An astronaut is out in space with an extremely precise timing device measuring the speed of various fast‑moving objects. A laser

Answer and Explanation:
with reference to Einstein's theory of special relativity, the speed of an electromagnetic radiation, here, laser will not change in any inertial frame or remains same irrespective of any change in inertial frame.
Therefore, the speed of light measured in both the cases, i.e., in astronaut's reference frame and spaceship's reference frame will be equal to the speed of light in vacuum, i.e., .
The laser gun's speed in astronaut's reference frame is the same as the speed of the spaceship as it mounted on it, i.e., the speed of the laser gun is 200 million m/s.
The laser gun's speed measured in spaceship's reference frame will be zero, as it is mounted on the spaceship and is stationary in the spaceship's reference frame.

Answer:
≈ 2.1 R
Explanation:
The moment of inertia of the bodies can be calculated by the equation
I = ∫ r² dm
For bodies with symmetry this tabulated, the moment of inertia of the center of mass
Sphere = 2/5 M R²
Spherical shell = 2/3 M R²
The parallel axes theorem allows us to calculate the moment of inertia with respect to different axes, without knowing the moment of inertia of the center of mass
I = + M D²
Where M is the mass of the body and D is the distance from the center of mass to the axis of rotation
Let's start with the spherical shell, axis is along a diameter
D = 2R
Ic = + M D²
Ic = 2/3 MR² + M (2R)²
Ic = M R² (2/3 + 4)
Ic = 14/3 M R²
The sphere
Is = + M [
²
Is = Ic
2/5 MR² + M ² = 14/3 MR²
² = R² (14/3 - 2/5)
= √ (R² (64/15)
= 2,066 R
.75(m/s)^2
