What is the amplitude of the resulting oscillations?
Really wish I could help you here, but no matter how I look at this question I get the same answer you do, and the only answer I can find online is formatting that makes no sense; - A = ( F m ) ( 2 2 ) 2 ( b 2 m ) 2 = ( 4.8 N 2 kg ) [ ( 3 s 1 ) 2 ( 50 N m 2 kg ) ] 2 + = 0.15 m - I'd keep...- Lavar

High School Speed of Light at near C speeds
Thanks a lot for all your responses! Got my head of the gutter and look at it all from a different point of view Its just easier to say when looking at this question.- Lavar

High School Speed of Light at near C speeds
Thanks for your help, I got a little caught up and forgot that due to velocity being in my frame, hence time must pass and hence can compare initial to final. Thanks a lot!- Lavar

High School Speed of Light at near C speeds
Ugh I feel bad for continuing this thanks for trying to explain. But say I use the formula under the assumption my v=0, then the speed of light=the velocity is gaining away from me. Or am I missing something? (edit = assuming v=0 because I have no way to find what v is because I have no other...- Lavar

High School Speed of Light at near C speeds
Yes the photon is moving at C, but in this frame of reference how can I prove that? It may be moving at C but its only gaining its (velocity - my velocity) of distance/time from me.- Lavar

High School Speed of Light at near C speeds
Dont get me wrong I understand that C is constant etc, but when people refer to light they say it will be constant no matter the reference frame just like you did. I'm really trying to ask in this specific reference frame if I could "see" the photon moving away at only a few m/s away from me and...- Lavar

High School Speed of Light at near C speeds
Hey guys this question is a bit basic but I always get caught up on the idea, I'm not in school for physics so I don't really have a prof to ask and most of the internet always skips ahead of this. Say I am in an inertial frame traveling close to C speed, the only thing I see is a photon...- Lavar
