Light travels at a speed of about 3 103 m/s. (a) How many miles down a pulse of light travel in a time interval of 0.1 s, which is about the blink of an eye? (b) Compare this distance to the diameter of Earth.
A neutron lives 900 s when at rest relative to an observer. How fast is the neutron moving relative to an observer who measures its life span to be 2065 s?
How could you travel far into the future without aging significantly? Could this method also allow you to travel into the past?
A 36,000-kg spaceship is to travel to the vicinity of a star6.6 light-years from Earth. Passengers on the ship want the(one-way) trip to take no more than 1.0 year. How muchwork must be done on the spaceship to bring it to thespeed necessary for this trip?
11. A star is 40.0 light-years from Earth (1 light-year is the distance that light travels in 1 year). (a) How far would you measure this distance to be if you traveled it in a spaceship moving at 1.00 x 108 m/s? (b) How long would the trip last (for you)?
The formula for length contraction gives the length of an interval on a ruler_moving with velocity v relative to an observer as times the length of the same interval on a ruler at rest with respect to the observer. By what fraction is the length of a meter stick reduced if its velocity relative to you is measured to be 95 percent the speed of light?

(a) Wliat is the approximate velocity relative to us of a galaxy near the edge of the known universe, some 10 Gly away? (b) What fraction of the speed of light is this? Note that we have observed galaxies moving away from us at greater than 0.9c.
(Indicates a review question, which means it requires only a basic understanding of the material to answer. Questions without this designation typically involve integrating or extending the concepts presented thus far.) 19. Consider Figure 9.82 below. At which of the lettered positions would an observer be able to see the image of the dot in the mirror?
(a) Use the distance and velocity data in Figure 3.64 to find the rate of expansion as a function of distance. (b) If you extrapolate back in time, how long ago would all of the galaxies have been at approximately the same position? The two parts of this problem give you some idea of how the Hubble constant for universal expansion and the time back to the Big Bang are determined, respectively. Figure 3.64 Five galaxies on a straight line, showing their distances and velocities relative to the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. The distances are in millions of light years (Mly), where a light year is the distance light travels in one year. The velocities are nearly proportional to the distances. The sizes of the galaxies are greatly exaggerated; an average galaxy is about 0.1 MlY across.
(a) How fast would an athlete need to be running for a 100-m race to look 100 yd long? (b) Is the answer consistent with the fact that relativistic effects are difficult to observe in ordinary circumstances? Explain.
