Which is not a way to accelerate an object?

GREYUIT [131]

<span>Slowing an object down is not a means of accelerating it. It actually decelerates the motion of an object. Speeding it up, changing its direction and applying balanced forces accelerate an object. In order for an object to accelerate, a force must be applied. It follows Newton’s second law of motion where it states that a body at rest remains at rest unless a force is acted upon it. When you move an object, you are exerting a force onto it. By exerting a force on the object, you are actually displacing it from its initial position. You cannot apply force to the object without altering its position. Keep in mind that when you exert work, you are exerting energy too. </span>

One event occurs at the origin at t equal to zero, and a second events occurs at the point x=5m along the x-axis at time with ct

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The separation will be spacelike.

The first event can't cause the second event, as there exist an frame of reference in which both happens at the same time, in different positions, so, if there were causally connected, it will imply an instant connection, this is faster than light.

Explanation:

We can define the separation between two events (using the + - - - signature) as :

$(\Delta s )^2 = (ct_2 - c t_1 )^2 - (x_2 - x_1)^2$

where the separation will be lightlike if is equal to zero, timelike if is positive and spacelike if is negative.

For our problem

$c t_1 = 0$

$x_1 = 0$

$ct_2 = 4 \ m$

$x_2 = 5 \ m$

$(\Delta s )^2 = (4 \ m - 0 )^2 - ( 5 \ m - 0)^2$

$(\Delta s )^2 = (4 \ m )^2 - ( 5 \ m 0)^2$

$(\Delta s )^2 = 16 \ m^ 2 - 25 \ m^2$

$(\Delta s )^2 = - 9\ m^2$

So the separation will be spacelike, and the first event can't cause the second event, as there exist an frame of reference in which both happens at the same time, in different positions, so, if there were causally connected, it will imply an instant connection, this is faster than light.
