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.

A meteor melts when it enters the Earth’s atmosphere. Assuming that the meteor is primarily made of iron and that its initial temperature was −125°C outside of Earth’s atmosphere, calculate the minimum speed it must have had before it entered Earth’s atmosphere. (The specific heat, the melting point, and the latent heat of fusion for iron are 450 J/kg.°C, 1808°C, and 2.89 x 10^5 J/kg , respectively.)

On Dec 5, 2022, scientific history was made at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in Livermore, California when nuclear fusion was achieved when the 192 lasers deposited about 2 Megajoules (MJ) of energy into a frozen pea sized deuterium-tritium pellet and ignited the pellet through nuclear fusion to release 3 MJ of energy. The metric prefix mega means million (10^6). a) How much mass (kg) would be required to release 1 MJ of energy?
If the escape velocity is the minimum speed needed to leave an objects gravity, then briefly discuss what it would mean for an object's escape velocity to be greater than the speed of light.
The energy yield of a nuclear weapon is often defined in terms of the equivalent mass of a conventional explosive. 1 ton of a conventional explosive releases 4.2 GJ. A typical nuclear warhead releases 250,000 times more, so the yield is expressed as 250 kilotons. That is a staggering explosion, but the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs was significantly greater. Assume that the asteroid was a sphere 10 km in diameter, with a density of 2500 kg/m3 and moving at 30 km/s. What energy was released at impact, in joules and in kilotons?
Energy and Mass: If a typical city consumes electrical energy at a rate of 2.0 GW (that's 2 billion joules per second), how many kilograms of matter would have to be converted entirely into electrical energy in order to keep this city running for 14 weeks? (c = 3.0 × 108 m/s)
consider three students whose total mass is 246kg. If all this mass were converted into electrical energy, for how many years could they keep a 100 Watt lightbulb burning?
