Special Relativity and Schwarzschild Radius
Not what you're looking for?
1. A particle is measured to have a kinetic energy that is four times its rest as energy. How fast is the particle moving? Express the speed as a fraction of c.
2. Write down the transformations that relate the electric field E and the magnetic field B in two different inertial frames. Use your result to show that E*B is the same for all inertial observers. You may choose the motion to be in the x-direction if you wish.
3. Define the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole and give a brief description of its significance.

1: Kinetic energy
K = 4*mo*c^2 = mo*c^2 [{1/sqrt(1- u^2/c^2)} - 1]
=> 4 = [{1/sqrt(1- u^2/c^2)} - 1]
=> 5 = 1/sqrt(1- u^2/c^2)
=> 1/25 = 1- u^2/c^2
=> u^2/c^2 = 1 - 1/25 = 24/25
=> u/c = sqrt(24)/5 --Answer
2: Let us assume frame S' moves along x-x' (common to S and S') with velocity v with respect to frame S.
Therefore,
E'x = Ex
E'y = g*(Ey - v*Bz)
E'z = g*(Ez + v*By)
B'x = Bx
B'y = g*(By + ...

- " In question 2, you incorrectly add in the $3.00 dividend that was just paid to determine the value of the stock price using the dividend discount model. In question 4 response, it should have also been recognized that dividend discount models are not useful if any of the parameters used in the model are inaccurate. "
