In this lesson, we will learn how to interpret the world lines of objects in Minkowski diagrams.
Q1:
The following Minkowski diagrams show the world lines of different particles in an inertial frame 𝑆. Four of the diagrams show only hypothetical world lines, as they show a particle that for part or all of its world line moves faster than the speed of light. Which diagram shows the world line of a particle that at no point moves faster than the speed of light?
Q2:
The following Minkowski diagrams show the world lines of different particles in an inertial frame 𝑆. Which diagram shows a particle moving faster than the speed of light?
Q3:
The following Minkowski diagrams show the world lines of different particles in an inertial frame 𝑆. Which diagram shows a particle that does not move at a constant speed?
