[Vertical] Earth Astronauts land on a strange planet with a breathable atmosphere very much like Earth's. In their exploration, they time how long it takes for a rock to fall 2.3 m. After several trials with fancy equipment, they found an average time for the rock to fall to be 0.88 seconds. Next the astronaut decided to see how high he could jump. He jumped up 1.9 meters. How high can he jump on Earth? (Assume that his initial velocity is the same on both planets.)

A car traveling at 35.0 m/s takes 26.0 minutes to travel a certain distance according to the drivers clock in the car. How long does the trip take according to an observer at rest on Earth? Hint: The following approximation is helpful: [1x]121+12xforx1.
2. What is the speed of horse in meter per second that runs a distance of 1.2 miles in 2.4 minutes?
2. A ship moving North at 10mph. A passenger walks Southeast across the deck at 5mph. In what direction and how fast is the man moving, relative to the earth’s surface?
Suppose you are driving your car on a business trip and are traveling at 30 m/s. Your boss, who is waiting at your destination, expects the trip to take 5.0 h. When you arrive late, your excuse is that the clock in your car registered the passage of 5.0 h but that you were driving fast and so your clock ran more slowly than the clock in your boss’s office. If your car clock actually did indicate a 5.0-h trip, how much time passed on your boss’s clock, which was at rest on the Earth?
3M- Please I want a solution of all sub-part questions in detail by typing them. Thanks
1. As you search for the fell flower, you suddenly see a group of cryo hilichurls approaching towards your direction. If the mob of monsters all ran at a uniform rate of 2.2 meters per squared seconds and reached your location within 18 s, what is the instantaneous velocity of the said hilichurls?
The original “clock” used to define the length of the second was the daily rotation of Earth about its axis. Why has this clock been replaced by one based on the oscillation period of light waves emitted by atoms like cesium and rubidium?
(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.
The North American and European continents are moving apart at a rate of about 3 cm/y. At this rate how long will it take them to drift 500 km farther apart than they are at present?
When the Earth passes a planet such as Mars, the planet appears to move backward for a time, a phenomenon known as retrograde motion. Ancient astronomers believed that the Earth did not move and that the planets moved around the Earth. They also believed that uniform circular motion was perfect and that heavenly objects such as planets exhibited this perfect motion. How do you suppose ancient astronomers accounted for retrograde motion? Include a sketch with your explanation.
You arrange to meet a friend at 5:00 p.m. on Valentine’s Day on the observation deck of the Empire State Building in New York City. You arrive right on time, but your friend is not there. She arrives 5 minutes late and says the reason is that time runs faster at the top of a tall building, so she is on time but you were early. Is your friend right? Does time run slower or faster at the top of a building, as compared with its base? Is this a reasonable excuse for your friend arriving 5 minutes late?
