Two friends (A and B) have planned a meeting at 9 am at their office. Friend A reached the office at 9 am according to A's watch, while B reached the office at 8:55 am according to B's watch. Yet, when B reached the office, A's watch showed 9:05 am. A argues that B's watch was slow since he drove fast, and that his time of 9:05 am is correct. Are their arguments correct? What assumptions have they made? Discuss this scenario in terms of Einstein's special relativity. Remember to include the following information: Einstein's special relativity. Time dilation. Length contraction.

The place you get your hair cut has two nearly parallel mirrors 6.00 m apart. as you sit in the chair, your head is 2.00 m from the nearer mirror. looking toward this mirror, you first see your face and then, farther away, the back of your head. (the mirrors need to be slightly nonparallel for you to be able to see the back of your head, but you can treat them as parallel in this problem.) how far away does the back of your head appear to be?

Aboat radioed a distress call to a coast guard station. at the time of the call, a vector a from the station to the boat had a magnitude of 45.0 km and was directed 15.0° east of north. a vector from the station to the point where the boat was later found is = 30.0 km, 15.0° north of east. what are the components of the vector from the point where the distress call was made to point where the boat was found? in other words, what are the components of vector c = b - a?
