Inertial reference frame A and inertial reference frame B have x-axes that point in the same direction, and reference frame A moves relative to reference frame B at a constant velocity of 0.680 c in the +x-direction. These reference frames record the times and positions of the following two events. A space transmitter is destroyed in a sudden explosion. The on-board computer on a space satellite suddenly shuts down. According to reference frame B, the computer shutdown occurred 7.51 x...

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?...

Earth and Planet X are in the same inertial frame of reference. In the Earth-Planet X reference frame the distance between Earth and Planet X is 12 ly (light years). A spaceship travels at a constant speed from Earth to Planet X. In the reference frame of the spaceship, it takes 15 years to reach Planet X. What is the speed of the spaceship relative to Earth(as a fraction of the speed of light)?

Our usual frame of reference is the surface of the Earth, which is actually a non-inertial reference frame since the Earth is spinning! In other words we are constantly accelerating, since we travel in a circle around Earth's rotation axis. For the questions below assume the Earth is spherical with a radius of 3959 miles and the latitude of Los Angeles is approximately 34°. a) How much lighter will a scale read a 70 kg70 kg person's weight standing at...

ane sets up two mirrors in her reference frame where mirror A is located on the x-axis 100 m from the origin and mirror B is located on the y-axis 100 m from the origin. She then causes a light source, which is located at the origin and emits light uniformly in all directions, to flash once at t=0. (a) As measured in Jane's inertial frame, what is the time at which the light flash reaches mirror A? (b) As...

Which of the following inertial reference frames are proper frames for the two events listed? Choose all that apply. RED FRAME: Event A happened at a different place than event B. ORANGE FRAME: Event C happened at (9 m, 7 m, -6 m) and event D happened at (-9 m, 0.7 m, -6 m). YELLOW FRAME: The distance between where event E occurred and where event F occurred was 4 m. GREEN FRAME: A rocket was traveling at a constant...

A rocket that is in deep space and initially at rest relative to an inertial reference frame has a mass of 2.60 ✕ 105 kg, of which 1.92 ✕ 105 kg is fuel. The rocket engine is then fired for 250 s while fuel is consumed at the rate of 480 kg/s. The speed of the exhaust product relative to the rocket is 3.15 km/s. After the 250 s firing, what is the speed of the rocket in m/s? Sample...
