Lorentz transformation to rederive the time-dilation formula

Reference no: EM13536903

Use the Lorentz transformation to rederive the time-dilation formula. To do this you must define two events which occur at the same location in S'.

Calculate the force on a dielectric slab inserted partly : Calculate the force on a dielectric slab inserted partly into a parallel plate capacitor with plate dimensions L and w, with a length x of the dielectric lying between the plates. Assume that the plates are isolated, so the charge ±Q on the plates..

Find the tension in the string : One end of a cord is fixed and a small 0.530-kg object is attached to the other end, where it swings in a section of a vertical circle of radius 3.00 m, as shown in the figure below. When ? = 16.0°, the speed of the object is 8.20 m/s.

Using the periodic boundary condition : Using the periodic boundary condition, ?k(x+L) = ?k(x) and noting that e(i2pn)=1, determine the allowed values of k in terms of L and an integer n. Are negative values of n allowed?

What is the angle with respect the x-axis as measured : A meter stick is at rest in a frame S', which is traveling with a speed of V=0.8c with respect to a frame S. The stick makes an angle of 60 degrees with respect to the x-axis as measured by an observer in S'. What is its length and what is the angle ..

How many muons will it register in one hour : The muons created by cosmic rays in the upper atmosphere rain down uniformly on the earth's surface, although some of them decay on the way down, with a half-life of about 1.5?s (measured in their rest frame).

What is the percent difference : A satellite travels at about 8000m/s. What is the factor γ for this speed? As observed from the ground, by how much would a clock traveling at this speed differ from a ground based clock after one hour (as measured by the latter)? What is the percent..

Calculate the delta V for the arrival at the LaGrange point : I am working on a project where we need to find an optimal transfer for a spacecraft from LEO to the L4 LaGrange point in the Earth-Moon system. In order to calculate the delta V for the arrival at the LaGrange point, we need to know the "veloci..
