Answer:

v = 0.89 c = 2.67 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

The time dilation consequence of the special theory of relativity shall be used here, From time dilation formula we have:

t = t₀/√[1 - v²/c²]

where,

t = time measured by the person on earth = 2.50 s

t₀ = rest time of the intergalactic rock star = 1.30 s

v = relative speed of the rock star = ?

Therefore,

2.5 s = (1.3 s)/√[1 - v²/c²]

√[1 - v²/c²] = 1.3/2.5

√[1 - v²/c²] = 0.52

[1 - v²/c²] = 0.52²

[1 - v²/c²] = 0.2074

v²/c² = 1 - 0.2074

v²/c² = 0.7926

v/c = √0.7926

v = 0.89 c

where,

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

v = (0.89)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)

<u>v = 0.89 c = 2.67 x 10⁸ m/s</u>

Example sentence for gravitational potential energy
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

An object falling loses gravitational potential energy and gains kinetic energy. The gravity potential is the gravitational potential energy per unit mass. This energy comes from the gravitational potential energy released when the water falls. ... At 0, all the energy is in gravitational potential energy.
