An astronaut is traveling in a space vehicle moving at 0.490c relative to the Earth. The astronaut measures her pulse rate at 66

marta [7]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to use the reciprocal Lorenz factor of the special theory of relativity with the pulse rate.

$\Xi = Pulse_{astronaut} * \alpha$

Where,

$\Xi =$ Pulse rate measured by earth observed

$\alpha =$ Reciprocal Lorenz Factor

$\alpha = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

Here v is the velocity and c the light speed.

PART A) For the given values we can replace it at the previous equation,

$\Xi = Pulse_{astronaut} *\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\Xi = 66beats/min * \sqrt{1-\frac{(0.49c)^2}{c^2}}$

$\Xi = 57.5beats/min$

PART B ) If the speed of vehicle is 0.94c:

$\Xi = Pulse_{astronaut} *\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$\Xi = 66beats/min * \sqrt{1-\frac{(0.94c)^2}{c^2}}$

$\Xi = 22.5beats/min$

A projectile fired from a gun has initial horizontal and vertical components of velocity equal to 60 m/s and 80 m/s, respectivel

DerKrebs [107]

This question involves the concepts of projectile motion and launch speed.

(a) The initial launch speed of the projectile is "100 m/s".

(b) The launch angle of the projectile is "53.13°".

<h3>(a) LAUNCH SPEED</h3>

A projectile motion is a motion that takes place on both x and y axes, simultaneously. In this motion the initial launch speed is given by the following formula:

$v_o=\sqrt{v_{ox}^2+v_{oy}^2}$
