Suppose you are an astronaut being paid according to the time you spend traveling in space. You take a long voyage traveling a speed near that of light. Upon return to Earth, you're asked how you would like to be paid: according to the time elapsed on a clock on Earth or according to your ship's clock. Which should you choose to maximize your paycheck? Please explain why!

the spacecraft traveling at 0.99c continues on to space station positioned 1.5x10^9km from earth(according to earth measurements). how many hours, as measured on earth and as measured on the spaceship of food and air would the astronauts in the spacecraft need if the continue at a speed of 0.99c need to get there? 1. how far would the astronauts on the moving space ship think the distance from earth to the space station was? 2.suppose a light beam from earth...

1.You are driving slowly on the highway at 50 mph when a police car with its lights flashing passes you going 100 mph. Relative to you, the police officer is moving 50 mph. Far in the future, when humans have mastered space travel, an astronaut is moving in a spaceship at half the speed of light, v = c/2, relative to earth, when a light beam sent from earth moving parallel to the spaceship passes it moving at v =...

Many communication satellites are placed in a circular orbit around the Earth at a radius where the period (the time to go around the Earth once) is 24 hours. If the satellite is above some point on the equator, it stays above that point as the Earth rotates, so that as viewed from the rotating Earth the satellite appears to be motionless. That is why you see dish antennas pointing at a "fixed" point in space. (a) Calculate the radius...

Please show all steps. DATA CENTER REDESIGN You are a data center manager and have been asked by your boss to redesign a telecommunications room in one of your smaller facilities. One element of this redesign you would like to optimize is the rack structure – your goal is to provide the greatest amount of equipment storage (by weight) within the cost constraints of the project. There are two types of storage racks you can choose from. Rack A costs...

2. (1) A pendulum clock makes use of the fact that the period of a pendulum is consistent and can be predicted relatively easy. What should the length of a pendulum be if the desired frequency of oscillation is. 3. (1) Near the shore, Tsunamis travel at a speed of 30 mph and the distance between crests is about 6.5 miles. What is the frequency of such a wave? Give your answer in units of Hz. When one crest hits...

I. Darth Vader's parking problem (Part I): Darth Vader "drives" his Star Destroyer of length = 2,200 m home. He tries to park the spaceship in his newly-build garage, which is at rest. The contractor who build the garage messed up the blueprints and made the garage only 2,000 m long (the poor guy must not have known who he was working for). Darth Vader apporaches the garage at very high speed (close to the speed of light). From the...
