Chapter 36: Q. 17 (page 1059)

At what speed, as a fraction of c, would a round-trip astronaut 鈥渓ose鈥� 125 of the elapsed time shown on her watch?

Short Answer

Expert verified

At speed of 0.28c,a round-trip astronaut 鈥渓ose鈥�125 of the elapsed time shown on her watch.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We have given that the rate at which a round-trip astronaut loses 125of the time on her watch.

02

Simplify

We have: 鈭�t=纬鈭�t'.

Now, we use binomial approximation for 纬:

localid="1649531467250" 鈭�t鈭�t'鈮�v22c2鈭�t鈭�t'=v22c2v2=2c2鈭�t鈭�t'v=c2鈭�t鈭�t'v=c2125v=0.28c

A 30-m-long rocket train car is traveling from Los Angeles to New York at 0.50c when a light at the center of the car flashes. When the light reaches the front of the car, it immediately rings a bell. Light reaching the back of the car immediately sounds a siren.

a. Are the bell and siren simultaneous events for a passenger seated in the car? If not, which occurs first and by how much time?

b. Are the bell and siren simultaneous events for a bicyclist waiting to cross the tracks? If not, which occurs first and by how much time?

A firecracker explodes in reference frame S at t=1.0s. A second firecracker explodes at the same position at t=3.0s. In reference frame S鈥�, which moves in the x-direction at speed v, the first explosion is detected at x'=4.0mand the second at x'=-4.0m.

a. What is the speed of frame S鈥� relative to frame S?

b. What is the position of the two explosions in frame S?

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.
