Chapter 36: Q. 11 (page 1059)

You are standing at x=9.0km.Lightning bolt 1strikes at x=0kmand lightning bolt 2strikes at x=12.0km. Both flashes reach your eye at the same time. Your assistant is standing at x=3.0km. Does your assistant see the flashes at the same time? If not, which does she see first, and what is the time difference between the two?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The difference is40渭s.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We have given that,

I am standing at x=9.0km

Lightning bolt 1strikes at x=0kmand lightning bolt 2strikes at x=12.0km.Both flashes reach my eye at the same time.

My assistant is standing at x=3.0km.

02

Simplify

Bolt 1is 9.0kmaway, thus the light take 30musto reach me. Bolt 2is 3.0kmaway, thus it will take 10渭sto reach me.

Because both flashes hit my eye at the same moment, the occurrence took 20渭s.

It takes light from bolt 110渭sto reach my assistance and light from bolt 230渭sto reach my assistance.

So, she sees the flash from bolt 1at t=10渭sand flash from bolt 2at localid="1649506376024" t=50渭s.

So, the difference is 40渭s.

Firecrackers A and B are 600m apart. You are standing exactly halfway between them. Your lab partner is 300m on the other side of firecracker A. You see two flashes of light, from the two explosions, at exactly the same instant of time. Define event 1 to be 鈥渇irecracker A explodes鈥� and event 2 to be 鈥渇irecracker B explodes.鈥� According to your lab partner, based on measurements he or she makes, does event 1 occur before, after, or at the same time as event 2? Explain

Firecracker A is 300m from you. Firecracker B is 600m from you in the same direction. You see both explode at the same time. Define event 1 to be 鈥渇irecracker A explodes鈥� and event 2 to be 鈥渇irecracker B explodes.鈥� Does event 1 occur before, after, or at the same time as event 2? Explain.

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鈥檚 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.

One of the important ways in which the Higgs boson was detected at the Large Hadron Collider was by observing a type of decay in which the Higgs鈥攚hich decays too quickly to be observed directly鈥攊s immediately transformed into two photons emitted back to back. Two photons, with momenta 3.31脳10-17kgm/s, were detected. What is the mass of the Higgs boson? Give your answer as a multiple of the proton mass.
