Do find the percentage you:
5.43/15.6=0.34

Time by 100:
34%

Closest answer is 35%

Hope this helps ;)

Imagine you are riding on a yacht in the ocean and traveling at 20 mph. You then hit a golf ball at 100 mph from the deck of the

Before solving this question, first we have to understand the special theory of relative.

As per classical mechanics, the velocity of light will be different in different frame of reference. The light moves in the ether medium which exists every where in the entire universe.

Let us consider a body which moves with a velocity v. Let light is coming along the direction of the body. As per classical mechanics,the velocity of light with respect to the body will be [ c-v].

Let us consider that light is coming from opposite direction. Hence, the velocity of light with respect to the observer will be c+v.

From above we see that velocity of light is different in both the cases which is wrong.

As per Einstein's special theory of relativity, the velocity of light will be same in every frame of reference i.e c=300000 km/s.

As per the question ,the space craft is moving with a velocity 0.1 c.

We are asked to calculate the velocity of the light with respect to an observer present in Mars.

Considering Einstein's theory of relativity, the velocity of light will be c [300000 km/s] with respect to the person in Mars.

What is the (magnitude of the) centripetal acceleration (as a multiple of g=9.8~\mathrm{m/s^2}g=9.8 m/s 2 ) towards the Eart

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration as a multiple of $g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is $1.020x10^{-3}m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is defined as:

$a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$ (1)

Where v is the velocity and r is the radius

Since the person is standing in the Earth surfaces, their velocity will be the same of the Earth. That one can be determined by means of the orbital velocity:

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (2)

Where r is the radius and T is the period.

For this case the person is standing at a latitude $71.9^{\circ}$ . Remember that the latitude is given from the equator. The configuration of this system is shown in the image below.

It is necessary to use the radius at the latitude given. That radius can be found by means of trigonometric.

$\cos \theta = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$\cos \theta = \frac{r_{71.9^{\circ}}}{r_{e}}$ (3)

Where $r_{71.9^{\circ}}$ is the radius at the latitude of $71.9^{\circ}$ and $r_{e}$ is the radius at the equator ( $6.37x10^{6}m$ ).

$r_{71.9^{\circ}}$ can be isolated from equation 3:

$r_{71.9^{\circ}} = r_{e} \cos \theta$ (4)

$r_{71.9^{\circ}} = (6.37x10^{6}m) \cos (71.9^{\circ})$

$r_{71.9^{\circ}} = 1.97x10^{6} m$

Then, equation 2 can be used

$v = \frac{2 \pi (1.97x10^{6} m)}{24h}$

Notice that the period is the time that the Earth takes to give a complete revolution (24 hours), this period will be expressed in seconds for a better representation of the velocity.

$T = 24h . \frac{3600s}{1h}$ ⇒ $84600s$
