Hi Y'all,
Hope all is well for the holidays.
I am a senior and headed toward a BS in Biochemistry. But I have been doing research with a guy who does environmental remediation for 2 years. I think that that is where my heart lies. I want to develop more specialization especially because my...
Assuming F' sends the reply signal instantly, I do not have to account for if F' moved between receiving and sending?
I can just double the time that I calculated with c*t=.5c(t+10).
Thank you. I think I can calculate this with c*t=.5c(t+10).
Does it matter for the final answer that I am calculating all of these distances and times in frame of F even when F' is the one that sends a signal back?
And .5c is the speed in the time frame of the Earth.
If I keep all of my events, signal send and signal received in F's frame and F is inert, then I do not need to use Lorentz' transformation?
If I am thinking about this correctly, the first event is F sending a signal at 10 seconds (his...
Hi All,
An observer, F, stands on Earth. A spaceship, F', is also on Earth. Their clocks are set at 0. The spaceship then leaves Earth at .5c. After 10 seconds, F sends a light signal to F'. As soon as F' receives the signal, F' sends a light signal back. When does F receive this signal from...
