Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?

Aparticle of mass m is placed in a one-dimensional box of length l. the box is so small that the particle’s motion is relativistic, so that e p2/2m is not valid. (a) derive an expression for the energy levels of the particle using the relativistic energy–momentum relation and the quantization of momentum that derives from connement. (b) if the particle is an electron in a box of length l 1.00 1012 m, nd its lowest possible kinetic energy. by what percent is the nonrelativistic formula for the energy in error?
