1. According to Jules Verne, the Nautilus traveled 20000 leagues under the sea. If it
took 1082 days to do this, then what was the submarine's average speed in meters
per hour? (1 league = 5556 meters)
A woman rides on a Ferris wheel of radius 16m16m that maintains the same speed throughout its motion. To better understand physics, she takes along a digital bathroom scale (with memory) and sits on it. When she gets off the ride, she uploads the scale readings to a computer and creates a graph of scale reading versus time. (Figure 1) Note that the graph has a minimum value of 510N510N and a maximum value of 666N666N. The acceleration due to gravity, g=9.80m/s2g=9.80m/s2.
What's the woman's mass?
1. For centuries, we accpeted Newton's 2nd Law as the standard model for motion. Then Einstien came along and siggested a modification in cases of high velocity. The Lorenz factor:
γ(v)=(1/square-root of 1−(v^2/c^2))
a) The constant (c) is the speed of light, which is 3 * 10^8 m/s. What is the lim as v approaches 400 γ(v)? You will have to track many decimal places to see a difference from 1. A bullet travels 400 m/s; this limit indicates that time dilation is extremely small (and basically negigible) at that speed.
b) In the movie Interstellar, time dialation occurs as 1 hour on the water planet corresponds to 7 years on earth. What is the factor γ in this case (what is the ratio of 7 years to 1 hour)?
c) If we rearrange the equation for γ and solve for v, we get:
v = c square-root of (γ^2 - 1/γ^2)
What velocity v is necesary to get the γ you found in part (b)?
d) What is the lim as v approaches c γ(v) ?…

- 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.arrow_forwardA car traveling 60 km/hkm/h slows down at a constant 0.50 m/s2m/s2 just by "letting up on the gas."
