Answer:

the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

speed of the spacecraft as it moves past the is 0.6 times the speed of light

we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

so speed of spacecraft v = 0.6 × c = 0.6c

time interval between ticks of the spacecraft clock Δt₀ = 3.2 seconds

Now, from time dilation;

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v² / c² ) )

t = Δt₀ / √( 1 - ( v/c )² )

we substitute

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6c / c )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - ( 0.6 )² )

t = 3.2 / √( 1 - 0.36 )

t = 3.2 / √0.64

t = 3.2 / 0.8

t = 4 seconds

Therefore, the time interval that an earth observer measures is 4 seconds

A 10-m-long glider with a mass of 680 kg (including the passengers) is gliding horizontally through the air at 34 m/s when a 60
german

Answer:

34 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of glider with person = 680 kg

v = Velocity of glider with person = 34 m/s

m_1 = Mass of glider without person = 680-60 kg

v_1 = Gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go

m_2 = Mass of person = 60 kg

v_2 = Velcotiy of person = 34 m/s

As the linear momentum of the system is conserved

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=mv\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{mv-m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{680\times 34-60\times 34}{680-60}\\\Rightarrow v_1=34\ m/s

The gliders speed just after the skydiver lets go is 34 m/s
