Calculating Relative Motion of A, B, & C: Agree?

This is indirectly addressed in some posts but I can't find a direct answer to the following: consider moving frames A, B, and C (e.g., A, B, and C are 3 trains moving at different speeds on the same track; or A is a train, B is a person walking inside the train holding a tray, and C is a wind-up toy moving along the tray; etc.). Now observers in each frame calculate the speed of the objects in the two other frames relative to them. Will these calculations always agree reciprocally--e.g., will a person in A calculate a speed for the motion of C that is the same (magnitude) as the speed calculated by a person in C for the motion of A? I believe the answer is "yes" but would like confirmation.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Yes. The speed of C with respect to A (as measured by A) is the same as the speed of A with respect to C (as measured by C).
 
What Doc Al mentioned can be accomplished by e.g. reciprocal (Doppler) radar measurements. Wsellers mentioned calculated speeds, for which the relativistic addition of velocities equation can be used to verify the answer in both directions, first with positive velocities and then with negative velocities.

Thanks to both for your prompt replies! (I wasn't sure that all that was needed to do the calculation theoretically was the addition of velocities equation, so the post from Jorrie clarifies that.)
 

Thread 'A sufficient condition for integrability of equation ##\nabla g=0##'

In Philippe G. Ciarlet's book 'An introduction to differential geometry', He gives the integrability conditions of the differential equations like this: $$ \partial_{i} F_{lj}=L^p_{ij} F_{lp},\,\,\,F_{ij}(x_0)=F^0_{ij}. $$ The integrability conditions for the existence of a global solution ##F_{lj}## is: $$ R^i_{jkl}\equiv\partial_k L^i_{jl}-\partial_l L^i_{jk}+L^h_{jl} L^i_{hk}-L^h_{jk} L^i_{hl}=0 $$ Then from the equation: $$\nabla_b e_a= \Gamma^c_{ab} e_c$$ Using cartesian basis ## e_I...

Thread 'Dirac's integral for the energy-momentum of the gravitational field'

Thread 'Dirac's integral for the energy-momentum of the gravitational field'

See Dirac's brief treatment of the energy-momentum pseudo-tensor in the attached picture. Dirac is presumably integrating eq. (31.2) over the 4D "hypercylinder" defined by ##T_1 \le x^0 \le T_2## and ##\mathbf{|x|} \le R##, where ##R## is sufficiently large to include all the matter-energy fields in the system. Then \begin{align} 0 &= \int_V \left[ ({t_\mu}^\nu + T_\mu^\nu)\sqrt{-g}\, \right]_{,\nu} d^4 x = \int_{\partial V} ({t_\mu}^\nu + T_\mu^\nu)\sqrt{-g} \, dS_\nu \nonumber\\ &= \left(...

Thread 'Hawking After 54 Years Confirmed: BH surfaces don't shrink'

Abstract The gravitational-wave signal GW250114 was observed by the two LIGO detectors with a network matched-filter signal-to-noise ratio of 80. The signal was emitted by the coalescence of two black holes with near-equal masses ## m_1=33.6_{-0.8}^{+1.2} M_{⊙} ## and ## m_2=32.2_{-1. 3}^{+0.8} M_{⊙}##, and small spins ##\chi_{1,2}\leq 0.26 ## (90% credibility) and negligible eccentricity ##e⁢\leq 0.03.## Postmerger data excluding the peak region are consistent with the dominant quadrupolar...
