Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

The quantities v, K, U, and L all represent physical quantities characterizing the orbit that depend on radius R. Indicate the exponent (power) of the radial dependence of the absolute value of each. Express your answer as a comma-separated list of exponents corresponding to v, K, U, and L, in that order. For example, -1,-1/2,-0.5,-3/2 would mean v ∞ R¹, K & R-¹/2, and so forth.
O Jupiter's third-largest natural satellite, lo, follows an orbit with a semimajor axis of 422,000 km (4.22 × 105 km) and a period of 1.77 Earth days (Plo = 1.77 d). To use Kepler's Third Law, we first must convert lo's orbital semimajor axis to astronomical units. One AU equals 150 million km (1 AU = 1.50 x 108 km). Convert lo's a value to AU and record the result. alo = AU

A coordinate plane has a horizontal axis labeled t (s) and a vertical axis labeled x (m). There are two curves graphed on the plane. The first is a straight line which runs from (0,13.3) to (3.5,0). The second is a curve which begins at (1,11), moves down and to the right with a slope that becomes gradually less steep until it is horizontal at approximately (4,2), then moves upward and to the right with an increasing slope until it ends at approximately (6.5,7). The two curves meet at approximately (2,6.0).
A ferris wheel has a radius of 75 feet and its center is 80 feet above the ground. You ride the wheel once around and get off. (a) Find a function that expresses your height in terms of the angle of rotation of the wheel since you boarded. Be sure to give the function a name and define its input and output (with units) in complete sentences. Include the function's domain. Explain your reasoning clearly. (b) When you are 108 feet above the ground for the second time, the wheel comes to a stop. It then turns through a small angle and stops again. Ap- prorimate the change in your height in terms of this small angle of rotation. Be sure to define these changes precisely and to erplain your logic. (c) Suppose the wheel turned through an angle of 2° as described in part (b). Use your result of part (b) to approximate the change in your height.

Astronomers need to identify the position of objects in the sky with very high precision. For that,it is essential to have coordinate systems that specify the position of an object at a given time.One of them is the equatorial coordinate system that is widely used in astronomy.(a) Explain how the equatorial coordinate system works.(b) What is the meaning of J2000 that oen occurs together with equatorial coordinates?The object NGC 4440 is a galaxy located in the Virgo Cluster at the following equatorial coordinates (J2000): 12h 27m 53.6s(right ascension), 12◦170 3600 (declination). The Calar Alto Observatoryis located in Spain at the geographical coordinates 37.23◦N and 2.55◦W.(c) Is the NGC 4440 galaxy observable from the Calar Alto Observatory?
(a) Jupiter's third-largest natural satellite, Io, follows an orbit with a semimajor axis of 422,000 km (4.22 ✕ 105 km) and a period of 1.77 Earth days (PIo = 1.77 d). To use Kepler's Third Law, we first must convert Io's orbital semimajor axis to astronomical units. One AU equals 150 million km (1 AU = 1.50 ✕ 108 km). Convert Io's a value to AU and record the result. aIo = AU (b) One Earth year is about 365 days. Convert Io's orbital period to Earth years and record the result. PIo = yr (c) Use the Kepler's Third Law Calculator to calculate Jupiter's mass in solar units. Record the result. MJup(Io) = MSun (d) Based on this result, Jupiter's mass is about that of the Sun. Jupiter has a similar fraction of the Sun's volume. The two objects therefore have rather similar density! In fact, Jupiter has a fairly similar composition as well: most of its mass is in the form of hydrogen and helium.
