Question
A rocket cruises past a laboratory at 0.400×106m/s in the positive x-direction just as a proton is launched with velocity (in the laboratory frame)
v⃗ =(1.55×106i^+1.55×106j^)m/s.
a. What is the proton's speed in the laboratory frame?
b. What is the angle from the y-axis of the proton's speed in the laboratory frame?
c. What is the the proton's speed in the rocket frame?
d. What is the angle from the y-axis of the proton's speed in the rocket frame?

- In the earth's rest frame, two protons are moving away from each other at equal speed. In the frame of each proton, the other proton has a speed of 0.650c. Part A What does an observer in the rest frame of the earth measure for the speed of each proton? Express your answer as a multiple of the speed of light. V7 ΑΣΦ U = Submit Request Answer ?arrow_forwardYou are the pilot of a spacecraft intended for travel at very high speeds. Before leaving you measure the spacecraft to be 31.4 m long and have a mass of 5.28 x 104 kg. During your travel, you pass a planet and exchange information with an observer on the planet. You are told that your spacecraft has been measured to be 28.6 m long. a. How fast is your spacecraft travelling with respect to the planet? b. You are told there is a nearby planet that is stationary with respect to the first planet. The observer on the first planet says it will take you 25 s to reach the nearby planet. How far away does your co-pilot on the spacecraft say the nearby planet is? c. How much energy was required to accelerate your spacecraft to this speed?arrow_forwardThe space and time coordinates for two events as measured in a frame S are as follows: Event 1: x1=x0 , t1=x0/c Event 2: x2=2x0, t2=x0/2c a. There exists a frame in which these events occur at the same time. Find the velocity of this frame with respect to S. b. What is the value of t at which both events occur in the new frame?arrow_forward
