With respect to the earth, object A is moving at speed 0.73c to the right. Object B is moving to the left at speed 0.24c with respect to object A. What is the velocity of object B with respect to the earth? (expressed as a fraction of c) Take a look correct answer and show all work
Two atomic clocks are synchronized. One is placed on a satellite, which orbits around the earth at high speed for a whole year. The other is placed in a lab and remains at rest, with respect to the earth. You may assume that both clocks can measure time accurately to many significant digits. a. Will the two clocks still be synchronized after one year? Explain your reasoning. b. Imagine that the speed of light was much slower than its actual value. How would the results of this experiment change if the speed of light was only twice the average speed of the satellite? Explain your reasoning, using a calculation.
A light source G is moving, with respect to an observer O, at an angle 0 =117° between the direction of relative motion and the line of sight from O to G. The redshift of the light emitted by G and measured by O is z = 0. Find the speed of G with respect to O in units of c, the speed of light. Enter your answer to 3 decimal places. direction of relative motion G line of sight
Earth's neighboring galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, is a distance of 2.54 × 107 light-years from Earth. If the lifetime of a human is taken to be 85.0 years, a spaceship would need to achieve some minimum speed Umin to deliver a living human being to this galaxy. How close to the speed of light would this minimum speed be? Express your answer as the difference between Umin and the speed of light c. C- Umin = m/s
Astronomer David observes that a distant quasar is receding from the Earth at a speed of 0.80c. He also observes a not-as-distant galaxy to be receding from the Earth at a speed of 0.20c. How fast is the quasar receding in the frame of the galaxy? Express your answer as a fraction of c = 2.998 x 10^4 m/s. PLEASE draw out situation/diagram. answer should be 0.71 c
Your friend and you fly in identically constructed spacecrafts. She overtakes you at a constant speed. She tells you that her craft is 24 m-long and your craft is 12 m long. a) How fast is your friend traveling relative to you? b) How long does it take your friend’s craft to pass you? c) What is the speed of the light coming from the headlights of your fiend’s craft as measured by you? Show the calculation or give the reason for your answer.
A star is 80 light years from Earth. How fast does a spacecraft have to be for the journey to last the 70 years of an astronaut's life? Express the answer in c. Use the necessary equations and show complete approach.
PART A Let's say this train moves with the speed of the fastest train in the word, 190 m/s and the light travels distance 240 100 m (for the observed on the train). = What is the proper time interval (as in, how long did it actually take for the person on the platform?) PART B Let's say this train moves with the 0.19c and the light travels distance 100 m (for the observed on the train). 2Lo = How much longer would it take according to the stationary observed on the platform?
Which of the following statements are IMPOSSIBLE? Choose all that apply. The rocket's speed was measured to be 0.29c. MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACH The rocket's rest length is 228 m. An observer flying by measured the rocket to be 21 m long. A rocket flying by the Sun at 0.72c measured the speed of the photons (particles of light) emitted by the Sun to be c. An inertial reference frame had an acceleration of 9.8 m/s². The proper time interval between two events was measured to be 294 s. The time interval between the same two events (as measured by an observer not in the proper frame) was 198 s.

It is year 2080 and we have figure out a propulsion system that allows spaceships travel at velocities as high as v = 0.75c. A first expedition to Alpha Centauri (the nearest planetary system) is being planned. Alpha Centauri is 4.3 ly away. Answer the following 5 questions below asking you about the details of this expedition. Question 10 Assuming a constant velocity of v=0.75c, how long would the trip to Alpha Centauri take as observed by the ground control team here on Earth? Give your answer in years
