A rocket train car that is 30 m long is traveling from Los Angeles to New York at v=0.5c when a light at the center of the car f

lashes. When the light reaches the front of the car, it immediately rings a bell. Light reaching the back of the car immediately sounds a siren. A bicyclist waiting to cross the tracks sees the light in front of her at the instant when it flashes. Choose frame S' so that its origin is located at the center of the train. Take the direction of motion of the train (eastward) to be the positive direction of x'. Let the instant when the light flashes be t′=0s.
Required:
What are (x′A,t′A) and (x′B,t′B), the spacetime coordinates of event A and B in S'?

Answer: The reference frame of a passenger in a seat near the center of the train

Explanation:

the speed of light is the same for the passenger and the bicyclist

then the avents are simultaneous fo the passenger not for the bicyclist

the delay between the two events for the bicyclist is

Δt=Δd/vs

where

Δd= lenght of train

vs=speed of sound

the reference frame of a passenger in a seat near the center of the train

Solution:

The space and time transformations are:

x' = γ(x - vt)

t' = γ(t - vx/c²).

In the primed frame the two events are simultaneous, so that Δt' = 0. Also here Δx' = 30. In the unprimed frame Δx' = 30 = γ(Δx - v Δt).......(*)

We also have Δt' = 0 = γ(Δt - vΔx/c²)→Δx = c²Δt/v......(**)

Substituting (**) in (*): 30 = γ(c²Δt/v - vΔt))→Δt = 30/(c²/v - v) =

30/(2c - 0.5c) = 6.7 x 10^(-8)s

"A ball with a mass of 0.1 kg is rolling at a velocity of 5 m/s. What is its
Mumz [18]

Answer:

velocity

Explanation:

because the si unit of mass is kg, velocity is m/s, acceleration is m/S2 , moment is kgm2/s . so 5 is given as velocity.

What two forces act on a falling object ?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The two forces acting on the object are weight due to gravity pulling the object towards earth, and drag resisting this motion. When the object is first released, drag is small as velocity is low, so the resultant force is down. This means the object accelerates towards earth.
