- A clock is placed in a satellite orbits the Earth with a period of 117 minutes. a) By what time interval will this clock differ from an identical clock on Earth after 2 years? b) If the two clocks differ by 2 s, how much time will have passed on Earth? (Assume special relativity applies, and neglect general relativity.)1. You are an observer in a 100-m long spacecraft traveling from the earth to the moon at 0.8c. (a)What is the proper length of the spacecraft? (b) For a proper time interval of 1 sec., the relativistic time interval for the spacecraft measured from the earth reference frame would be: (c)Time dilation does not apply to all time-dependent physical and biological processes. T/F? (c) What is the relativistic length, DL measured from the reference frame of earth? (d) An APOLLO crew left a flat mirror reflector on the surface of the moon (for all you deniers out there, in the 50th anniversary year of APOLLO 11!). If the average surface-to-surface distance from the earth to the moon is 3.83 x 10^8 m, then how long does it take moonlight to reach earth?A spaceship leaves the solar system at v = (3/5)c and is headed towards a planet that is 20 c • years away (c is the speed of light). Assume the following: the Sun and the planet are mutually at rest and their clocks have been synchronized such that both read zero when the spaceship leaves. Say that the clock on the ship began at zero. If this is the case, then what should the clock on the ship read when it arrives at the planet?
- Protons in a University accelerator are accelerated to a kinetic energy of 16 times their rest energy. (a) What is the relativistic factor gamma for these protons? (b) What is the speed of these protons? (express in terms of c, the speed of light) (c) What is their kinetic energy in MeV? (d) What is the rest energy of the protons? (e) What is their momentum in MeV/c?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…
