1, Two observers, A on earth and B in a spacecraft whose speed is 2.0 x 10° mis, both set their ‘watches to the same time when the ship is abreast of the earth, How much time must elapse by A's reckoning before the watches differ by 1.00 s? 2. At what speed does the kinetic energy of a particle equal its rest energy. 3. A photon is moving with speed less than c in vacuum. True or false. 4, How fast must a spacecraft travel relative to the earth for ¢ correspond to 2 days on the earth? ch day on the spacecraft to 5, An electron has a kinetic energy of 0.100 MeV. Find its speed according to classical and relativistic mechanies. 6. An electron has speed greater than speed of light True or false. 7. A certain particle has a lifetime of 1.00 * 107 s when measured at rest. How far does it go before decaying if its speed is 0.99¢ when itis created? 8, How much work (in MeV) must be done to increase the speed of an electron from 1.2 * 10" mi see to 2.4 x 10° m/sec? 9, Time measured by a moving and stationary observer between two events is always same. True or false, 10. An astronaut whose height on the earth is exactly 6 ft is lying parallel to the axis of a spacecraft moving at 0.90¢ relative to the earth. What is his height as measured by an observer in the same spacecraft? By an observer on the earth? 11. Find the momentum (in MeV/c) of an electron whose speed is 0.60c. The rest mass of an electron is 0.511 MeV. 12. Two events which are simultaneous in one frame of reference are simultaneous in any other frame of reference. True or false.
