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.

If we send astronauts to Mars, there will be a time delay anytime we send or receive messages to them here on Earth. Given that Mars is an average of 54.6 million km away from Earth, how long is this time delay for a 2-way 'round-trip' communication - sent to Earth, then back to Mars? (this might be important in emergency situations) answer choices a)About 4 minutes. b)About 30 seconds. c)About 10 seconds. d)About 6 minutes.

A 1.00-m2 solar panel on a satellite that keeps the panel oriented perpendicular to radiation arriving from the Sun absorbs 1.40 kJ of energy every second. The satellite is located at 1.00 AU from the Sun. (The Earth-Sun distance is approximately 1.00 AU.) How long would it take an identical panel that is also oriented perpendicular to the incoming radiation to absorb the same amount of energy, if it were on an interplanetary exploration vehicle 2.05 AU from the Sun? answer in seconds
1- MODIS is an Earth Observation sensor onboard TERRA spacecraft flying in a near-polar circular orbit with an orbital period of 98.8 minutes. The width of the swath imaged by MODIS is 2330 km. A- How many orbits does TERRA trace in one day? B- Assuming that the Earth rotates around its polar axis at a rate of 0.2618 rd/hr and that the equatorial radius is 6378 km, do two consecutive swaths of MODIS overlap at the equator? (hint: the length of an arc = angle in rd * radius) C- The radius of the latitude circle at 35 deg is 5224.5 km. Do two consecutive swaths of MODIS overlap at latitude 35 deg? 2- An aerostationary orbit for Mars is equivalent to a geostationary orbit for Earth. It is designed to enable a satellite in that orbit to image always the same surface of Mars.
