<span>From the point of view of the astronaut, he travels between planets with a speed of 0.6c. His distance between the planets is less than the other bodies around him and so by applying Lorentz factor, we have 2*</span>√1-0.6² = 1.6 light hours. On the other hand, from the point of view of the other bodies, time for them is slower. For the bodies, they have to wait for about 1/0.6 = 1.67 light hours while for him it is 1/(0.8) = 1.25 light hours. The remaining distance for the astronaut would be 1.67 - 1.25 = 0.42 light hours. And then, light travels in all frames and so the astronaut will see that the flash from the second planet after 0.42 light hours and from the 1.25 light hours is, 1.25 - 0.42 = 0.83 light hours or 49.8 minutes.
Answer:
83.67 m/s
Explanation:
Set up a calculation to convert units of measure to what you need.
You have km/s and you need m/s.
4.08km 1000 m 83.67m
----------- X ---------- = --------------- the km will cancel out and you are left
12.0 s 1 km s with m/s
Answer:
Explanation:
Convert the mass to kg:
375g = 375/1000kg = 0.375kg
F = ma
-20 = 0.375a
a = -20/0.375
a = -53
The object is accelerating at 53m/s/s backwards assuming that the forward motion is positive.
Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object on motion. it is expressed as follows:
KE = 0.5mv^2
where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the object. We calculate as follows:
KE = 0.5mv^2
1.1x10^9 J = 0.5(8.0x10^4 kg) v^2
v = 165.83 m/s
