A teaching tape for ME-02, inertia from the small-speed coefficient

toward low speed

Teaching tape that walks the observer speed toward zero so the proxy can stabilize.

Open ME-02 with these settings

Where it starts

The settings the tape begins from, under the constant set modern-si-2019. Values are the model's own, not the laboratory control's display: a radius of 5e-7 is half a micrometre.
SettingValue
Observer speed v/c (beta)0.6
Emitted energy L (emittedEnergy)1

What it changes, and what to expect

  1. Set Observer speed v/c (beta) to 0.1 describes the same world from somewhere else

  2. Set Observer speed v/c (beta) to 0.01 describes the same world from somewhere else

  3. Set Observer speed v/c (beta) to 0 describes the same world from somewhere else

    Analytic limit at zero speed

    At vanishing speed the identified coefficient is L/c^2, an analytic limit.

These are the values the tape's author recorded, not a result this page computed. Nothing here runs the instrument. Open ME-02 with these settings: the link opens it with them already in place. Compare what it gives you with what is recorded here. The settings travel in the link and the laboratory reads them as it loads, so without JavaScript it opens at its worked example instead.
