How do I calculate angles in a moving reference frame using relativity?

AI Thread Summary
To calculate angles in a moving reference frame using relativity, one must consider the velocity of the particle and the velocity of the reference frame. The angle μ formed by the particle with the X-axis in system O can be transformed to the moving system X' using the principles of Lorentz transformations. Key equations include the relativistic velocity addition formula and the tangent of the angle transformation. Understanding these concepts is crucial for solving problems related to moving reference frames. Clarification on these equations and concepts will aid in tackling the exercises effectively.

Certain particle moving with velocity v in a sitema O; its direction forms an angle μ with the axis X. To determine the corresponding angle in the system X´ which moves with velocity V over the system or in the positive direction of X axis if the X and X´ match.

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
