An interstellar space probe is launched from Earth. After a brief period of acceleration it moves with a constant velocity, 70.0

% of the speed of light. Its nuclear-powered batteries supply the energy to keep its data transmitter active continuously. The batteries have a lifetime of 15.9 years as measured in a rest frame. (a) How long do the batteries on the space probe last as measured by mission control on Earth?
yr
(b) How far is the probe from Earth when its batteries fail, as measured by mission control?
ly
(c) How far is the probe from Earth, as measured by its built-in trip odometer; when its batteries fail?
ly

Answer:

22.26 years

, 15.585 light years  , 11.13 light years

Explanation:

a)

t' = t/(\sqrt{1-(v/(c*v)/c)}

= 15.9/\sqrt{(1-0.7*0.7)}

= 22.26 years

b)

0.7*c*22.26 years

=15.585 light years  

c)

0.7*c*15.9

=11.13 light years

Which of Newton's laws of motion describes the motion of an object that has a net<br> force of ON?
algol [13]

Newton's first and second laws of motion both do, but I think the one you're looking for is: <em>The First Law of Motion</em>.  That description is a little more direct.

It says that if an object is not acted on by a net external force, then it continues in "constant, uniform motion".

Two identical cars, one on the moon and one on the earth, have the same speed and are rounding banked turns that have the same r
Naily [24]

Answer:

The value of the centripetal forces are same.

Explanation:

Given:

The masses of the cars are same. The radii of the banked paths are same. The weight of an object on the moon is about one sixth of its weight on earth.

The expression for centripetal force is given by,

F_{c} = \dfrac{mv^{2}}{r}

where, m is the mass of the object, v is the velocity of the object and r is the radius of the path.

The value of the centripetal force depends on the mass of the object, not on its weight.

As both on moon and earth the velocity of the cars and the radii of the paths are same, so the centripetal forces are the same.
