Special Relativity: Worksheet 2 Time Dilation 1. An astronaut is circling the Earth in the ISS at a high speed. He measures the time it takes for a baseball to be thrown up, and fall back down in his Earth gravity simulated environment. On Earth, a NASA engineer observes this event through a telescope, and measures the time for this event as well.
The variables include acceleration (a), time (t), displacement (d), final velocity (vf), and initial velocity (vi). If values of three variables are known, then the others can be calculated using the equations. This page demonstrates the process with 20 sample problems and accompanying solutions.
1) How long does it take a car traveling at 45km/h to travel 100.0 m? 2) How far does a skateboarder travel in 22 s if his average velocity is 12.0 m/s? 3) A shopping cart moves from a point 3.0 m West of a flagpole to a point 18.0 m East of the flagpole in 2.5 s.
PHYSICS 11 KINEMATICS WORKSHEET 1 Read over your notes on uniform motion, time and displacement, and refer to Chapter 3 of the text to answer the following questions. 1. Explain why a person taking a round-trip flight to Hawaii will have travelled a long distance, yet have a net displacement of 0. 2. Winnie-the-Pooh went searching for honey.
Which timing is correct? In this chapter we will look at: . why scientists began to question the concept of absolute motion . how Einstein redefined our concept of motion. experimental evidence that supports Einstein’s theory of special relativity.
In this unit, we will take a careful look at the development of Newton’s theory of Universal Gravitation. Topics include: inertia, momentum, Newton’s laws, force and acceleration, action-reaction pairs, free body diagrams, collisions, centripetal force, conservation laws, and planetary motion.
in's theories of relativity, discussions of time travel ar. open to physicists as well. Special relativity unifies the concepts of time and space. General relativity goes . eyond unification and allows time and space to warp together in the presence of matter.
