    Special relativity: rectangular box moving 0.5c

    Ok i found the mistake, gamma should be 1.1547, making L(a) 1.22456m, and the area 13.85m^3, if i am right

    How Far Will a Rock Travel Horizontally from a Volcano When Ejected at an Angle?

    separate your x and y components x: v0x=170cos30 x=? t= from y y: v0y =170sin30 a =-9.81m/s^2 y = -1750m t = solve for t using y=v0*t+(1/2)at^2 then plug t into your x component to get x (make sure to keep your initial y velocity positive and your acceleration and y distance negative)

    I had it backwards, 16m^3 was my S', 12 was what i got for S.

    Special relativity: rectangular box moving 0.5c

    Homework Statement A rectangular box at rest in S' has sides a'=2m, b'=2m, c'=4m. The side c' is parallel to z' axis of S'; the side b' forms an angle 45deg with x' axis of S'. S' moves with v=0.5c with respec to S, along its x axis. Find the volume of the box in S and S'. Homework...
