Obtain the transformation equations for the acceleration a by differentiating the transformation equations for v.
A nucleus is moving with speed 3c/5. It emits a -particle in a direction perpendicular to the line of motion of the nucleus as observed from the reference frame of the nucleus. The speed of the -particle in this frame is 3c/4. Find the velocity and direction of motion of the -particle as seen by a stationary observer in the lab frame.

Consider a radioactive nucleus that moves with a constant speed of 0.5c relative to the laboratory. The nucleus decays, emitting an electron with a speed of 0.9c relative to the nucleus and along its direction of motion. Find the velocity of the electron in the laboratory frame. Suppose now that the nucleus decays by emitting an electron with a speed of 0.9c, but in a direction perpendicular to its direction of motion as determined by an observer at rest with...

Obtain the kinematic equations for constant acceleration by making use of: - the initial conditions - the definitions of velocity and acceleration as derivatives: v=dx/dt, a=dv/dt - and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. You should use the instantaneous kinematic quantities defined by calculus and the anti derivatives for obtaining the equations of motion at constant acceleration: Ex: a=dv/dt, dv=adt, v=at+C, at t=0 v=v0 so v=v0+at, and so on. PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK.

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?...

1. For a stationary ball of mass m = 0.200 kg hanging from a massless string, draw arrows (click on the “Shapes” tab) showing the forces acting on the ball (lengths can be arbitrary, but get the relative lengths of each force roughly correct). For this case of zero acceleration, use Newton’s 2nd law to find the magnitude of the tension force in the string, in units of Newtons. Since we will be considering motion in the horizontal xy plane,...

A small container of water is placed on a carousel inside a microwave oven, at a radius of 12.0 cm from the center. The turntable rotates steadily, turning through one revolution in each 7.25 s. What angle does the water surface make with the horizontal? Most people that have answered this question have answered it along the lines of this: "The water is traveling in a circle whose radius, r, is .12m (I like to convert all units to kg/m/sec...
