6. One of the potentially confusing things about special relativity is that it shows us that the time measured between two events depends upon your inertial frame of reference. In particular, two events that appear to be simultaneous in one inertial frame may be measured to occur at different times in a different inertial frame. Even more interesting is that Event 1 might occur either before or after (or at the same time as) Event 2, depending upon your reference frame! The proper interpretation of these facts is to say that nothing in physics forces two simultaneous events in one frame to be simultaneous in any other frame. However, what about the order of events when Event 1 CAUSES Event 2? For example, let's consider two events from a game of pool: 1) A cue ball, traveling at 10 m/s, hits the eight ball (of mass equal to the cue ball). An elastic collision transfers all the linear momentum of the cue ball to the eight ball. 0oondc lotor the gicht bol1 10 from the collision noint

Which of the following is one of the postulates of Special Relativity? Time dilates and length contracts as an object approaches relativistic speeds. . Events that are simultaneous in one frame may not be simultaneous in another. . All laws of physics are of the same form in all inertial frames of reference. The speed of light in vacuum is constant and dependent on the speed of the source.
2. Suppose the boat A is moving relative to the water with a velocity of 6 m/s due east and boat B is moving with a velocity of 12 m/s due west. Assume that observers on both boats use reference frames in which the x direction points east. According to the Galilean veloc- ity transformation equations, what is the velocity of boat A relative to boat B. (Hint: Draw a picture. Be sure to define which object corresponds to which frame.)

According to Einstein’s two postulates of special relativity: The first postulate states that: All inertial reference frames are equivalent. Explain what is meant by this first postulate.
TOPIC Special Theory of Relativity Intro, Time Dilation & Length Contraction A. TRUE OR FALSE. Explain your answer in one sentence. 1. The special theory of relativity is based on inertial frame of reference. 2. If a flashlight is emitted in a running train, the speed of light will be greater than c. 3. Time dilation and length contraction is not observed if the speed of an object being observed is very slow compared to the speed of light because it is not happening at this speed. 4. The twin who travelled at a very fast speed will age slower than his twin brother. 5. A car that travels at 0.85c will appear longer than when measured at rest. B. PROBLEM SOLVING. State the given data and the unknown required to be solved. Show the solution and express your final answer with correct number of significant digits. 1. A certain particle has a lifetime of 1.00 x 10-7 s when measured at rest. (a) What is its lifetime when moving at 0.99c? (b) How far does it go before decaying? 2. A 28-year…
1. One of the objectives of Special Relativity was to make the laws of electricity and magnetism valid for all inertial observers. In particular, Maxwell's wave equation for light's electric field E is given by 3º E/d? – (1/c?)a²E/? = 0 - (a) Show that this equation does not have its mathematical form preserved under Galilean coordinate transformations, í.e., it violates the principle of Galilean relativity. (b) Next, show that this equation is invariant under Lorentz transformations, i.e., it keeps its form and is thus indeed valid for all inertial reference frames in the context of Special Relativity.

The great proof of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity was that light is bent by gravity (as it travels through a curved spacetime). Which of these statements is true?? O A light ray is bent the same amount, it doesn't matter how strong the gravity is. O A light ray is bent less by an intense gravitational field. O A light ray is bent more by an intense gravitational field. O Light rays aren't bent.
