O Europa had many icy comets crash into the surface bring water to the moon and melting the water as it fell into the core. O Furopa formed with an unusual amount of liquid water in the core and the coldness of space wasn't able to freeze it. O upiter's strong gravitational force is causing Europa to flex in its orbit, leading to an increase in internal heating. O Europa's close proximity to Jupiter puts it into a gravitational tug-of-war with Jupiter's targest moon Ganymede. Question 10 How was Neptune discovered? O When a large comet broke up and hit the planet, the explosion was seen from Earth-based telescopes O From a large sky survey that identified the "blue-green" planet. O By watching…

It is possible to time travel? Support your answer using consequences of Special Relativity.
Suppose that you have found a way to convert the rest energy of any type of matter directly to usable energy with an efficiency of 61.0%. How many liters of water would be sufficient fuel to very slowly push the Moon 1.70 mm away from the Earth? The density of water is ?water=1.00kg/liter, the Earth's mass is ?earth=5.97×1024 kg, the Moon's mass is ?moon=7.36×1022 kg, and the separation of the Earth and Moon is ?E,M=3.84×108 m.

6. One of the potentially confusing things about special relativity is that it shows us that the time measured between two events depends upon your inertial frame of reference. In particular, two events that appear to be simultaneous in one inertial frame may be measured to occur at different times in a different inertial frame. Even more interesting is that Event 1 might occur either before or after (or at the same time as) Event 2, depending upon your reference frame! The proper interpretation of these facts is to say that nothing in physics forces two simultaneous events in one frame to be simultaneous in any other frame. However, what about the order of events when Event 1 CAUSES Event 2? For example, let's consider two events from a game of pool: 1) A cue ball, traveling at 10 m/s, hits the eight ball (of mass equal to the cue ball). An elastic collision transfers all the linear momentum of the cue ball to the eight ball. 2) 0.1 seconds later, the eight ball sinks in a corner…
