Chapter 36: Q. 4 (page 1058)

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

Short Answer

Expert verified

Both event will occur simultaneously.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have given,

To me the both event will occur at distance =300m

Distance of event A form lab partner = 300m

We have to find the which event will occur first for the lab partner.

02

Simplify

Because the lab partner is at 300mdistance from the firecracker A and Firecrackers A and B are 300mapart for me.

Then, So the distance of fire cracker B from the lab partner is:

Distance=600m+300m=900m

By observation we can say that Due to large distance of event B from the lab partner, it may occur after event B.

Then, this concludes that lab partner sees event A occur first then event B.

But lab partner is smart enough to correct for the travel time of light.

Then, he conclude that the events occur at the same time .

In an attempt to reduce the extraordinarily long travel times for voyaging to distant stars, some people have suggested traveling at close to the speed of light. Suppose you wish to visit the red giant star Betelgeuse, which is430lyaway, and that you want your 20,000kgrocket to move so fast that you age only 20yearsduring the round trip.

a . How fast, as a fraction of c, must the rocket travel relative to earth?

b. How much energy is needed to accelerate the rocket to this speed?

c. Compare this amount of energy to the total energy used by the United States in the year 2015, which was roughly1.0脳1020J

At what speed, in m/s,would a moving clock lose role="math" localid="1649531760117" 1.0nsin 1.0day according to experimenters on the ground?

Hint: Use the binomial approximation.

A 1.0 g particle has momentum 400,000 kgm/s. What is the particle鈥檚 speed in m/s?

Our Milky Way galaxy is 100,000lyin diameter. A spaceship crossing the galaxy measures the galaxy鈥檚 diameter to be a mere 1.0ly.

a. What is the spacecraft鈥檚 speed, as a fraction of c, relative to the galaxy?

b. How long is the crossing time as measured in the galaxy鈥檚 reference frame?

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?
