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 as he approaches the other. Sam fires a laser beam toward Tom.
a. What is the speed of the laser beam relative to Sam?
b. What is the speed of the laser beam relative to Tom?
At what speed, as a fraction of , is a particle’s momentum twice its Newtonian value?
At what speed, as a fraction of c, is a particle’s total energy twice its rest energy?
At what speed, as a fraction of , must an electron move so that its total energy is more than its rest mass energy?
A -long rocket train car is traveling from Los Angeles to New York at 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?
