Special relativity has become a fundamental theory in the 20th century and is crucial for ex- plaining many astrophysical phenomena. A central aspect of special relativity is the transfor- mation from one reference frame to another. The following Lorentz transformation matrix gives the transformation from a frame at rest to a moving frame with velocity v along the z-axis: 0 0 YB 1 0 0 1 YB 0 0 where B = v/cwith c being the speed of light in a vacuum, and y is the Lorentz factor: 1 V1- 32 (a) State and explain the two traditional postulates from which special relativity originates. (b) Draw a plot of the Lorentz factor for 0 < B< 0.9 to see how its value changes. One of the many exciting phenomena of special relativity is time dilation. Imagine astronauts in a spaceship that is passing by the Earth with a high velocity. (c) Are clocks ticking slower for the people on Earth or for the astronauts on the spaceship? (d) How fast must the spaceship travel such that the clocks go twice as…

Replace the two forces acting on the frame by a wrench. Write both the force R and the moment M of the wrench as vectors and specify the coordinates of the point P in the y-z plane through which the line of action of the wrench passes.

a. Calculate the interval ∆s 2 between two events with coordinates (x1 = 50 m, y1 = 0, z1 = 0, t1 = 1 µs) and (x2 = 120 m, y2 = 0, z2 = 0, t2 = 1.2 µs) in an inertial frame S. b. Now transform the coordinates of the events into the S 0 frame, which is travelling at 0.6c along the x-axis in a positive direction with respect to the frame S. Hence verify that the spacetime interval is invariant.
An observer is stationary in the inertial system S. A car is moving in the x-direction with speed v = c / √2 with respect to the observer in S. The driver of the car is stationary with respect to the car, and thus the driver is in a different inertial frame S′. The passenger of the car takes out a baseball, opens the sunroof of the car and throws out the ball with a velocity vB =c/√2. If the baseball is thrown in the y-direction (perpendicular to the direction the car is moving), what is the velocity (in direction x,y and z) of the baseball as seen by the observer in S (Give all three velocity components!)

You and your secret celebrity crush pass each other in rockets that are each traveling 0.56c relative to the other. Your secret celebrity crush takes a nap and you decide to time how long the nap takes. In your frame, the nap takes 1.7 h. How long was the nap in your secret celebrity crush's frame? Unbeknownst to you, your secret celebrity crush's agent is onboard the celebrity's rocket and saw you timing the nap. Concerned, the agent decides to time how long you were timing the nap. In the agent's frame, how long were you timing your secret celebrity crush's nap?
