Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

Question

A space ship has a mass of 75,000 kg. What net force is required to accelerate it to 20 m/s²?

Notes: Use 9.8 m/s ²for the acceleration due to gravity. For Newton's Law calculations, mass must be expressed in kg and velocity must be expressed in m/s.

What does the force of gravity depend on? Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
Newton’s law of universal gravitation states that the force of gravity between two bodiesis proportional to the product of the two masses (m1 and m2) and inversely proportionalto the square of their separation (r). For each scenario described below, explain how theforce of gravity would change. Say something like “the force of gravity would double”.(a) The separation between the two bodies is increased by a factor of 10.(b) The separation between the two bodies is decreased by a factor of 10.(c) Both masses are tripled, and the separation is increased by a factor of 3.(d) The separation is increased by a factor of 5.65 and one of the masses isincreased by a factor of 2.55.
