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.

Two stars of masses M and m, separated by a distance d, revolve in circular orbits about their center of mass (Fig. P11.50). Show that each star has a period given by T2=42d3G(M+m) Proceed as follows: Apply Newtons second law to each star. Note that the center-of-mass condition requires that Mr2 = mr1, where r1 + r2 = d.
The perihelion of Halley’s comet is 0.586 AU and the aphelion is 17.8 AU. Given that its speed at perihelion is 55 km/s, what is the speed at aphelion ( IAU=1.4961011m )? (Hint: You may use either conservation of energy or angular momentum, but the latter is much easier.)

Saturns ring system forms a relatively thin, circular disk in the equatorial plane of the planet. The inner radius of the ring system is approximately 92,000 km from the center of the planet, and the outer edge is about 137,000 km from the center of the planet. The mass of Saturn itself is 5.68 1026 kg. a. What is the period of a particle in the outer edge compared with the period of a particle in the inner edge? b. How long does it take a particle in the inner edge to move once around Saturn? c. While this inner-edge particle is completing one orbit abound Saturn, how far around Saturn does a particle on the outer edge move?
In the slingshot effect, the transfer of energy in an elastic collision is used to power a space probeprobe so that it can escape from the solar system. All velocity values are relative to an inertialinertial reference in which the center of the Sun remains at rest. Fig. 1(b) below shows a space probemoving at 10.4 km/s towards Saturn, which in turn is moving at 9.6 km/s towards the probe. Due todue to the gravitational force between Saturn and the probe, the probe goes around Saturn and moves in the opposite direction with speed vf .velocity vf . (a) Assuming this collision is one-dimensional and elastic, and the mass if Saturn is much greater than that of the probe, determine vfthat of the probe, determine vf . (b) By what factor does the kinetic energy increase? (c) Where does this energy come from?
