2 particles with mass M and Kinetic Engergy T moving toward each other.
what is the kinetic energy T' as it measured by the other particle
given data: T=...
m=...

thanks

training for test

that's what i did, could anyone tell what's my prob here:
for first particle
T=mc^2(r-1)
since we're working with Mev , c=1
T=m(r-1)
r=T/M+1
therefore
(1) V^2=T/(T+M)
(V is speed of particle one according to "the lab")

therefore the speed of particle2 is -V (simetry)
now we use additional formula
u1=(u1'+u3)/(1+u1'u3)
whille u1 is velocity of particle1 according to the lab (u1=V)
u1' is velocity of particle 1 according to particle 2
u3 is the velocity between lab to particle2 (u3=-V)
therefore
u1'=2V/(V^2+1)

now i look on kinetic energy of particle 1 according to particle 2:
T'=m(r-1)
while r=1/sqrt(1-u1'^2)
i assigned u1' & V and got
T'=4/3M
this isn't correct..
 
OK, so this has bugged me for a while about the equivalence principle and the black hole information paradox. If black holes "evaporate" via Hawking radiation, then they cannot exist forever. So, from my external perspective, watching the person fall in, they slow down, freeze, and redshift to "nothing," but never cross the event horizon. Does the equivalence principle say my perspective is valid? If it does, is it possible that that person really never crossed the event horizon? The...
ASSUMPTIONS 1. Two identical clocks A and B in the same inertial frame are stationary relative to each other a fixed distance L apart. Time passes at the same rate for both. 2. Both clocks are able to send/receive light signals and to write/read the send/receive times into signals. 3. The speed of light is anisotropic. METHOD 1. At time t[A1] and time t[B1], clock A sends a light signal to clock B. The clock B time is unknown to A. 2. Clock B receives the signal from A at time t[B2] and...
From $$0 = \delta(g^{\alpha\mu}g_{\mu\nu}) = g^{\alpha\mu} \delta g_{\mu\nu} + g_{\mu\nu} \delta g^{\alpha\mu}$$ we have $$g^{\alpha\mu} \delta g_{\mu\nu} = -g_{\mu\nu} \delta g^{\alpha\mu} \,\, . $$ Multiply both sides by ##g_{\alpha\beta}## to get $$\delta g_{\beta\nu} = -g_{\alpha\beta} g_{\mu\nu} \delta g^{\alpha\mu} \qquad(*)$$ (This is Dirac's eq. (26.9) in "GTR".) On the other hand, the variation ##\delta g^{\alpha\mu} = \bar{g}^{\alpha\mu} - g^{\alpha\mu}## should be a tensor...
