Question

1. prelab for Physics 1250 ab "Specil Relathity Note: The lab itse lf is on WebAssign This is so you can check your answers during lab without waiting for your lab instructor to check each one. You should do the prelab before lab but do not do the lab itself before lab. What is e in meters per nanosecond? You "mea sure" or "observe" two events to occur at the same time, one nearby and one farther away. Which one did you ac tually see first? C the farther-anayone. O both at the same time O the closer one. Our two intre pid relacar drivers are named Pam and Ned. We use these names to make it easy to remember. measurements made by Pam are primed (,) and those made by Ned are not primed G, t). vis the velocity of Pam (the oher frame of reference) as measured by Ned What is the interpretati on of v? C The velocity of Pam as measured by Pam.O The velocity of Pam as measured by Ned. C The velocity of Ned as measured by Ned C The velocity of Ned as measured by Pam. The role of Pam and Ned are played by pink and biue pegs, which you can insert into the model relacars in order to help you blue? s the lab with your groupmates. Which is pink and wich is C Pam is pink and Ned is blue. C Ned is pink and Pam is bue as my whole group agrees It doesat mater as long

Explanation / Answer

"c" stands for speed of light which has the value as

c = 3 x 108 m/s

c = 3 x 108 m/s (1 s/(1 x 10-9) ns)

c = 3 x 1017 m/ns

the closer one
