Textbook Question
Chapter 29, Problem 20PCE
Captain Jean Luc is piloting the USS Enterprise XXIII at a constant speed u = 0.825c. As the Enterprise passes the planet Vulcan, he notices that his watch and the Vulcan clocks both read 1 00 P.M. At 3:00 P.M. according to his watch, the Enterprise passes the planet Endor. If the Vulcan and Endor clocks are synchronized with each other, what time do the Endor clocks read when the Enterprise passes by?

- No Chatgpt please will upvote harrow_forwardHelicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a helically-shaped bacterium that is usually found in the stomach. It burrows through the gastric mucous lining to establish an infection in the stomach's epithelial cells (see photo). Approximately 90% of the people infected with H. pylori will never experience symptoms. Others may develop peptic ulcers and show symptoms of chronic gastritis. The method of motility of H. pylori is a prokaryotic flagellum attached to the back of the bacterium that rigidly rotates like a propeller on a ship. The flagellum is composed of proteins and is approximately 40.0 nm in diameter and can reach rotation speeds as high as 1.50 x 103 rpm. If the speed of the bacterium is 10.0 μm/s, how far has it moved in the time it takes the flagellum to rotate through an angular displacement of 5.00 * 10² rad?
