Imagine an observer in empty space who determines the position of a star S. If his rocket starts accelerating upwards (see the figure), what would be the new observed position of the star? (Tip: the simulation in the previous physics primer will help)

Use Wien's Law to calculate the peak wavelength of light coming from the Sun. Assume T=5800 K for the surface temperature of the Sun. Wein's displacement law says that the blackbody temperature and peak wavelength multiplied together give a constant of 0.29 cm-K. (K is degrees Kelvin). Convert the wavelength from part A into a frequency. The product of wavelength and frequency for electromagnetic radiation is a constant, the speed of light (c), 3 x 10^10 cm/s.
