Hi!
I would like to know if there is any direct experimental evidence of the electron distribution inside of the hydrogen atom. In the Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_atom" you can see the solutions of the Schrödinger equation and the graphical representations of the...
Dear Vanadium,
please give me the correct equation for Newton's gravitational law in a moving frame of reference for a point mass. That would be helpful.
Sebastian.
You're probably right. So let's stick with the falling rock.
Forget the Pendulum, it is not getting my point across. Kev mentioned the weight suspended on a spring. Let us assume the weight is hovering a wee bit over a bug sitting on the earth. Now we look at the spring-weight-bug-earth system from a reference frame traveling at a high speed vertically to...
Vandadium, above you suggest that the decrease in Gravitational force (I suppose you you mistyped "increasing" in the quote above) can be explained by Lorentz-Transformation of the sources of the Gravitational field, i.e. that Lorentz contraction in the Earth-sphere or the bar causing...
I really believe that Kev is on the right track. Hoping to account for the 'missing gravity' through Lorentz-Contraction effects on the Gravitational mass or the pendulum length is besides the point. The paradox also works with a falling stone - see my previous post.
Dear Kev,
thank you for your answer.
To put your example in a formula. For a rock to fall a distance D in a Gravitational Field g, it takes the time:
t=sqrt(2D/g) (Equation 1)
In a reference frame moving at velocity v perpendcular to the Gravitational field g, this drop-time dilates...
I don't really see that the angle the pendulum makes changes anything: I can make the Pendulum swing at an angle as small as I want. Any effect due to the angle of the Pendulum would then become smaller. The velocity of the moving reference frame is assumed to be perpendicular to the 0° position...
Let us assume that v_reference >> v_pendulum, and that angle_pendulum<<1 (as is the case with the classical string pendulum). Then all relativistic effects due to the pendulum's angle can be neglected, I presume.
Hi,
I have the following problem:
The formula for the Period of a classic pendulum is T=sqrt(L/g)
Where: T: Period of the Pendulum suspended on a string.
g: Earth's acceleration (=G*Mass_of_Earth/(Radius_of_Earth)^2
L: Length of the Pendulum String
Now, let us...
