- Michale is decided to buy a ticket to go to space. After meticulously planning his journey, he travels in his vessel at speed 7/10c from Earth to the nearby planet, Alfa-0 , 20 light-years away (as measured in the common rest frame of Earth and Alfa-0). He spends a year (as measured in Earth- Alfa-0 frame) on this foreign planet sharing stories of human history to aliens. Finally, he is ready to head home. His hosts, charmed by his friendliness and the stories of his wonderful home, give him their best space ship for the return voyage. In this new ship, he travels at speed 95/100 c. Let W be Michael's departure from Earth (which we can set as the origin of the reference frame), X his arrival to the Alfa-0, Y his departure from the Alfa-0, and Z his arrival back to Earth. a. Draw the spacetime diagram from the rest frame of the Earth - Alfa-0 system, indicating Michale's worldline, and the events, W, X, Y, Z. (A rough sketch will suffice - do not worry about the angles. b. Find the…A spaceship moves by Earth at 2.8×108 m/s. A satellite moves by Earth in the opposite direction at 1.3×108 m/s. Use the Galilean transformation to calculate the speed vsatellite,x of the satellite relative to the spaceship. vsatellite,x = ? m/sWhy do we not observe relativistic effects in our daily lives? O Because motion is relative. O Because you can't go back in time. Because the math is too hard. O We do observe relativistic effects in our daily lives. This is why time sometimes appears to pass more quickly than usual. O Because relativity only effects particles such as electrons & protons. O Because the speeds we move at are much less than the speed of light.

- Answer both of the following questions regarding Special Relativity: a) An astronaut leaves their twin behind on Earth and departs on a journey on a spacecraft travelling at a speed of 0.840c. After 40.0 years pass on Earth, the astronaut returns to Earth to find that their age is now different from their twin. Both twins were 20 years old when the journey started. How old is the astronaut upon returning to Earth?The special theory of relativity is "special" because it deals only with a certain type of reference frames, inertial reference frames. What are inertial reference frames?3) The new Earth-Pluto SuperShuttle boasts that it can take you between the two planets, which are 5.0 hours apart in 2.5 hours (according to your watch). What time interval is measured by people in the Earth-Pluto frame? What is the shuttle's speed?
