A spacecraft flies away from the earth with a speed of 4.80 × 10 6 m/s relative to the earth and then returns at the same speed. The spacecraft carries an atomic clock that has been carefully synchronized with an identical clock that remains at test on earth. The spacecraft returns to its starting point 365 days (1 year) later, as measured by the clock that remained on earth. What is the difference in the elapsed times on the two clocks, measured in hours? Which clock, the one in the spacecraft or the one on earth, shows the shorter elapsed time?

A proton is projected in the positive x direction into a region of uniform electric field E = (-5.50 x 105) i N/C at t = 0. The
proton travels 7.20 cm as it comes to rest.
(a) Determine the acceleration of the proton.
magnitude 5.27e13
direction -X
m/s²
(b) Determine the initial speed of the proton.
8.71e-6
magnitude The electric field is constant, so the force is constant, which means the acceleration will be constant.

direction +X
(c) Determine the time interval over which the proton comes to rest.

In the Donkey Kong Country video games you often get around by shooting yourself out of barrel cannons. Donkey Kong wants to launch out of one barrel and land in a different one that is a distance in x of 9.28 m away. To do so he launches himself at a velocity of 22.6 m/s at an angle of 30.0°. At what height does the 2nd barrel need to be for Donkey Kong to land in it? (measure from the height of barrel 1, aka y0=0)
