E2. On
the spacetime diagram at right draw the following worldlines: A. Object at
rest at the origin O. B. Object
moving to the right through O at 1/2 c. C. Object
moving to the left through O at 1/2 c. D. Object
moving to the right through O at 0.8 c. E. Object moving
to the left through O at 0.8 c. F. Photon
moving to the right through O at c. G. Photon
moving to the left through O at c. H. Object at
rest at x = 3 cy. I. Object
starting at rest at x = 1 cy when t = 0 and which accelerates smoothly to the
right so as just to stay ahead of photon F. How fast is D going with respect to B? |
