1) In the reference frame of one electron: 0.38c
To find the relative velocity of one electron with respect to the other, we must use the following formula:
where
u is the velocity of one electron
v is the velocity of the second electron
c is the speed of light
In this problem:
u = 0.2c
v = -0.2c (since the second electron is moving towards the first one, so in the opposite direction)
Substituting, we find:
2) In the reference frame of the laboratory: -0.2c and +0.2c
In this case, there is no calculation to be done. In fact, we are already given the speed of the two electrons; we are also told that they travel in opposite direction, so their velocities are
+0.2c
-0.2c
One consequence of Newton's third law of motion is that all actions have equal and opposite reactions. <em>(C)</em>
In fact, that's pretty much what the law itself says in so many words.
