- In a proton linear accelerator, protons are accelerated to have a kinetic energy of 520 Me. What is the speed of these protons? (The rest mass of a proton is 1.67 × 10-27 kg.)Consider the process of escaping from the solar system starting from the surface of Earth. Assume there are no other bodies involved. Earth has an orbital speed about the Sun of 29.8 km/s. Hint: 2GM does not apply. Use mv,? GM_m GM m 2 GM-m GMs" which includes the potential energy of both Earth and the Sun. 2.5 V. esc 2,E (a) What minimum speed relative to Earth (in km/s) would be needed? km/s In what direction should you leave Earth? O opposite the direction of Earth's orbital velocity O towards the Sun O away from the Sun O in the direction of Earth's orbital velocity (b) What will be the shape of the trajectory? O a circle O an ellipse O a hyperbola O a parabolaMichale is decided to buy a ticket to go to space. After meticulously planning his journey, he travels in his vessel at speed 7/10c from Earth to the nearby planet, Alfa-0 , 20 light-years away (as measured in the common rest frame of Earth and Alfa-0). He spends a year (as measured in Earth- Alfa-0 frame) on this foreign planet sharing stories of human history to aliens. Finally, he is ready to head home. His hosts, charmed by his friendliness and the stories of his wonderful home, give him their best space ship for the return voyage. In this new ship, he travels at speed 95/100 c. Let W be Michael's departure from Earth (which we can set as the origin of the reference frame), X his arrival to the Alfa-0, Y his departure from the Alfa-0, and Z his arrival back to Earth. a. Draw the spacetime diagram from the rest frame of the Earth - Alfa-0 system, indicating Michale's worldline, and the events, W, X, Y, Z.
