Proper Length

The theory of special relativity explains the connection between space and time to objects that move in a straight line at a constant speed. The objects move at the speed of light. When an object approaches light speed, its mass is endless and cannot move faster than light. The most crucial postulate of Einstein's special relativity is that the laws of nature do not change in each frame of reference.

The Moon's mass is 7.35 1022 kg, and it moves in a nearly circular orbit with radius 3.84 108 m. The period of its motion is 27.3 days. Use this, information to determine the Moon's (a) orbital speed and (b) its acceleration.
As their booster rockets separate, Space Shuttle astronauts typically feel accelerations up to 3g, where g = 9.80 m/s2. In their training, astronauts ride in a device where they experience such an acceleration as a centripetal acceleration. Specifically, the astronaut is fastened securely at the end of a mechanical arm, which then turns at constant speed in a horizontal circle. Determine the rotation rate, in revolutions per second, required to give an astronaut a centripetal acceleration of 3.00g while in circular motion with radius 9.45 m.
Which of the following is impossible for a car moving in a circular path? Assume that the car is never at rest. (a) The car has tangential acceleration but no centripetal acceleration. (b) The car has centripetal acceleration but no tangential acceleration. (c) The car has both centripetal acceleration and tangential acceleration.
The Vomit Comet. In microgravity astronaut training and equipment testing, NASA flies a KC135A aircraft along a parabolic flight path.
