Synchronized clocks A and B are at rest in our frame of reference a distance 2 light-minutes apart. Clock C passes A at speed (4/5)c bound for B, when both A and C read t=0 in our frame. (a) What time does C read when it reaches B? How far apart are A and B in C's frame? (c) In C's frame, when A passes C, what time does B read?

Mr. Engelsberg wishes to synchronize two identical clocks, named Big Ben and Little Ben, which are relatively at rest and separated by one million kilometers, which is 10^9 meters or approximatley three times the distance between Earth and Moon. He uses a third clock, identical in construction with the first two, that travels with constant velocity between them. As his moving clock passes Big Ben. When the moving clock passes Little Ben, that outpost clock is set to read the...

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...

Special Relativity: A and B are initially a distance L apart, at rest with respect to each other. At a given time, B accelerates toward A with constant proper acceleration a. Assume aL << c^2. a.) Working in A's frame, calculate the difference in readings on A's and B's clocks when B reaches A. b.) Do the same by working in B's frame, and show that the result agrees (neglecting higher-order effects) with the result from a.).

The starship Enterprise leaves a distant earth colony, which is nearly at rest with respect to the earth. The ship travels at nearly constant velocity toward earth. When the Enterprise reaches earth 1.02 y has elapsed, as measured on the ship. Clocks in the earth's reference frame show that the voyage lasted 2.89 y. How far from earth is the colony, as measured in the reference frame of the earth? Unit: light years (b) How far from earth is the...

1a. Three digital clocks A, B, and C run at different rates and do not have simultaneous readings of zero. The figure shows simultaneous readings on pairs of the clocks for four occasions. (At the earliest occasion, for example, B reads 25.0 s and C reads 92.0 s.) If two events are 700 s apart on clock A, how far apart are they on (a) clock B and (b) clock C? (c) When clock A reads 390 s, what does...

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?...

Two observers agree to test time dilation. They use identical clocks, and one observer in frame S’ moves with speed v=0.8c relative (along +x-axis) to the other observer in frame S. When their origins coincide they start their clocks. They agree to send a signal when each of their clocks reads 90min and to send a confirmation signal when each receives the other’s signal. (a) At what time does the observer in S receive the first signal from the observer...

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...
