Question
Chapter 21, Problem 6CC
To determine
Whether the time measured by radio waves sent from a clock shows more time, less time, or the same time as compared to another clock that is near the planet, when one clock is placed near a massive planet and the other is far away from it. Given that, two identical clocks which are initially far away from strong gravity sources, are synchronized far out in space. After this, one clock is placed near a massive planet and the time measured by the other clock is 1 hour.

In the context of relativity, what is an "event"? Give a specific example of an event and provide the coordinates necessary to specify the event.
When a laser beam is projected onto the Moon from an Earth-based telescope, the spot may travel faster than light over the Moon's surface. Is this a violation of current relativity theory? Rather of traveling over the Moon's surface, light is being delivered from Earth to the Moon.)
An astronaut is flying at a distance of 317kms from the center of a blackhole of mass 2E32 kg.
From the point of view of the astronaut the flight lasts for 18.6 seconds. How long did it last from the point of view of an observer on Earth?
Express your answer in seconds and keep 3 significant digits.

- If you use an Earth based telescope to project a laser beam onto the moon, you can move the spot across the moon's surface at a velocity greater than the speed of light Does this violate modern relativity? (Note that light is being sent from the Earth to the moon, not across the surface of the moon.)arrow_forwardThe meter was redefined as a reference to Earth, then to krypton, and finally to the speed of light. Why do you think the reference point for a meter continued to change?arrow_forwardIf you use an Earth-based telescope to project a laser beam onto the Moon, you can move the spot across the Moon’s surface at a velocity greater than the speed of light.

- What do you understand by time dilation? What is proper time and establish a relation for proper time. A beam of particle of half-life 2×10-8 sec travels in laboratory with speed 0.96 times the speed of light. How much distance does the beam travel before the flux falls to ½ time the initial flux.arrow_forwardWhile on board a starship, you intercept signals from four shuttle craft that are moving either directly toward or directly away from you.The signals have the same proper frequency f0.The speed and direction (both relative to you) of the shuttle craft are (a) 0.3c toward, (b) 0.6c toward, (c) 0.3c away, and (d) 0.6c away. Rank the shuttle craft according to the frequency you receive, greatest first.arrow_forwardImagine two civilizations from different planets that have started an intergalactic war. During a space battle, a missile is shot from spaceship one toward spaceship two. The missile leaves the spaceship one at 0.970c (in spaceship one's reference frame) and approaches spaceship two at 0.749c (in spaceship two's reference frame). What is the relative velocity of the two spaceships in units of c? Hint: keep in mind that the two spaceships are approaching each other. Round your answer to three decimal places.arrow_forward
- How do we establish a standard time interval in physics and the standard unit of time, the second? By the natural frequencies in an atom of the element cesium.

How?arrow_forwardThe most significant validation of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity required the observation of stars that appear near the Sun in the sky. Due to the predicted curvature of space caused by the Sun, what were the stars expected to do when the Sun appeared near them in the sky? Why couldn’t astronomers just go out at any time and take pictures of this effect? So what did they have to wait for? Did astronomers validate Einstein’s prediction?arrow_forward
- Suppose you are planning a trip in which a spacecraft is to travel at a constant velocity for exactly six months, as measured by a clock on board the spacecraft, and then return home at the same speed. Upon return, the people on earth will have advanced exactly 76 years into the future. According to special relativity, how fast must you travel? (Give your answer with six significant digits as a multiple of c.)arrow_forwardWhat is the principal difference between the theory of special relativity and the theory of general relativity?arrow_forwardA star is 80 light years from Earth. How fast does a spacecraft have to be for the journey to last the 70 years of an astronaut's life? The answer is 0,7526c.
