    Relativity Question: Airliner -- Light & ball movement

    *Correction* "At this point we were taught only about inertial/non-inertial frames of reference, time dilation and simultaneity..." Had to fix that in my last post. So when you're saying "should be fine", you're saying that based on what I learned, my answer to part a i) is correct? I just...

    Relativity Question: Airliner -- Light & ball movement

    Hi mfb, Re a) i & ii) : At this point we weren't taught about inertial/non-inertial frames of reference, time dilation and simultaneity, with no other equations other than that for time dilation. So based on this info, are both these answers correct? Thank you! (I'm curious though, which...

    Relativity Question: Airliner -- Light & ball movement

    Homework Statement Imagine that you are flying on an airliner on a long flight to Europe at a constant speed of 300 m/s a) you throw a ball towards the back of the plane at 20 m/s. You then shine a beam of light towards the back of the plane. How will these two things i) the ball and ii) the...

    How Do You Solve Two-Dimensional Wave Interference Problems?

    I believe so. I will present the info as is with a "disclaimer" stating the inaccuracies due large source and nodal/antinodal points, how they should be close or exact in value. This way it shows that I know understand what is going on. Thanks again!

    How Do You Solve Two-Dimensional Wave Interference Problems?

    Amadinger, Great video! Thank you for the link. But the more I look at this, I am wondering something. As you've confirmed, both wavelengths should be close or/the same value, but should it mean also that these values also should be close to/the same as the wavelength measurement taken directly...

    How Do You Solve Two-Dimensional Wave Interference Problems?

    Hi, Ok. So I remeasured the sources to the points a little more accurately. I also have sketchup. Never thought to use it as I thought that a ruler would have been accurate enough. But I'll import it and measure accordingly just to see. Measuring w/ ruler I get... Source 1 to the top nodal...

    How Do You Solve Two-Dimensional Wave Interference Problems?

    Hi amandinger, I am sorry for the confusion. I pasted the link as the photo had already been uploaded from another source. Should I reload with a mm scale? Or is this better...The photo (coloured part) measures 74mm W x 87mm L. I looked at this website, but I still don't know what I am doing...

    Help: Two frictionless pucks are placed on a level surface

    I think that I am having trouble understanding how the conservation of energy is applied to the moving charges. From what I am now understanding is that the conservation of energy equation, when applied to these problems should be...Etki + Eei= Etkf+ Eef. Is this right? In this case, I am to...
