Question 1

In an "atom smasher," two particles collide head on at relativistic speeds. If the velocity of the first particle is 0.741c to the left, and the velocity of the second particle is to the right (both as measured in the lab rest frame), how fast are the particles moving with respect to each other?
◦ 1.284c
◦ 0.834c
◦ 0.916c
◦ 0.934c

Question 2

As shown in the figure, the captain of spaceship A observes spaceship E escaping with a relative velocity of 0.35c. A missile M is fired from ship A directly toward ship E, with a velocity of 0.76c relative to ship A. What does the captain of ship E measure for the velocity of the missile M?



◦ 0.56c
◦ 0.41c
◦ 0.48c
◦ 0.52c
◦ 0.45c

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
