A spaceship is 1600 m long when it is at rest. When it is traveling at a certain constant speed its length is measured by external observers and it is found to be 565 m. What is the speed of the spaceship in terms of the speed of light? In the kitchen of the spaceship the chef sets the oven timer for 1.80 hours to make roast beef. How much time does the roast beef spend in the oven when...
A spaceship is 1600 m long when it is at rest. When it is traveling at a certain constant speed its length is measured by external observers and it is found to be 505 m. What is the speed of the spaceship in terms of the speed of light? 2.84*10^8 Hints: Objects moving at relativistic speeds shrink in the direction of motion. This is the so called Lorentz contraction. What is the relationship between the speed of the spaceship, its...

How much energy is required to accelerate a spaceship with a rest mass of 110 metric tons to a speed of 0.553 c? Submit Answer Tries 0/12 Every day our Earth receives 1.550x1022 ) energy from the Sun. If we were able to use 1.05 percent of this energy to accelerate spaceships, then how many missions would be possible in one year? Submit Answer Tries 0/12
Practice Problem 27.3 SOLUTION A spaceship flies past earth with a speed of 0.980c (about 2.97 x 10 m/s) relative to earth. A crew member on the spaceship measures its length, obtaining the value 400 m. What is the length measured by observers on earth? SET UP The length of the spaceship in the frame in which it is at rest (400 m) is a proper length in this frame, corresponding to lo in We want to find the length...
How much energy is required to accelerate a spaceship with a rest mass of 133 metric tons to a speed of 0.593 c? 1.485x10 22 J Hints: In the acceleration process the energy we have is converted to the kinetic energy of the spaceship. The classical kinetic energy of an object is half of the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity. What is the relativistic form of the kinetíc energy? Submit Answer Incorrect.

Imagine Punch lives on the Earth at rest. Judy is traveling past the earth with a speed of 0.600 c. If a rocket moving in the same direction passes Judy, Punch sees the speed of the rocket to be 0.930 c. What is the speed of the rocket seen by Judy in terms of the speed of the light? Submit Answer Tries 0/12
