Suppose a rocket ship in deep space moves with constant acceleration equal to 9.8 m/s2, which gives the illusion of normal gravi

ty during the flight. (a) If it starts from rest, how long will it take to acquire a speed one-tenth that of light, which travels at 3.0 × 108 m/s? (b) How far will it travel in so doing?

(a).
It starts from rest, and its speed increases by 9.8 m/s every second.
One tenth the speed of light is (1/10) (3 x 10⁸ m/s) = 3 x 10⁷ m/s .
To reach that speed takes (3 x 10⁷ m/s) / (9.8 m/s²) = <u>3,061,224 seconds</u> .
That's about 35 days and 10 hours.

(b).
Distance traveled = (average speed) x (time of travel)
Average speed = (1/2) of (1/10 the speed of light) = 1.5 x 10⁷ m/s .
Time of travel is the answer to part (a) above.
Distance traveled = (1.5 x 10⁷ m/s) x (3,061,224 sec) = <u>4.59 x 10¹³ meters</u>
That's 45.9 billion kilometers.
That's 28.5 billion miles.
That's about 6.2 times the farthest distance that Pluto ever gets from the Sun.

What is newton's second law of motion?
lord [1]

Answer:

Newton's second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Answer:the

8/9 h

Explanation:

Height  =   1/2 a T^2     now change to T/3

 now height = 1/2 a (T/3)^2   =<u> 1/9</u>  1/2 a T^2     <===== it is 1/9 of the way down   or   8/9 h
