IB Physics HL A 5 7 Hl Relativistic Velocity Addition Topic Practice

Question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

An observer P sitting in a train moving at a speed v measures that his journey takes a time Δtp\Delta t_{\mathrm{p}}. An observer Q at rest with respect to the ground measures that the journey takes a time ΔtQ\Delta t_{\mathrm{Q}}.

A second train is moving at a velocity of -0.70 c with respect to the ground.
