Homework Statement
gammav is a reasonable measure of the size of relativistic effects. Roughly speaking, at what speed would observations deviate from classical expectations by 1%?
Homework Equations
gammav = 1/ [sqrt91.v2) / c2]
The Attempt at a Solution
I've honestly puzzled...
Okay. So does that mean that I should use the formula t = gammav x t0 ?
Then I could plug in 100 x 10-6 for t0 since this is how long it took in anna's frame of reference?
This gives me 1.25 x 10-5 as my t. and then can I use this t instead to find length?
But I still get a very similar...
Homework Statement
Anna is on a railroad flatcar moving at 0.6c relative to Bob. Her arm is outstretched in the dirction the flatcar moves, and in her hand is a flashbulb. According to her wristwatch, the bulb goes off at 100 ns. This even according to Bob differs by 27 ns.
a) is it earlier...
