Chapter 36: Q. 19 (page 1059)

You fly 5000kmacross the United States on an airliner at 250m/s.You return two days later at the same speed.

a. Have you aged more or less than your friends at home?

b. By how much?

Hint: Use the binomial approximation

Short Answer

Expert verified

a.)Because my proper time is smaller than the time in the Earth frame, I have aged less.

b.)In frame S鈫�鈭�t=4脳104s,

In frame S'鈫�鈭�蟿=14ns

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

We have given that,

Airliner takes of and attains v=250m/s.

Airliner returns to original position after 2days.

We have to assume you've aged more or less than your family and friends.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Simplify

Because my proper time is smaller than the time in the Earth frame, I have aged less.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

We have given that,

Airliner takes of and attains v=250m/s.

Airliner returns to original position after 2days.

We need to figure out how much is the Earth's frame and the airliner's frame.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Simplify

The Earth's frame is S.

The Airliner's frame is S'.

In the Sframe:

鈭�t=2脳5脳106m250m/s鈭�t=4脳104s

In the frameS':

鈭�蟿=鈭�t1-v2c21/2鈭�蟿=鈭�t1-v22c2鈭�蟿=鈭�t路v22c2鈭�蟿=(4脳104s)12250m/s3脳108m鈭�蟿=1.4脳10-8s鈭�蟿=14ns

A newspaper delivery boy is riding his bicycle down the street at 5.0m/s. He can throw a paper at a speed of 8.0m/s. What

is the paper鈥檚 speed relative to the ground if he throws the paper (a) forward, (b) backward, and (c) to the side?

What is the speed, in m/s, of a proton after being accelerated from rest through a 50脳106Vpotential difference?

Consider the inelastic collision e-+e-鈫�e-+e-+e-+e+in which an electron-positron pair is produced in a head-on collision between two electrons moving in opposite directions at the same speed. This is similar to Figure 36.39, but both of the initial electrons are moving.

a. What is the threshold kinetic energy? That is, what minimum kinetic energy must each electron have to allow this process to occur?

b. What is the speed of an electron with this kinetic energy?

Two events in reference frame S occur 10 ms apart at the same point in space. The distance between the two events is 2400 m in reference frame S鈥�.

a. What is the time interval between the events in reference frame S鈥�?

b. What is the velocity of S鈥� relative to S?

The sun radiates energy at the rate 3.8脳1026W. The source of this energy is fusion, a nuclear reaction in which mass is transformed into energy. The mass of the sun is 2.0脳1030kg.

a. How much mass does the sun lose each year?

b. What percent is this of the sun鈥檚 total mass?

c. Fusion takes place in the core of a star, where the temperature and pressure are highest. A star like the sun can sustain fusion until it has transformed about 0.10%of its total mass into energy, then fusion ceases and the star slowly dies. Estimate the sun鈥檚 lifetime, giving your answer in billions of years.
