- In 2010, a 20-year-old astronaut leaves her twin on earth and goes on a rocket to explore the galaxy. The rocket moves at 2.9 x 108 m/s during the voyage. It returns to earth in the year 2040.
a. Using relativity, calculate the age of the returning astronaut.
b. Find the length of the rocket in the earth’s frame of reference when it is moving, given that the rest length is 120 m. Assume you are a stationary observer viewing the rocket from the side.

- 2. Please help me answer these questions, well explained. A spacecraft travelling at a speed of 0.95 c goes from the planet Jupiter to the planet Pluto. A. If an observer on planet Jupiter measures the length of the vessel as 55 m, how long is it when it is stationary? B. A monkey inside the ship has a pulse of 116 beats/min when he is on the earth. What is his pulse inside the ship?You are the pilot of a spacecraft intended for travel at very high speeds. Before leaving you measure the spacecraft to be 31.4 m long and have a mass of 5.28 x 104 kg. During your travel, you pass a planet and exchange information with an observer on the planet. You are told that your spacecraft has been measured to be 28.6 m long. a. How fast is your spacecraft travelling with respect to the planet? b. You are told there is a nearby planet that is stationary with respect to the first planet. The observer on the first planet says it will take you 25 s to reach the nearby planet. How far away does your co-pilot on the spacecraft say the nearby planet is? c. How much energy was required to accelerate your spacecraft to this speed?1. Two atomic clocks are synchronized. One is placed on a satellite, which orbits around the earth at high speed for a whole year. The other is placed in a lab and remains at rest, with respect to the earth. You may assume that both clocks can measure time accurately to many significant digits. a. Will the two clocks still be synchronized after one year? Explain your reasoning. b. Imagine that the speed of light was much slower than its actual value. How would the results of this experiment change if the speed of light was only twice the average speed of the satellite? Explain your reasoning, using a calculation.
- The space and time coordinates for two events as measured in a frame S are as follows: Event 1: x1=x0 , t1=x0/c Event 2: x2=2x0, t2=x0/2c a. There exists a frame in which these events occur at the same time. Find the velocity of this frame with respect to S. b. What is the value of t at which both events occur in the new frame?2. Please help me answer these questions, well explained. A spacecraft travelling at a speed of 0.95 c goesfrom the planet Jupiter to the planet Pluto. A. If an observer on planet Jupiter mesures thelength of the vessel as 55 m, how long is it when it is stationary? B. A monkey inside the ship has a pulse of 116beats/min when he is on the earth. What is his pulse inside the ship?A rocket with a proper length of 1500 m moves at a speed of 0.87c directly away from an observer on earth. an astronaut standing at the centre of the rocket fires two electrons at a speed 0.99c through a vacuum pipe. One electron is aimed toward the centre of the rocket, the other toward the rear. a. In the astronaut's frame, calculate the time interval between the electron reaching the front of the rocket and the other electron reaching the rear. b. In the Earth observer's frame, calculate the length of the rocket, and the speed of the two electrons moving towards the front and the rear of the rocket.
- This is the question please answerTwo atomic clocks are synchronized. One is placed on a satellite which orbits around the earth at high speeds for a whole year. The other is placed in a lab and remains at rest with respect to the earth. You may assume both clocks can measure time accurately to many significant digits. a)Will the two clocks still be synchronized after one year? b) imagine the speed of light is much lower than its actual value. How would the results of this experiment change if the speed of light was only twice the average speed of the satellite? Explain your reasoning using a calculation.Spaceship R is moving to the right at a speed of 0.733c with respect to Earth. A second spaceship, L, moves to the left at the same speed with respect to Earth. What is the speed of L with respect to R?? c
