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 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
