What color would you see if you were to shine a beam of yellow light and a beam of cyan light at the same spot on a white wall? (Warmup: Explain your answer. Review: Explain your answer by describing what happens to the relevant primary color components of light from the time the lights leave their respective sources to the time they enter your eye, and how your eye interprets that light.)

2. A rocket is moving at 1/4 c relative to Earth. At the center of this rocket, a light source suddenly flashes. To an observer at rest on Earth

a. the light pulse will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket.

b. the light pulse will reach the front of the rocket before it reaches the back of the rocket.

c. the light pulse will reach the front of the rocket after it reaches the back of the rocket.

3. An astronaut in an inertial reference frame measures a time interval Δt between her heartbeats. What will observers in all other inertial reference frames measure for the time interval between her heartbeats?

a. more than Δt

b. Δt

c. less than Δt

d. The answer depends on whether they are moving toward her or away from her.

4. The special theory of relativity predicts that there is an upper limit to the speed of a particle. It therefore follows that there is also an upper limit on the following properties of a particle.

a. the kinetic energy

b. the total energy

c. the linear momentum

d. more than one of these

e. none of these

5. In a linear collider, two particles travel toward each other from opposite directions before colliding. If, in the lab reference frame, an electron travels toward the collision point at 2/3 c and a positron travels at 3/4 c, at what speed does the electron travel toward the positron in the positron’s reference frame? (Be sure to show all of the steps of your calculation without using a calculator.)

Mass m = 0.1 kg moves to the right with speed v = 0.54 m/s and collides with an equal mass initially at rest. After this inelastic collision the system retains a fraction = 0.9 of its original kinetic energy. If the masses remain in contact for 0.01 secs while colliding, what is the average force in N between the masses during the collision? Hints: All motion is in 1D. Ignore friction between the masses and the horizontal surface. You will probably need to use the quadratic formula to solve the resulting equations. VR must be greater than VL since the masses can't pass through each other!
