An Earth satellite used in the Global Positioning System moves in a circular orbit with period 11 h 58 min. (a) Determine the radius of its orbit. (b) Determine its speed. (c) The satellite contains an oscillator producing the principal nonmilitary GPS signal. Its frequency is 1 575.42 MHz in the reference frame of the satellite. When it is received on the Earths surface, what is the fractional change in this frequency due to time dilation, as described by special relativity? (d) The gravitational blueshift of the frequency according to general relativity is a separate effect. The magnitude of that fractional change is given by ff=Ugmc2 where Ug/m is the change in gravitational potential energy per unit mass between the two points at which the signal is observed. Calculate this fractional change in frequency. (e) What is the overall fractional change in frequency? Superposed on both of these relativistic effects is a Doppler shift that is generally much larger. It can be a redshift or a blueshift, depending on the motion of a particular satellite relative to a GPS receiver (Fig. P1.39).
As you zip through space in your PPS (personal propulsion suit), your pulse rate as you count it is 121 bpm (beats per minute). This high pulse rate serves as objective evidence of your excitement. However, an observer on the Moon, an expert in pulse rate telemetry, measures your pulse rate as slower. In fact, she detects only 0.561 times the rate you count and claims that you must be pretty calm in spite of everything that is going on. How fast are you moving with respect to the Moon?
Earth astronomers measure that two novas (sudden brightening of a star) occur simultaneously, one in the constellation Orion and the other in the constellation Lyra. Each is 2.5×103c·y from Earth, but in opposite directions. Observers in aspacecraft flying at 1000 km/h on a line from Orion to Lyra measure one nova to occurbefore the other. (a) Which nova occurs first? (b) How much time separates the twonovas? Assume Earth is an inertial reference frame.
A light plane must reach a speed of 35 m/s for takeoff. How long a runaway is needed if the constant accerleration is 3.0m/s (squared)?
. Many galaxies have supermassive black holes at their centers. As material swirls around such a black hole, it is heated, becomes ionized, and generates strong magnetic fields. The resulting magnetic forces steer some of the material into high-speed jets that blast out of the galaxy and into intergalactic space. The light we observe from the jet in Fig. has a frequency of 6.66x10^14 Hz (in the far ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum), but in the reference frame of the jet material, the light has a frequency of 5.55x10^13 Hz (in the infrared). What is the speed of the jet material with respect to us?
What is the speed of a supersonic plane like the Concorde that could fly at Mach 2 with an average air temperature of -10 ° C?
You encounter a moving walkway that is 75 mm long and has a speed of 1.9 m/sm/s relative to the ground.How long would it take you to cover the 75 mm length of the walkway if, once you get on the walkway, you turn around and start walking in the opposite direction with a speed of 1.4m/s relative to the walkway?
Bianca is standing at x = 600 m. Firecracker 1, at the origin, and firecracker 2, at x = 900 m, explode simultaneously. The flash from firecracker 1 reaches Bianca’s eye at t =3.0 μs. At what time does she see the flash from firecracker 2?
Quite apart from effects due to Earth’s rotational and orbital motions, a laboratory reference frame is not strictly an inertial frame because a particle at rest there will not, in general, remain at rest; it will fall. Often, however, events happen so quickly that we can ignore the gravitational acceleration and treat the frame as inertial. Consider, for example, an electron of speed v =0.992c, projected horizontally into a laboratory test chamber and moving through a distance of 20 cm. (a) How long would that take, and (b) how far would the electron fall during this interval? (c) What can you conclude about the suitability of the laboratory as an inertial frame in this case?

A group of Loyola students decided to depart from Earth after graduation to find work on Mars. Before building a shuttle, they conducted careful calculations. A model for the velocity of the shuttle, from liftoff at t = 0 s until the solid rocket boosters were jettisoned at t = 84.8 s, is given by ?(?)=0.001111333?^3−0.085745?^2+30.69?+9.71 (in feet per second). Using this model, estimate the global maximum value =?and global minimum value =?
