The Millennium Falcon is approximately 35.2 m long. There are conflicting reports, but the Falcon made the Kessel Run in approximately 12.27 parsecs. This is an odd unit to measure speed with as a parsec is a unit of length equal to 3.26 light-year. The science FICTION comes in when you consider that ships in Star Wars use hyperdrive to travel faster than the speed of light, so they are able to make jumps through space. Han Solo picked difficult or dangerous points to jump between to make the trip so short. Let's imagine that the Millennium Falcon travels at 0.96c during the 12.27 parsec Kessel Run. What distance, in light-year, does an observer at the finish line measure for the trip? Don't forget to convert parsec to light-year. X light-year What distance, in light-year, does Han Solo measure for the trip as he pilots the ship? light-year Which person measures the proper distance of the trip? Which person would measure the proper length of the Millennium Falcon?
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/s
A light source G is moving, with respect to an observer O, at an angle 0 =117° between the direction of relative motion and the line of sight from O to G. The redshift of the light emitted by G and measured by O is z = 0. Find the speed of G with respect to O in units of c, the speed of light. Enter your answer to 3 decimal places. direction of relative motion G line of sight
The kinetic energy of a mass moving in the x-y plane is: T = mx² + my² Using the transformation = rcos (0) and y = rsin (0), derive a general expression for kinetic energy of the mass in the r, basis.
You are an astronomer on planet Tirth, which orbits a distant star. It has recently been accepted that Tirth is spherical in shape, though no one knows its size. One day, you learn that on the equinox your sun is directly overhead in the city of Tyene, located 450 kilometers due north of you. On the equinox, you go outside in Alectown and observe that the altitude of your sun is 85 ∘∘. What is the circumference of Tirth? Express your answer in kilometers to two significant figures.
How long should it take the voices of astronauts on the Moon to reach the Earth? Assume that the only significant time is the transit time from the Earth to the Moon, at the speed of light. Suppose that the astronaut on the surface of the Moon, the receiver on the surface of the Earth, and the centers of the Earth and the Moon are aligned. The distance between the centers of the Earth and the Moon is 384×103km, the radius of the Earth is 6.38×103km, the radius of the Moon is 1.74×103km.
When the Moon is directly overhead at sunset, the force by Earth on the Moon, FEM, is essentially at 90° to the force by the Sun on the Moon, FSM, as shown below. FEM=1.98×10^20N and FSM=4.36×10^20N, all other forces on the Moon are negligible, and the mass of the Moon is 7.35×10^22kg. 1. Write an expression for the magnitude of the acceleration of the Moon. 2. What is the acceleration of the Moon in m/s^2?

At a particular instant, in a coordinate frame chosen by us, the Earth (mass = 6 x 1024 kg) is at location (-7.30 × 106, -7.80 × 106, 3.73 × 106) m and the Moon (mass = 7 x 10²² kg) is at location (-1.35 × 108, -2.50 × 10³, 2.82 × 108) m. A satellite with mass 5000 kg is at location (-1.18 × 10³, -2.73 × 10³, 3.10 × 108) m. What is the net force on the satellite? Assume that the gravitional force of the Sun is negligible. net = i i !)N
