Consider a point charge q at rest, situated at the origin of some frame S. Its electric field, according
to S is
E(,t)
(1)
Of course, its magnetic field is zero. Now, you want to know what will happen to the fields if q moved
to the right (positive x direction). Since it is at rest in the S frame, what you can do is go to another
frame, S', then boost it to the negative x direction. This way, q moves to the right according to S'.
Let the velocity of S' be v = −vi.

b. Use the field transformations to solve for the components of the electric field in the S' frame.
Combine these to write down Ē¹(x, t). Be careful of the signs.

This problem deals quantitatively with the experiment of problem 1.1. Let 5denote the ground frame of reference and 5' the train's rest frame. Let the speedof the train, as measured by ground observers, be 30 m/sec in the x direction, andsuppose the stone is released at t' = a at the point x' = y' = 0, z' = 7.2 m.(a) Write the equations that describe the stone's motion in frame 5'. That is,give x', y', and z' as functions of t'. (Note: A body starting from rest and movingwith constant acceleration g travels a distance 1/2 gt2 in time t. Gravity produces aconstant acceleration whose lnagnitude is approximately 10 m/sec/sec.)(b) Use the Galilean transform,ation to write the equations that describe theposition of the stone in frame S.

- An equilateral triangle with each side of length s is placed such that one of its sides is on the x axis of a coordinate system with the vertex opposite to this side on the y axis. Compute its interior angles in a frame that moves to the right of S (along the +ve x axis) with speed v.

Using the invariance of the space-time interval, show that if the same calculation is done in a frame K'moving uniformly with respect to K, then r'=r. In other words, the proper time r along a particle orbit is a Lorentz invariant quantity.arrow_forwardProblem 3: A mass m is thrown from the origin att = 0 with initial three-momentum po in the y direction. If it is subject to a constant force F, in the x direction, find its velocity v as a function of t, and by integrating v find its trajectory. Check that in the non-relativistic limit the trajectory is the expected parabola. Hint: The relationship F = P is still true in relativistic mechanics, but now p = ymv instead of p = mv. To find the non-relativistic limit, treat c as a very large quantity and use the Taylor approximation (1+ x)" = 1 + nx when a is small.arrow_forward

- Problem 2: (a) Since the four-velocity u = Yu (c, u) is a four-vector, you should immediately know what its transfor- mation properties are. Write down the standard Lorentz boost for all four components of u. Use these to derive the relativistic velocity transformation formulas. (b) In non-relativistic mechanics, the energy E contains an arbitrary additive constant. That is, no 1 physics is changed by the replacement E → E + Eo for any constant Eo. Using the fact that the four- momentum p = (E/c,p2,Py, Pz) must transform like a four-vector, show that this is NOT true in relativistic mechanics.arrow_forwardCalculate the interval ∆s^2 between two events with coordinates (x1 = 50 m, y1 = 0, z1 = 0, t1 = 1 µs) and (x2 = 120 m, y2 = 0, z2 = 0, t2 = 1.2 µs) in an inertial frame S. i got ∆s^2 = as 1300m^2 but i am stuck on the next part b) Now transform the coordinates of the events into the S' frame, which is travelling at 0.6c along the x-axis in a positive direction with respect to the frame S.
