The Hermes spacecraft is traveling at 0.1c(1/10 the speed of light past Mars and shines a laser in front of the ship. You would

see the light traveling at c (the speed of light )away from your ship. According to Einstein's special relativity how fast with a person on Mars observe the light to be traveling?

Answer:

So, according to Einstein's special relativity a person on Mars observe the light to be traveling at c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s.

Explanation:

The special theory of relativity has two main postulates:

1- <u>VALIDITY OF PHYSICAL LAWS</u>

The laws of physics such as Newton's Laws and Maxwell's Equations are valid in all inertial frame of references.

2- <u>CONSTANCY OF SPEED OF LIGHT</u>

The speed of light in vacuum is the same for all observers in uniform translational relative motion, and it is independent of the motion of the source or the observer. Thus, speed of light is a universal constant and its value is c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s.

<u>So, according to Einstein's special relativity a person on Mars observe the light to be traveling at c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s.</u>

You drop a rock from rest from the top of a tall building.1)how far has the rock fallen in 2.60 s?
Bess [88]
Answer:
distance = 33.124 meters

Explanation:
To solve this question, we will use one of the equations of motion which is:
s = ut + 0.5a * t^2
where:
s is the distance that we want to get
u is the initial velocity = 0
a is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/sec^2
t is the time = 2.6 sec

Substitute with the givens in the equation to get the distance as follows:
s = ut + 0.5a * t^2
s = (0)(2.6) + 0.5(9.8)(2.6)^2
s = 33.124 meters

Hope this helps :)

A girl is out jogging at 2.00 m/s and accelerates at 1.50 m/s^2 until she reaches a velocity of 5.00 m/s. How far does she get?
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

7.00 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 2.00 m/s

v = 5.00 m/s

a = 1.50 m/s²

Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(5.00 m/s)² = (2.00 m/s)² + 2(1.50 m/s²)Δx

Δx = 7.00 m
