Textbook Question
Chapter S3, Problem 16EAP
Does It Make Sense?
Decide whether the statement makes sense (or is dearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly; not all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than year chosen answer.
16. The equivalence principle tells us that experiments performed on a spaceship accelerating through space at 1g will give the same results as experiments performed on Earth.

- Cruise Ship Enery. Suppose we have a spaceship about the size of a typical ocean cruise ship today, which means it has a mass of about l00 million kilograms, and we want to accelerate the ship to a speed of 10% of the speed of light. a. How Inuch energy would be required? (Hint; You can find the answer simply by calculating the kinetic energy of the ship when it reaches its cruising speed; because 10% of the speed of light is still small compared to the speed of light, you can use thsi formula kinetic energy = 1/2 x m x v2) b. How does your answer coInpare to total world energy use 5 x 1022 Joules? c. The typical cost of energy today is roughly 5¢ per 1 million joules.
