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.

In baseball, after a pitcher has released the ball, it will accelerate downward due to gravity. To compensate for this downward motion, the pitcher stands on a mound that is raised relative to the rest of the field. If you were to play baseball on the Moon, would you still need a mound? If so, how would its height compare to a mound on Earth?

A ball roles off a table as shown in the figure below with a horizontal velocity vx=7.9 m/s. If the height of the table y=1.5 m, determine the magnitude of the total velocity when the ball hits the ground. Hint: Calculate the vx and vy then use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Repeat the estimate of the moon's acceleration in Question 13 using the equation for the centripetal acceleration. Again, assume the moon Is moving at about 1000 m/s in its orbit. Compare your answer with the one you obtained in question 13. Question 13: the acceleration = 1/600 m/s^2
True or False (Explain if False) 1. NASA astronauts, Kjell Lindgren, Pilot Bob Hines, Jessica Watkins, and Samantha Cristoforetti, are currently in the International Space Station, and experience apparent weightlessness because they and the station are always in free fall towards the center of the Earth. 2. One of the 82 moons of Saturn is named Dione. The pull of Dione on Saturn is lesser than that of Saturn on Dione. 3. Titan, one of Saturn's moons, does not crash into the surface of Saturn because it is beyond the main pull of the planet’s gravity. 4. Patrick pushes a heavy refrigerator down the Barrens at a constant velocity. Of the four forces (friction, gravity, normal force, and pushing force) acting on the bicycle, the greatest amount of work is exerted by his pushing force. 5. Tethys, one of Saturn's moons, is in a constant free fall towards Saturn.
