    Finding the Critical Velocity for Special Relativity Effects

    Homework Statement For what value of v does Gamma (G) =1.0100? Observe that for speeds lower than this value, time dilationand length contraction are effects amounting to less that 1% Homework Equations L=Lp/G=Lp(1-(v^2/c^2))^2 The Attempt at a Solution I do not know where to...

    Twin Paradox and Time Travel (Special Relativity)

    Homework Statement Identical twins Speedo and Goslo join amigration from the Earth to Planet X. It is 20.0 light years away in a reference frame in which both planets are at rest. The twins, of the same age, depart at the same time on different spacecraft s. Speedo's craft travels steadily at...

    Roller coaster and Potential Energy

    Homework Statement A 1000 kg roller coaser train is intially at the top of a rise, at point A. It then moves 135 ft, at an angle of 40 degrees below the horizontal, to a lower point B. Choose the train at point B to be the zero configuration for gravitational potential energy. Find the...
