- A pirate starship in the distant future is being chased by the space police. The pirates are traveling at 1273 km/h while the police are traveling at 1431 km/h. The pirate ship needs 25 minutes to turn on its faster-than-light drive so it can jump into hyperspace to escape. How long, in minutes, will it take the space police to catch up to the pirates if they are 50 km away from one another? min Will the pirates be able to escape?A cylindrical spaceship of length 35.0 m and diameter 8.35 m is traveling in the direction of its cylindrical axis (length).

- The fastest spacecraft ever launched was the Helios probe, which travelled approximately 70,000 m/s as it passed close to the Sun. The speed of light is 3x 10^8 m/s. Suppose the Helios probe passed by a stationary observer on Earth. The observer can see an accurate clock ticking on the side of the Helios Probe.How many seconds on Earth are equivalent to one second on the Helios probe?A car traveling at 35.0 m/s takes 26.0 minutes to travel a certain distance according to the driver’s clock in the car. How long does the trip take according to an observer at rest on Earth? Hint: The following approximation is helpful:The half‑life of a certain subatomic particle at rest is about 1.00×10−8 s. With what speed V is a beam of these particles moving if one‑half of them decay in 4.00×10−8 s as measured in the laboratory? V = ? m/s
- An alarm clock is set to sound in 10.0 = h. Att 0, the clock is placed in a spaceship moving with a speed of 0.736 c (relative to Earth). What distance, as determined by an Earth observer, does the spaceship travel before the alarm clock sounds? (Hint: Keep track of your units!) answer in mTony & Yuki are working at a particle linear accelerator that is 414 meters long. A particle is moving at 0.89 c in the accelerator. What is the length of the particle accelerator in meters according to the particle? Give your answer with no decimal places please.Two 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.
- At t=0, an alien spaceship passes by the earth: let this be event A. At t=13 min (according to synchronized clocks on earth and Mars), the spaceship passes by Mars, which is 5 light-minutes from earth at the time: let this be event B. Radar tracking indicates that the spaceship moves at a constant velocity between earth and Mars. Just after the ship passes earth, people on earth launch a probe whose purpose is to catch up with and investigate the spaceship. This probe accelerates away from earth, moving slowly at first, but moving faster and faster as time passes, eventually catching up with and passing the alien ship just as it passes Mars. In all parts of this problem, you can ignore the effects of gravity and the relative motion of earth and Mars (which are small) and treat earth and Mars as if they were both at rest in the inertial reference frame of the solar system. Also assume that both the probe and the alien spacecraft carry clocks. 1. Draw a quantitatively accurate…Leo and Owen are working at a particle linear accelerator that is 414 meters long.
