The length of a meter stick moving at 0.95c in the direction of its length with respect to the laboratory is measured by simultaneously marking its ends on an axis which is stationary in the laboratory. As measured by clocks moving with the stick, the time interval between the making of the back mark and the making of the front mark is: 0 s 1.1 × 10-9 s 3.2 × 10-9 s 3.5 × 10-9 s 1.1 × 10-8 s

The two ends of a length of chain are attached so that the chain makes a circle. If the chain is then spun very quickly, it can roll along the ground like a bicycle tire without crumpling. Consider the rolling chain shown in the figure. Assume the chain has uniform linear mass density μ and its center of mass moves to the right at a speed v0. (a) Determine the tension in the chain in terms of μ and v0. Assume the weight of an individual link is negligible compared to the tension. T = (b) If the loop rolls over a small bump, the resulting deformation of the chain causes two transverse pulses to propagate along the chain, one moving clockwise and one moving counterclockwise. What is the speed of the pulses traveling along the chain? (Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary.) v = (c) Through what angle (in rad) does each pulse travel during the time interval over which the loop makes one revolution? (Assume the angle is measured clockwise from the ground. ) clockwise-traveling pulse rad counterclockwise-traveling pulse rad

A ship is moving at a speed of 40 km/h parallel to a straight shoreline. The ship is 8 km from shore, and it passes a lighthouse at noon. (a) Express the distance s (in km ) between the lighthouse and the ship as a function of d, the distance the ship has traveled since noon; that is, find f so that s = f(d). s = f(d) = km (b) Express d (in km ) as a function of t (in hours), the time elapsed since noon; that is, find g so that d = g(t). d = g(t) = km (c) Find f∘g. (f∘g)(t) = What does this function represent? This function represents the distance between the lighthouse and the ship as a function of the time elapsed since noon. This function represents time elapsed since noon as a function of the distance between the lighthouse and the ship.
