. A compact neutron star has a mass of kg (about 1.4 times the mass of the Sun) but a radius of only m (approximately 6.2 mi!). If a clock on the surface of this exotic star marks the passage of 1 h of time, how much time is observed to pass on an identical clock located a very large distance from the neutron star?
(a) What is the approximate speed relative to us of a galaxy near the edge of the known universe, some 10 Gly away? (b) What traction of the speed of light is this? Note that we have observed galaxies moving away from us at greater than 0.9c.
(a) Show that (pc)2/(m c 2)2=21. This means that at large velocities pcmc2. (b) Is Epc when =30.0, as for the astronaut discussed in the twin paradox?
(a) Wliat is the approximate velocity relative to us of a galaxy near the edge of the known universe, some 10 Gly away? (b) What fraction of the speed of light is this? Note that we have observed galaxies moving away from us at greater than 0.9c.
A yet-to-be-built spacecraft starts from Earth moving at constant speed to the yet-to-be-discovered planet Retah, which is 20 lighthours away from Earth. It takes 25 h (according to an Earth observer) for a spacecraft to reach this planet. Assuming that the clocks are synchronized at the beginning of the journey, compare the time elapsed in the spacecraft’s frame for this one-way journey with the time elapsed as measured by an Earth-based clock.
A neutron lives 900 s when at rest relative to a observer. How fast is the neutron moving relative to a observer who measures its life span to be 2065 s?
A friend passes by you in a spacecraft traveling at a high speed. He tells you that his craft is 20.0 m long and that the identically constructed craft you are sitting in is 19.0 m long. According to your observations, (a) how long is your spacecraft, (b) how long is your friends craft, and (c) what is the speed of your friends craft?
Suppose a particle called a kaon is created by cosmic radiation striking the atmosphere. It moves by you at 0.980c, and it lives when at rest relative to an observer. How long does it live as you observe it?
(a) How far does the muon in Example 5.3 travel according to the earthbound observer? (b) How far does it travel as viewed by an observer moving with it? Base your calculation on its velocity relative to the Earth and the lime it lives (proper time). (c) Verify that these two distances are related through length contraction
(a) What is the effective accelerating potential for electrons at the Stanford Linear Accelerator, if =1.00105 for them? (b) What is their total energy (nearly the same as kinetic in this case) in GeV?
Check Your Understanding a. A particle travels at 1.90108m/sand lives 2.10108swhen at rest relative to an observer. How long does the particle live as viewed in the laboratory? b. Space craft A and B pass in opposite directions at a relative speed of 4.00107m/s . An internal clock in space craft A causes it to emit a radio signal for 1.00 s. The computer in spacecraft B corrects for the beginning and end of the signal having traveled different distances, to calculate the time interval during which ship A was emitting the signal. What is the time interval that the computer in spacecraft B calculates?
Two astronomical events are observed to occur at a time of 0.30 s apart and a distance separation of 2.0109m from each other. How fast must a spacecraft travel from the site of one event toward the other to make the events occur at the same time when measured in the frame of reference of the spacecraft?
