- David is 30 years old, and his sister Alexis is 25 years old, when David leaves to travel to planet Rosebud. Planet Rosebud is 20 lightyears away, and at rest relative to the Earth, and David travels at 0.85c. When David begins his journey, he is 5 years older than Alexis. When David arrives at planet Rosebud, who is older (David or Alexis) and by how much?At what speed is the magnitude of the relativistic momentum of a particle three times the magnitude of the nonrelativistic momentum?

When an observer on the I.S.S. measures the moving vehicle, her measurement of the space vehicle length is 25.0 m. a) Determine the relativistic mass of the space vehicle. b) Determine the length of the space vehicle as measured by an astronaut on the space vehicle.
- John, in his spaceship, observes as Sally, in her spaceship, passes him at a speed of v=0.8c. John who was born and raised on his spaceship, is 20 years old. According to Sally, how old is he? How many birthday parties should he have had and how many presents should Sally have sent him?Spaceship A is moving toward the Earth at 0.80c, and spaceship B is moving away from Earth at the same speed, according to observers on a distant planet. At the same moment, very bright lights are turned on at the front of spaceship A and on the back of spaceship B. The light from a)Spaceship A reaches the planet before the light from spaceship B. b)both ships reaches the planet at the same time. b)either ship could reach the planet first, but there's no way to tell in advance. d) Spaceship B reaches the planet before the light from spaceship A.A driver is sentenced in court for crossing an intersection in red light. For his defense, the driver claims that due to the relativistic Doppler effect he saw the traffic light as green color. Color of light depends on the light wavelength (wavelength of a wave is equal to the speed of the wave times the period). The wavelength of red light is 700 nm and the wavelength of green light is 500 nm. How fast the driver should have travelled to see red color as green color? Give answer in units of speed of light. 0.32 X

What is the length of the ladder as seen by an observer on Earth?A spaceship carrying a light clock moves at a speed of 0.6c relative to an observer on Earth. If the clock on the ship advances by 1.00 s as measured by the space travelers aboard the ship, how long did that advance take as measured by the observer on Earth?

- An electron travels at a speed of 0.600c. a) What is its kinetic energy? b) What is its total energy?As observed on earth, a certain type of bacteria is known to double in number every 24 hours. 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 0.727c 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?2. A ladder 5.50 m long leans against a wall inside a spaceship. From the point of view of a person on the ship, the top of the ladder is 4.61 m above the floor. The spaceship moves past the Earth with a speed of 0.80c in a direction parallel to the floor of the ship. What is the length of the ladder as seen by an observer on Earth?
