- A rocket travels along a line from the Sun to Saturn at a constant speed of 0.862c relative to the Sun. The distance from the Sun to Saturn is 1.43 x 1012 m, as measured by someone at rest with respect to the Sun. How long does the journey take (in minutes) as measured by an astronaut on the rocket? (Use c = 2.9979 × 108 m/s) minA particle has a lifetime, as measured in its own reference frame, of 2.86 µs. It propagates at a speed of 0.933c. How far does it go before disintegrating? Express your answer in meters and keep three significant digits.A subatomic particle moves through the laboratory at 0.90c. Laboratory experimenters measure its lifetime, from creation to annihilation, to be 2.3 ps (1 ps = 1 picosecond = 10-12 s). According to the particle, how long did it live?
- 1. An astronaut travels to a distant star with a speed of 0.46c relative to Earth. From the astronaut's point of view, the star is 4.40 ly from Earth. On the return trip, the astronaut travels with a speed of 0.90c relative to Earth. What is the distance covered on the return trip, as measured by the astronaut? Give your answer in ly f60 ss 0 ssf60* f60 ss 0 ssf6 ssf60 ssf6QA spaceship moves past Earth with a speed of 0.808c. As it is passing, a person on Earth measures the spaceship's length to be 78.7 m. HINT (a) Determine the spaceship's proper length (in m). m (b) Determine the time (in s) required for the spaceship to pass a point on Earth as measured by a person on Earth. s (c) Determine the time (in s) required for the spaceship to pass a point on Earth as measured by an astronaut onboard the spaceship. sHow far from the earth would you be able to travel in a lifetime of 88 years if you were able to travel at a constant speed of 0.67c?
- 22. Newly sprouted sunflowers can grow at a rate of 0.75 cm per day. One sunflower is left on Earth, and another one is placed on a spacecraft traveling away from Earth at a speed of 0.94c. How tall is the sunflower on the spacecraft (as measure by someone on the spacecraft) when a person on Earth says theirs is 4.5 cm tall? How tall is the sunflower on the spacecraft (as measured by the person on Earth)? (Note: The direction of sunflower growth is the same as the direction that the spaceship is moving)A rocket launched outward from Earth has a speed of 0.38c relative to the Earth. The rocket is directed toward an incoming meteor that may hit the planet. If the meteor moves with a speed of 0.70c relative to the rocket and directly toward it, what is the speed of the meteor as observed from Earth?If someone travels at v = 0.99c, she can become younger than her children (assuming the kids stay home on Earth). In one or two sentences, explain how this is possible.
- Two identical spaceships are under construction. The constructed length of each spaceship is 1.1 km. After being launched, spaceship A moves away from earth at a constant velocity (speed is 0.850c) with respect to the earth. Spaceship B follows in the same direction at a different constant velocity (speed is 0.6c) with respect to the earth. Determine the length that a passenger on one spaceship measures for the other spaceship.An elementary particle of a mass m, moving to the right with v=0.800 c after leaving an accelerator, collides with and sticks to an identical particle initially at rest. What is the speed of the combined particles? CHOICES: a. 0.300 c b. 0.400 c c. 0.500 c d. 0.600 cYou and your secret celebrity crush pass each other in rockets that are each traveling 0.56c relative to the other. Your secret celebrity crush takes a nap and you decide to time how long the nap takes. In your frame, the nap takes 1.7 h. How long was the nap in your secret celebrity crush's frame? Unbeknownst to you, your secret celebrity crush's agent is onboard the celebrity's rocket and saw you timing the nap. Concerned, the agent decides to time how long you were timing the nap. In the agent's frame, how long were you timing your secret celebrity crush's nap?
