2.23.

Determine the algebraic equation of relativistic velocity transformation.

Consider the LHS of the equation (1).

∑iγui'miui'

First we solve it without summation.

γu'miu'=1-uxvc2γuγum·ux-v1-uxvc2=γuγumux-γuγuvm

Now summing over whole system’s particles:

∑iγui'miui'=γu∑iγui'miui-uγu∑iγuimi

Therefore, the value of algebraic equation of relativistic velocity transformation is ∑iγui'miui'=γu∑iγui'miui-uγu∑iγuimi.

Can two moving objects of mass 2 and 3 stick together and form a single object of mass less than 5? Explain your-reasoning.

Question: Here we verify the conditions under which in equation (2-33) will be negative. (a) Show that is equivalent to the following:

vc>u0c21+u02/c2

(b) By construction v, cannot exceed u0, for if it did, the information could not catch up with Amy at event 2. Use this to argue that if u0<c, then must be positive for whatever value is allowed to have(x-1)2⩾0. (c) Using the fact that , show that the right side of the expression in part (a) never exceeds . This confirms that when u0>cv need not exceed to produce a negativet'3 .

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?
