Question:

"The mathematical term \|* 1-(v^2/c^2) is fundamental to our understanding of einsteins theory of special relativity." *its a square root sign:rofl:

(a) State qualitatively how the value of this mathemetical term varies as the velocity (v) increases.

(b) outline how thie mathemetical term accounts for:
  • Length Contraction
  • Time Dilation
Help!

a- as v increases, the term get closer to zero (when v=c, it equals 0)
b- as v->c, l->0, m->infinity

I will struggle to get 80 in this exam.

Never did I say that I wasn't one of those people who don't even know the most basic relativity principles the day before the exam.

Ok, I rephrase. Most people can achieve 95+

Its coming up with the motivation/care that is the hard part.

Doing your best? That is a line our teachers feed us every day to make us feel better about ourselves, all it does is makes us more complacent and in the end lose self esteem when we keep hearing it.

I know that I feel weak when I hear it, although that does help because it encourages me to work so i don't have to be treated like an idiot.

Well, I am saying that you can do better. I am no better than the rest. I just said I will go poorly in this exam.

Anyway, I finish tomorrow and I am relieving stress on the friendly bos community.

Even without meaning it, bos is so kind to me :)

Still dont understand your initial motive in saying you hope everyone is like me in the exam.

95 isnt easy to get, and if it is
EDIT: Which its not
Why do you say you will get 80.

Your MichaelsonMorely looking for the aether.

Because I have done no work for physics all year :)

Its about faith. I am a aether believer. Are YOU?

While we are at it. I would like to propose a new medium.
It is completely undetectable and it is used for the propagation of lies.

No. It was proved Null. Hope that helps in the exam.
See a doctor.
