Design a carefully scaled and drawn Minkowski diagram depicting two reference frames P (x and t) and Q (x' and t') with Q moving at a speed of 0.6c in the positive x-direction with respect to P.

i) If event A occurs at x=1 and t=1 while event B occurs at x=1 t=2, determine the interval of time between these events as measured by an observer in Q. Suggest two other events and use them to demonstrate reciprocity of time dilation. Show the space-time interval is the same for P and Q

ii) If a meter stick is at rest in Q between x=1 and x=2, determine the length measured by an observer in P.

Two inertial frames of reference, denoted by S and S', are in uniform relative motion such that the origin O' moves at constant velocity V = V0(êxcosβ + êysinβ) relstive to O. In frame S, a particle moves along the space curve prescribed by the vector position r = êx4(3t^2 – t^4) + êy(t^3+2t)+êz(2t^2 +3t)^2. (a) Find the velocity of the particle relative to O′.

QUESTION 2 1. Two people in different inertial reference frames are observing a ball as it moves through the air. One person claims to observe the ball to go straight up and then straight down. The other person claims to observe the ball to move in a parabolic path. What can we say about these two claims? a. These two claims are mutually incompatible. The ball follows only a single path. Either it goes in a straight line up and...
