Chapter 36: Q. 34 (page 1060)

At what speed, as a fraction of c, is a particle鈥檚 momentum twice its Newtonian value?

Short Answer

Expert verified

v=0.866c

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

We have to find the speed speed as a fraction of c, is a particle鈥檚 momentum twice its Newtonian value.

02

Simplify

We use formula

1-v2c2=0.5

From the above formula, we will solve for speed v,

1-v2c2=0.51-v2c2=0.25v2c2=0.75v=c0.75v=0.866c

An event has spacetime coordinates (x,t)=(1200m,2.0渭s)in reference frame S. What are the event鈥檚 spacetime coordinates (a) in reference frame S'that moves in the positive x-direction at 0.80cand (b) in reference frame S''that moves in the negative x-direction at0.80c?

A distant quasar is found to be moving away from the earth at 0.80c. A galaxy closer to the earth and along the same line of sight is moving away from us at 0.20c. What is the recessional speed of the quasar, as a fraction of c, as measured by astronomers in the other galaxy?

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

A human hair is about 50渭min diameter. At what speed, in m/s, would a meter stick 鈥渟hrink by a hair鈥�?

Hint: Use the binomial approximation.

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?
