Which of the following statements are fundamental postulates of the special theory of relativity? More than one statement may be correct. (a) Light moves through a substance called the ether. (b) The speed of light depends on the inertial reference frame in which it is measured. (c) The laws of physics depend on the inertial reference frame in which they are used. (d) The laws of physics are the same in all inertial reference frames. (e) The speed of light is independent of the inertial reference frame in which it is measured.
An astronaut, of total mass 85.0 kg including her suit, stands on a spherical satellite of mass 375 kg, both at rest relative a nearby space station. She jumps at a speed of 2.56 m/s directly away from the satellite, as measured by an observer in the station. At what speed does that observer measure the satellite traveling in the opposite direction? (See Section 6.2.)
(a) What is the approximate force of gravity on a 70-kg person due to the Andromeda Galaxy, assuming its total mass is 1013 that of our Sun and acts like a single mass 0.613 Mpc away? (b) What is the ratio of this force to the person’s weight? Note that Andromeda is the closest large galaxy.
Professional Application Ion-propulsion rockets have been proposed for use in space. They employ atomic ionization techniques and nuclear energy sources to produce extremely high exhaust velocities, perhaps as great as 8.00106 m/s. These techniques allow a much more favorable payload-to-fuel ratio. To illustrate this fact: (a) Calculate the increase in velocity of a 20,000-kg space probe that expels only 40.0-kg of its mass at the given exhaust velocity. (b) These engines are usually designed to produce a very small thrust for a very long time—the type of engine that might be useful on a trip to the outer planets, for example. Calculate the acceleration of such an engine if it expels 4.50106 kg/s at the given velocity, assuming the acceleration due to gravity is negligible.
Show that the velocity of a star orbiting its galaxy in a circular oibit is inversely proportional to the square root of its orbital radius, assuming the mass of the stars inside its orbit acts like a single mass at the center of the galaxy. You may use an equation from a previous chapter to support your conclusion, but you must justify its use and define all terms used.
(a) What is the momentum of a 2000 kg satellite orbiting at 4.00 km/s? (b) Find the ratio of this momentum to the classical momentum. (Hint: Use the approximation that =1+(1/2)v2/c2 at low velocities.)
(a) Calculate for a proton that has a momentum of 1.00 kgm/s. (b) What is its speed? Such protons form a rare component of cosmic radiation with uncertain origins.
Choose the option that makes the following statement correct. An objects proper length is measured by an observer [(a) who measures the length of the moving object as it passes; (b) who is at rest relative to the object.]
A single-stage rocket of mass 308 metric tons (not including fuel) carries a payload of 3150 kg to low-Earth orbit. The exhaust speed of the rockets cryogenic propellant is 3.20 103 m/s. a. If the speed of the rocket as it enters orbit is 8.00 km/s, what is the mass of propellant used during the rockets burn? b. The rocket is redesigned to boost its exhaust speed by a factor of two. What is the mass of propellant used in the redesigned rocket to carry the same payload to low-Earth orbit? c. Because the exhaust speed of the redesigned rocket is increased by a factor of two, why is the fuel consumption of the redesigned rocket not exactly half that of the original rocket?
2. What is the relationship between the mass of bodies and the accelerations they acquire during the interaction?
4.A large star of 1018 kg and a small star are 105 meters apart and attract with 6.7 N. What is the mass of the small star (in kg)? 5.A car travels at 10 m/s for 20 seconds and then at 20 m/s for 30 seconds. What is the average speed (in meter/second) for the trip? 6.A car initially traveling at 50 m/s slows down at -10 m/s2 for 4 seconds. How far (in meter) does it travel during the 4 seconds? complete questions answers please
