- Roughly how many times longer than the mean life of an extremely unstable atomic nucleus is the lifetime of a human?arrow_forwardThere is a galactic, royal wedding in El Candrea. Maria Isabela, the princess of andalusia prima maxima, is riding a diamond-studded, pink spacetime motorcycle whose maximum speed is 5x10^2 km/s. The religious princess started her speed at about 5x10^1 km/s and she is to supposed to travel 1.78 x 10^4 km at a straight distance in about 60 seconds to reach the wedding before the galactic church closes. The princess accelerated until her max speed was reached. She then maintains the aforementioned speed till she reached the wedding gates. To reach the church before it closes, what should be her minimum constant acceleration? a. 8.30 km/s^2, b. 7.50 km/s^2, c. 5.29 km/s^2, or d. 6.95 km/s^2arrow_forwardThe special theory of relativity has what effect on measurements done today? (a) None whatsoever, because any correction would be negligible. (b) We need to consider the effects of relativity when objects move close to the speed of light. (c) We should always make a correction for relativity because Newton’s laws are basically wrong. (d) It doesn’t matter, because we can’t make measurements where relativity would matter.arrow_forward
- The speed of light is about 3 x 108 meters per second. The Millennium Falcon is traveling from Earth to Mars at the speed of light. The distance between the Earth and Mars fluctuates between 5.46 x 10¹0 meters and 4,01 x 10¹¹ meters. If the day the Millennium Falcon makes the "Mars Run," the distance is 2.25 x 10¹¹ meters, how long will it take them? Note: distance = rate time, and time = distance/rate Express your answer in scientific notation. Use for the multiplication. seconds Convert your answer to minutes. Include at least 3 decimal places in your answer, which can be expressed in standard notation. minutes Suppose the Millennium Falcon flies for 5 hours at the speed of light. How far will they travel? Express your answer in scientific notation. metersarrow_forwardIn general relativity, gravity changes time. Gravitational potential = - G M / R. Time change r = At/t = A/c². A satellite (e.g., GPS) orbits 21 km above Earth surface, and gravity at the satellites are a little different from Earth surface. The distance error is Ad = c At. Ad is km in one day Please do not copy and paste. Thank you!arrow_forwardPhysics help with the question 1. are the twins still the exact same age? If not which one is the older and by how much ?arrow_forward
- Can you answer question 2 part b?arrow_forwardI asked this question but the answer I got is not an actual answer. I asked if the speed of light is 300000 km/s , how far can light travel in 90 minutes?arrow_forwardThe distance around the Earth's equator is 40,077 kilometers, and the population of the United States in 1,950 was approximately 150,000,000 people. If this many people were spaced equally around the equator, what would be the length of the space each person would have to the nearest centimeter? The approximate length the space would be cm.arrow_forward
- A particle has a mass of 1.6E-27kg and a momentum of 2.2E-18 kg.m/s. What is the speed of the particle? Express your answer in units of c, the speed of light. Keep four significant digits.arrow_forwardIn the context of relativity, what is an "event"? Give a specific example of an event and provide the coordinates necessary to specify the event.arrow_forwardProvide the correct answer in second. Previously got so many wrong answers. A muon has an average life time t_0 = 2.2μs from Earth's frame of referance. Needed distance for them to be found on earth surface is 6Km . What is the average life time of muon from it's own frame of referance if they are travelling with an speed of 2.978×108 m/s ?arrow_forward
