- Electromagnetic radiation from a star is observed with an earth-based telescope. The star is moving away from the earth with a speed of 0.580c. If the radiation has a frequency of 8.64 x 1014 Hz in the rest frame of the star, what is the frequency measured by an observer on earth?What is the momentum of a proton moving at a speed of v = 0.75c?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?

Two cultures of these bacteria are prepared, each consisting initially of one bacterium. One culture is left on earth and the other placed on a rocket that travels at a speed of 0.996c relative to the earth. At a time when the earthbound culture has grown to 64 bacteria, how many bacteria are in the culture on the rocket, according to an earth-based observer? Number i Units
