Suppose you are planning a trip in which a spacecraft is to travel at a constant velocity for exactly six months, as measured by

a clock on board the spacecraft, and then return home at the same speed. Upon return, the people on earth will have advanced exactly 90 years into the future. According to special relativity, how fast must you travel

Answer:

v = 0.99 c = 2.99 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

From the special theory of relativity:

t = \frac{t_o}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }\\

where,

v = speed  of travel = ?

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

t = time measured on earth = 90 years

t₀ = time measured in moving frame = 6 months = 0.5 year

Therefore,

90\ yr = \frac{0.5\ yr}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } } \\\\\\\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}} =  \frac{0.5\ yr}{90\ yr}\\ 1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} = 0.00003086\\\frac{v^2}{c^2} = 1-0.00003086\\

<u>v = 0.99 c = 2.99 x 10⁸ m/s</u>

A jet liner must reach a speed of 82 m/s for takeoff. If the
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The acceleration that the jet liner that must have is 2.241 meters per square second.

Explanation:

Let suppose that the jet liner accelerates uniformly. From statement we know the initial (v_{o}) and final speeds (v_{f}), measured in meters per second, of the aircraft and likewise the runway length (d), measured in meters. The following kinematic equation is used to calculate the minimum acceleration needed (a), measured in meters per square second:

a = \frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot d}

If we know that v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}, v_{f} = 82\,\frac{m}{s} and d = 1500\,m, then the acceleration that the jet must have is:

a = \frac{\left(82\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)^{2}}{2\cdot (1500\,m)}

a = 2.241\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The acceleration that the jet liner that must have is 2.241 meters per square second.

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The balloon prohibits the flow of air through the air capacitor.

Explanation:

Just like an electric capacitor has an insulator between the plates, the air capacitor has a balloon between the chambers.
