A light beam moves at an angle with the x-axis as seen from frame S. Using the relativistic velocity transformation, find the components of its velocity when viewed from frame . From these, verify explicitly that its speed is c.
Question: The Lorentz transformation equations have x and t and x' and t'. Why no v and v' ?
In a particle collider experiment, particle I is moving to the right at 0.99c and particle 2 to the left at 0.99c, both relative to the laboratory. What is the relative velocity of the two panicles according to (an observer moving with) particle 2?
A thin plate has a round hole whose diameter in its rest is D. The plate is parallel to the ground and moving upward, in the +y direction, relative to the ground. A thin round disk whose diameter in its rest frame is D direction is also parallel to the ground but moving in the +x relative to it. In the frame of the ground, the plate and disk are on course so that the centers of the bole and disk wiIl at some point coincide. The disk is contracted, but the hole in the plate is not, so the disk will pass through the hole. Now consider the frame of the disk. The disk is of diameter D, but the hole is contracted. Can the disk pass through the hole, and if so, how?
