FIGURE Q36.1 shows two balls. What are the speed and direction of each (a) in a reference frame that moves with ball 1 and (b) in a reference frame that moves with ball 2?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The speed of ball 2 with respect to ball 1 is -9m/s.

the speed of ball 1 with itself is zero.

b. The speed of ball 2 with respect to ball 2 is 0m/s.

the speed of ball 1 with respect to ball 2 is9m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We have given, two balls of speed

Speedofball1=6m/sSpeedofball2=3m/s.

We have to find the speed of the each ball with respect to ball 1.

02

Simplify

Velocity of ball 1 with respect to itself will be always zero. Since for itself reframe it will be in rest.

u11=0

Velocity of ball 2 with respect to ball 1 is

u21=u2-Vu21=-3(reversedirection)-6u21=-9m/s

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

We have given,

Speedofball1=6m/sSpeedofball2=3m/s.

We have to find the speed of each ball with respect to ball 2.

04

Simplify

Velocity of ball 2 with respect to itself will be always zero. Since for itself reframe it will be in rest.

u22=0

Velocity of ball 1 with respect to ball 2 is

u12=u1-vu12=6-(-3)u12=9m/s

FIGURE Q36.6 shows a rocket traveling from left to right. At the instant it is halfway between two trees, lightning simultaneously (in the rocket’s frame) hits both trees.

a. Do the light fleshes reach the rocket pilot simultaneously? If not, which reaches her first? Explain

b. A student was sitting on the ground halfway between the trees as the rocket passed overhead. According to the student, were the lightning strikes simultaneous? If not, which tree was hit first? Explain.

A modest supernova (the explosion of a massive star at the end of its life cycle) releases 1.5 * 1044 J of energy in a few seconds. This is enough to outshine the entire galaxy in which it occurs. Suppose a star with the mass of our sun collides with an antimatter star of equal mass, causing complete annihilation. What is the ratio of the energy released in this star-antistar collision to the energy released in the supernova?

a. What are the momentum and total energy of a proton with speed 0.99c?

b. What is the proton’s momentum in a different reference frame in which E'=5.0×10-10J?

Two events in the reference frame Soccur 10msapart at the same point in space. The distance between the two events is2400msin the reference frame S'.

a. What is the time interval between the events in reference frame S'′?

b. What is the velocity of S'relative to S?

Teenagers Sam and Tom are playing chicken in their rockets. As FIGURE Q36.2 shows, an experimenter on earth sees that each is traveling at 0.95cas he approaches the other. Sam fires a laser beam toward Tom.
