Get started for freeParticles of light have no mass. Does the Sun’s mass change as a result of all the light it emits? Explain.
Suppose particles begin moving in one dimension away from the origin atwith the following velocities: and so on. (a) After 1 s , how will the velocities of the particles depend on distance from the origin? (b) Now consider an observer on one of the moving particles not at the origin. How will the relative velocities of the other particles depend on distance from the observer?
A spring has a force constant 18 N/m. If it is compressed 50 cm from its equilibrium length, how much mass will it have gained?
Question: A rocket maintains a constant thrust F, giving it an acceleration of g
.
(a) If classical physics were valid, how long would it take for the rocket’s speed to reach ?
(b) Using the result of exercise 117(c), how long would it really take to reach ?
Question: A friend says, "It makes no sense that Anna could turn on lights in her hands simultaneously in her frame but that they don't turn on simultaneously in another-she decides to do it, and its done." By considering the tractable, if somewhat unrealistic, situation of Anna's thought being communicated to her hands by light signals, answer this objection.
