The Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) accelerates electrons to in a long tube. If they travel the length of the tube at full speed (they don’t, because they are accelerating), how long is the tube in the electrons’ reference frame?
An out-of-control alien spacecraft is diving into a star at a speed of . At what speed, relative to the spacecraft, is the starlight approaching?
Bjorn is standing at . Firecracker explodes at the origin and firecrackerexplodes at . The flashes from both explosions reach Bjorn’s eye at . At what time did each firecracker explode?
A rocket travels in the -direction at speed with respect to the earth. An experimenter on the rocket observes a collision between two comets and determines that the spacetime coordinates of the collision are . What are the spacetime coordinates of the collision in earth’s reference frame?
FIGURE Q36.5 shows Peggy standing at the center of her railroad car as it passes Ryan on the ground. Firecrackers attached to the ends of the car explode. A short time later, the flashes from the two explosions arrive at Peggy at the same time.
a. Were the explosions simultaneous in Peggy’s reference frame? If not, which exploded first? Explain.
b. Were the explosions simultaneous in Ryan’s reference frame?
