- A Martian leaves Mars in a spaceship that is heading to Venus. On the way, the spaceship passes earth with a speed v = 0.76c relative to it. Assume that the three planets do not move relative to each other during the trip. The distance between Mars and Venus is 1.20 × 1011 m, as measured by a person on earth. (a) What does the Martian measure for the distance between Mars and Venus? L = (b) What is the time of the trip (in seconds) as measured by the Martian? Δto =Spaceships A and B move in opposite directions at the same speed of 0.863c relative to earth, with A moving away from earth and B moving toward earth. Find the velocity of B relative to A.Two rocket ships approach Earth from opposite directions, each with a speed of 0.85c relative to Earth. What is the speed of one ship relative to the other?
- A spaceship travels from Mercury to Mars at a speed of 0.81c relative to the Earth. Assume Earth, Mars and Mercury don’t move relative to each other. The time of the trip as measured by an Earth observer is 700 seconds. W What is the distance between Mercury and Mars as measured by a passenger on the spaceship?If a spaceship is approaching the Earth at 0.100c and a message capsule is sent toward it at 0.100c relative to the Earth, what is the speed of the capsule relative to the ship?Consider a particle moving with a speed of 0.99c. How fast does the particle need to move in order to double its momentum?
- A spacecraft is moving at speed 0.61c relative to two star systems—star system A and star system B— that are always the same distance apart with respect to each other. Observers aboard the spacecraft measure the time taken to travel from start system A to star system B as 23.22 years. What is the distance between the two star systems, in light-years, as measured by an observer that is bound to star system B.A spaceship travels at 0.818c relative to Earth. If the spaceship fires a small rocket in the forward direction, how fast (relative to the ship) must it be fired for it to travel at 0.870c relative to Earth?A starship moves away from Mars at a speed of 0.75c relative to Mars. The starship launched a small rocket with the length of 13 m as measured by an observer on the starship. The small rocket moves in the same direction as the starship at a speed of 0.40c relative to the starship. i) Find the velocity of the small rocket relative to Mars.ii) Calculate the length of the small rocket as measured by an observer on Mars.
- A 1 km spacecraft is racing towards the Sun at 0.75c. Using equations given in class, calculate the spacecraft length you measure from Earth. Treat Earth as not moving compared to the spacecraft's motion of 0.75 c.The nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.3 light years away. The spacecraft Potemkin is sent to this star at a constant velocity of 0.73c, and the craft carries a light beacon that flashes once a day to signal the earth that all is well. While traveling to the star the Potemkin passes a similar ship returning from the star at the same speed. How long does the trip take according to the space travelers inside the Potemkin? (b) (a) How long does the trip take according to Earth observers? (c) According to the space travelers inside the Potemkin, what is the distance to Proxima Centauri? (d) What is the speed of the returning craft as seen from the Potemkin What is the rate at which flashes are seen on Earth from the Potemkin? (e) (f) What is the rate of flashes sent by the returning craft as seen by the Earth observers?a) Galactus tries to destroy the Earth by stopping the Moon in its orbit. What effect would this have on the Moon and on the Earth? b) To prevent this, Flash (sorry, wrong company) runs to the Moon at a speed of 0.998c. From his point of view, the trip takes 0.126 s. How long does it take from our point of view on Earth?
