1. In one inertial reference frame, an electron is observed traveling with a velocity of magnitude v in the positive x-direction, where v is 0.6c. What are the momentum and total energy of the electron in that inertial reference frame in terms of v and the rest mass of the electron? What are the speed, momentum and energy of that electron as measured in a reference frame that is traveling at a velocity of magnitude v/2 in the positive x-direction?...

Special relativity: Amy and Britney are twins. Britney travels into space at the speed of 0.8c and Amy remains on Earth. If Amy observed the trip to take 12 years, how long would Britney observe the trip to take? With reference to Einstein's theory of special relativity, explain the difference in the answer.

Consider two events. Give an example of coordinates x,y,z,t and x’,y’,z’,t’ and relative velocity of the two frames u, such that event 1 occurs first in the unprimed reference frame, but event 2 occurs first in the primed reference frame. The example must use special relativity and show it works using numbers not just concept
