Suppose an astronaut is moving relative to Earth at a significant fraction of the speed of light. (a) Does he observe the rate of his to have slowed? (b) What change in the rate of earthbound does he see? (c) Does his ship seem to him to shorten? (d) What about the distance between two stars that lie in the direction of his motion? (e) Do he and an earthbound observer agree on his velocity relative to Earth?
What is wrong with the following expressions? How can you correct them? (a) C=AB , (b) C=AB , (c) C=AB , (d) C=AB , (e) C+2A=B , (f) C=AB , (g) AB=AB , (h) C=2AB , (i) C=A/B , and (j) C=A/B .
(a) Using the information in the previous problem, what velocity do you need to escape the Milky Way galaxy from our present position? (b) Would you need to accelerate a spaceship to this speed relative to Earth?
A rod moving with a speed v along the horizontal direction is observed to have length and to make an angle with respect to the horizontal as shown in Figure P38.17. (a) Show that the length of the rod as measured by an observer at rest with respect to the rod is p = [1( v2/c2) cos2 ]1/2. (b) Show that the angle p that the rod makes with the x axis according to an observer at rest with respect to the rod can be found from tan p = tan . These results show that the rod is observed to be both contracted and rotated. (Take the lower end of the rod to be at the origin of the coordinate system in which the rod is at rest.)
1. A student runs to school, covering a distance of 0.50 km in a direction of [N20^0 E] as measured from the starting point. She then trudges over to a friend's house 0.30 km away [W] from the school. The two friends then go off to the mall that is 0.8 km [W50^0S] from the friend's house. *You will need to draw the x and y components of the vectors a. What is the total displacement of the student? b. If the total time taken by the student to run to school then trudge over to the friend's house was 25 minutes, what was her average velocity? *There are many steps to this answer, ensure that you have included ALL steps.

In 2019, SCUBA divers from Mexico explores the Atlantic Ocean (64lb/f) and finds a circular clock thoughtto be theancient remnants of the legendary Atlntis.

TRUE OR FALSE. An object seen by the human eye remains chemically mapped on the eye's retina for a brief time after viewing. This phenomenon is called phi. TRUE OR FALSE. The human mind needs to conceptually complete a perceived action. This phenomenon is called phi. TRUE OR FALSE. Anything less than 12fps will be smooth motion as the eye is able to detect the changes from one frame to the next.
