Travel to the stars requires hundreds or thousands of years, even at the speed oflight. Some people have suggested that we can get around this difficulty byaccelerating the rocket (and its astronauts) to very high speeds so that they will ageless due to time dilation. The fly in this ointment is that it takes a great deal ofenergy to do this. Suppose you want to go to the immense red giant Betelgeuse,which is about 500 light-years avway. You plan to travel at constant speed in a1000 kg rocket ship (a little over a ton), which, in reality, is far too small for thispurpose.Part EIf the rocket ship's speed is 0.990c, calculate the time for the trip, as measured by people on earth.Express your answer in years.Πνα ΑΣφtEarth =yrSubmitRequest AnswerPart FIf the rocket ship's speed is 0.990c, calculate the time for the trip, as measured by astronauts in the rocket ship.Express your answer in years.Πνα ΑΣφtRocket=yrSubmitRequest AnswerPart GIf the rocket ship's speed is 0.990c, calculate the energy needed in joules.Express your answer in joules.E =JSubmitRequest Answer

One of our closest stars is our Sun, duh. If the distance from Earth to our Sun is 1.56e-05 light-years, how quickly is that star travelling away from us? [Note that Hubble's Constant is roughly 70 km/s/Mpc and 1 light-year is roughly 3.07E-7 Mpc.] m/s
I understand that to an outside observer, the light from a star that is collapsing into a black hole will become more and more red-shifted as the surface of the star appears to approach the black hole event horizon. The outside observer will never actually see the surface of the star cross the black hole event horizon. This applies to all outside observers: at infinity, in orbit around the star/black hole or those using a rocket to hover above the black hole. Conversely, I know that for someone on the surface of the star that is collapsing to form a black hole it will appear quite different. The observer on the surface will not see anything unusual happen as they cross the event horizon and in a finite time they will reach the singularity at the center of the black hole where we do not know what will happen since general relativity breaks down in a singularity. So, now consider an observer that starts at a great distance from the star who is continually falling directly into the star…
The redshift due to the Doppler effect is caused by sources of light obscured by interstellar dust. sources of light moving away from the Solar System. an effect not yet believed to be understood. sources of light moving at right angles to the Solar System. sources of light moving toward the Solar System.
According to the standard Big Bang theory (neglecting any effects of cosmic acceleration), what is the maximum possible age of the universe if H0 = 50 km/s/Mpc? 70 km/s/Mpc? 80 km/s/Mpc?
If the Sun was shrunk to fit the same mass into a smaller volume what would happen to the curvature of spacetime near the surface of the Sun? Spacetime curvature wouldn't change as the mass hasn't changed. Spacetime curvature would stay the same (which we would feel as the same gravity at the surface) Spacetime curvature would increase (which we would feel as an increase in gravity near the surface) Spacetime curvature would decrease (which we would feel as a decrease in gravity near the surface)
In 1999, scientists discovered a new class of black holes with masses 100 to 10,000 times the mass of our sun that occupy less space than our moon. Suppose that one of these black holes has a mass of 1x10^3 suns and a radius equal to one-half the radius of our moon. What is the density of the black hole in g/cm^3? The radius of our sun is 7.0x10^5 km, and it has an average density of 1.4x10^3 kg/m^3. The diameter of the moon is 2.16x10^3 miles.
