Santa Claus' slelgh starts from rest and accelerates at a = 30+ 20t, until Its velocity is constant at 400 m/s. It then hits an iceberg and the equat ion of the acceleration is a = -0,003v² until the velocity decreased to 100 m/s Compute the time the sleigh reaches v= 400 m/s What is the total distance Santa Claus traveled? Compute the total time of travel

An atomic clock is placed in a jet airplane. The clock measures a time interval of 3600 s when the jet moves with a speed of 400 m/s. How much longer or shorter a time interval does an identical clock held by an observer on the ground measure? (Hint: For , γ ≈ 1 + v2/2c2.)
(a) Use the distance and velocity data in Figure 3.64 to find the rate of expansion as a function of distance. (b) If you extrapolate back in time, how long ago would all of the galaxies have been at approximately the same position? The two parts of this problem give you some idea of how the Hubble constant for universal expansion and the time back to the Big Bang are determined, respectively. Figure 3.64 Five galaxies on a straight line, showing their distances and velocities relative to the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. The distances are in millions of light years (Mly), where a light year is the distance light travels in one year. The velocities are nearly proportional to the distances. The sizes of the galaxies are greatly exaggerated; an average galaxy is about 0.1 MlY across.
