Answer:
Cosmic ray's frame of reference: 99,875 years
Stationary frame of reference: 501,891 years
Explanation:
First of all, we convert the distance from parsec into metres:
The speed of the cosmic ray is
where
is the speed of light. Substituting,
And so, the time taken to complete the journey in the cosmic's ray frame of reference (called proper time) is:
Converting into years,
Instead, the time elapsed in the stationary frame of reference is given by Lorentz transformation:
And substituting v = 0.98c, we find:
The time needed for the 7th car to pass is 13.2 s
Explanation:
The motion of the train is a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use suvat equations.
We start by analzying the motion of the first car, by using the equation:
where
s is the distance covered by the first car in a time t, which corresponds to the length of one car
u = 0 is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t = 5.0 s is the time
The equation can be rewritten as
where L is the length of one car.
The same equation can be written considering the first 7 cars:
where
7L is the distance covered by the 7 cars
t' is the time needed
We still have
u = 0
And the acceleration is constant so it is
Substituting into the equation, we can find t':
In attachment the graph of the distance covered versus the time taken: since the motion is uniformly accelerated, the relationship between the two variables is quadratical.
