Would it be equally acceptable to have a similar diagram but with the light coming from an external source (e.g. lightning strike), and say that the outside observer sees them as simultaneous while the inside observer doesn't?

Simply 1 + a/g

anyone know how to find thrust?

Thrust = force. So you can use f=ma or something

A particle accelerator is capable of accelerating a proton to a speed of 0.99c. Calculate the mass of this proton as measured from the reference frame of the collider.

Use mass dilation equation

well it's actually sigmaF = ma
so T-mg = ma
and T = ma+mg

re: HSC Physics Marathon Archive

I've almost done all of the hsc questions for space and I haven't seen one which requires you to find thrust. I wouldn't worry

 

[astroman]

re: HSC Physics Marathon Archive

well it's actually sigmaF = ma
so T-mg = ma
and T = ma+mg

so which one's correct? i get different answers with both

its in one of my school's past papers so yea.

How do i use mass dilation equation?

No, this is the derivation process.
I simply explained that the sum of forces acting on a rocket during launch is thrust minus mass due to gravity
So the final equation for thrust is T = mg+ma

I think he is right. Mine was partially correct

mv = mo/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)
When travelling at relativistic speeds, outside observers will see that the mass of the proton increases
So sub mo = mass of proton (from data sheet) and you should get a mass larger than the stated mass

Ah...thx.

Just had a memory lapse which mass was m zero.

and forgot mass of proton was on data sheet.
