william they don't both move to the left. while there is an emf induced in both, a current flows only in the second one. It is current, not emf, that makes them electromagnets, so only the second one moves.
I'm going to summarise, in very rigorous logic, the "B" argument, some "D" idiot tell me where you disagree...
1) We assume that we are ignoring acceleration
2) Therefore we approach the question with special relativity
3) Given that approach, both the spaceship and the Earth are...
Bannanafish i felt like an idiot when i first said you were wrong...but at least i could accept your explanation for b unlike some of these people (adam) who don't even understand relativity
let's leave it be
buddy it wasn't a displacement against time
it was a range against speed that we drew
oh and the graph they showed us was not an accelerated object...it was the displacement of the ball before it left the ledge, so no acceleration (ignoring friction)
"i'm not arguing that 16.7 is the correct answer, i'm arguing that BOS fucked the question, and that 16.7 is the answer that they'll mark correct."
the BOS won't give marks for something that is wrong, when it can be answered correctly using expected knowledge from the syllabus.
i'm not convinced that he is accelerating
i mean no-one here even knows how to calculate things taking general relativity into account
let alone it being in the syllabus
so i dunno how you can say "hence D", because 16.7 was an answer you (and I) got by calculating according to special...
adam you don't even understand that inertial frames are dealt with by special, not general relativity, let alone that in this question we have to consider the spaceship stationary to answer it
probably better to go with smeyo than me but i would have thought higher than 95, there are no shocker marks there and some really good ones (eg english, history ext)
"As for both seeing each other age more, this is only in special relativity. In general relativity (which we are talking about here, because there is no mention of any sort of acceleration, he is an inertial frame of reference),"
i rest my case
go and read a textbook or something
did anyone else mention how einstein used his influence to promote de broglie's work, meaning that it was considered seriously by other scientists (definitely a change in scientific thinking?)
although for the question i think it said compare so you probably had to point out similarities...like bohr kept rutherford's notion of a densely packed nucleus etc;
