Chapter 36: Q. 11 (page 1058)

Event A occurs at space-time coordinates (300m,2渭蝉).

a. Event B occurs at space time coordinates (1200m,6渭蝉). Could A possibly be the cause of B? Explain.

b. Event C occurs at space time coordinates (2400m,8渭蝉). Could A possibly be the cause of C? Explain

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. yes

b. no

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

We have given, Space-time coordinates of A

(300m,2渭蝉)

Space time coordinates of B

(1200m,6渭蝉)

we have to find the is A possibly be the cause of B.

02

Simplify

The distance between the A and B

鈭�x=xB-xA鈭�x=1200m-300m鈭�x=900m

The time taken from A to B

鈭�t=tA-tB鈭�t=6渭蝉-2渭蝉鈭�t=4渭蝉

then velocity will be

V=鈭�x鈭�t=900m4渭蝉V=225脳106m/sV<<c

Since speed is less than the speed of light then A will be cause of B.

03

Part (b) Step : Given information

We have given,

Space-time coordinates of A (300m,2渭蝉)

Space-time coordinates of C (2400m,8渭蝉)

we have to find the is A possibly be the cause of C.

04

SImplify

The distance between the A and C

鈭�x=xB-xA鈭�x=2400m-300m鈭�x=2100m

The time taken from A to C

鈭�t=tA-tB鈭�t=8渭蝉-2渭蝉鈭�t=6渭蝉

then velocity will be

V=鈭�x鈭�t=2100m6渭蝉V=350脳106m/sV>c

It is not possible.

A baseball pitcher can throw a ball with a speed of 40m/s. He is in the back of a pickup truck that is driving away from you. He throws the ball in your direction, and it floats toward you at a lazy 10m/s. What is the speed of the truck?

A100m long train is heading for an 80cmlong tunnel. If the train moves sufficiently fast, is it possible, according to experimenters on the ground, for the entire train to be inside the tunnel at one instant of time? Explain.

You are standing at x=9.0kmand your assistant is standing at x=3.0km.Lightning bolt 1strikes at x=0kmand lightning bolt 2strikes at x=12.0km.You see the flash from bolt 2at t=10渭sand the flash from bolt 1att=50渭s. According to your assistant, were the lightning strikes simultaneous? If not, which occurred first, and what was the time difference between the two?

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?

At what speed, as a fraction of c, is the kinetic energy of a particle twice its Newtonian value?
