Problem 1: The energy E of a particle of mass m moving at speed v is given by: E2 = m2 c4 + p2 c2 (1) p=γmv (2) 1 γ = 1−v2/c2 (3) This means that if something is at rest, it’s energy is mc2. We can define a kinetic energy to be the difference between the total energy of an object given by equation (1) and the rest energy mc2. What would be the kinetic energy of a baseball moving at half the speed of light? Give your answer in Joules but also in tons of TNT equivalent. For context, the worst nuclear weapons are measured in megatons. Do you think we could ever accelerate a baseball to half the speed of light?
Problem 2: As we said in lecture, if you heat something up, it becomes more massive! Imagine you took 1 kg of water and heated it up by 50 deg C. By how much would it’s mass increase because of this heating? You might have to look up the heat capacity of water.

A long, straight wire carrying a current of 3.00 A moves with a constant speed v to the right. A 5-turn circular coil of diameter 1.25 cm, and resistance of 3.25 µΩ, lies stationary in the same plane as the straight wire. At some initial time, the wire is at a distance
d = 19.5 cm
from the center of the coil. 4.55 s later, the wire is at a distance 2d from the center of the coil. What is the magnitude and direction of the average induced current in the coil? Note that while the magnetic field varies over the diameter of the coil, it is very small and we will disregard this variation.

Suppose a 2-dimensional space is spanned by the coordinates (v,
x) and that the line
element is defined by:
ds2 = -xdv2 + 2dvdx
i) Assuming that the nature and properties of the spacetime line
element still hold,
show that a particle in the negative x-axis can never venture into
the positive
x-axis. That is, show that a particle becomes trapped if it travels
into the
negative x-axis.
ii) Draw a representative light cone that illustrates how a
particle is trapped.
