4.5 Exercise 7

Avg difficulty 2.5

The coordinate axes of the reference frame S′S^{'} remain parallel to those of SS, as S′S^{'} moves away from SS at a constant velocity v→ S′S=(4.0i^+3.0j^+5.0k^)m/s.\overset{\rightarrow}{v}_{S^{'}}^{S} = \left(4.0 \hat{i} + 3.0 \hat{j} + 5.0 \hat{k}\right) \text{m} / \text{s} . (a) If at time t = 0 the origins coincide, what is the position of the origin O′O^{'} in the S frame as a function of time? (b) How is particle position for r→(t)\overset{\rightarrow}{r} \left(t\right) and r→′(t),\overset{\rightarrow}{r}^{'} \left(t\right) , as measured in S and S′,S^{'} , respectively, related? (c) What is the relationship between particle velocities v→(t)and v→′(t)?\overset{\rightarrow}{v} \left(t\right) \text{and} \overset{\rightarrow}{v}^{'} \left(t\right) ? (d) How are accelerations a→(t)and a→′(t)\overset{\rightarrow}{a} (\text{t}) \text{and} \overset{\rightarrow}{a}^{'} (\text{t}) related?
