The Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) accelerates
electrons to c=0.99999997c in a 3.10 km-long
tube.
Part A
If they travel the length of the tube at full speed (they don't, because they are accelerating), how long is the tube in the electrons'
reference frame?

Shown is a Peggy standing at the center of her railroad car as it passes Ryan on the ground. Firecrackers attached to the ends of the car explode. A short time later, the flashes from the two explosions arrive at Peggy at the same time.a. Were the explosions simultaneous in Peggy’s reference frame? If not, which exploded first? Explain.b. Were the explosions simultaneous in Ryan’s reference frame. If not, which exploded first? Explain.
A large hot air balloon rising vertically is tracked by an observer located 4 miles from the lift-off point. At a certain moment, the angle theta between the observer's line of sight and the horizontal is pi/3, and it is changing at a rate of 0.1 rad/min. Let h be the height of the balloon at time t. Choose all of the following that is correct.
a. tan(theta) = h/4
b. at the moment when theta = pi/3, the balloon is rising at the rate 96 mph
c. tan(theta) = 4h
d. at the moment when theta = pi/3, the balloon is rising at the rate 0.8 mph
e. dh/dt = (4)/(cos(^2)*theta) * (d*theta/dt)
