An astronaut is traveling in a space vehicle that has a speed of 0.480c relative to Earth. The astronaut measures his pulse rate

at 78.5 per minute. Signals generated by the astronaut's pulse are radioed to Earth when the vehicle is moving perpendicularly to a line that connects the vehicle with an Earth observer. (Due to vehicle's path there will be no Doppler shift in the signal.)
(a) What pulse rate does the Earth-based observer measure? beats/min
(b) What would be the pulse rate if the speed of the space vehicle were increased to 0.940c?
beats/min

Explanation:

The heart rate of the astronaut is 78.5 beats per minute, which means that the time between heart beats is 0.0127 min. This will be the time t measured by the moving observer. The time t' measured by the stationary Earth-based observer is given by

t' = \dfrac{t}{\sqrt{1 - \left(\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}\right)}}

a) If the astronaut is moving at 0.480c, the time t' is

t' = \dfrac{0.0127\:\text{min}}{\sqrt{1 - \left(\dfrac{0.2304c^2}{c^2}\right)}}

\:\:\:\:=0.0145\:\text{min}

This means that time between his heart beats as measured by Earth-based observer is 0.0145 min, which is equivalent to 69.1 beats per minute.

b) At v = 0.940c, the time t' is

t' = \dfrac{0.0127\:\text{min}}{\sqrt{1 - \left(\dfrac{0.8836c^2}{c^2}\right)}}

\:\:\:\:=0.0372\:\text{min}

So at this speed, the astronaut's heart rate is 1/(0.0372 min) or 26.9 beats per minute.

For a top player, a tennis ball may leave the racket on the serve with a speed of 55 m/s (about 120 mi/h). If the ball has a mas
inn [45]

Answer:

Yes is large enough

Explanation:

We need to apply the second Newton's Law to find the solution.

We know that,

F= ma

And we know as well that

a= \frac{v}{t}

Replacing the aceleration value in the equation force we have,

F= \frac{mv}{t}

Substituting our values we have,

F= \frac{(0.060)(55)}{4*10^{-3}}

F=825N

The weight of the person is then,

W = mg

W = (60)(9.8) = 558N

<em>We can conclude that force on the ball is large to lift the ball</em>

You and a friend work in buildings five equal-length blocks apart, and you plan to meet for lunch. Your friend strolls leisurely
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Your friend is 2.143 blocks from the restaurant.

You are 2.857 blocks from the restaurant.

Explanation:

Let t be the time both you and your friend take to walk to the restaurant.

The distance (m) from your building to the restaurant is your walking time t times your speed v1

s_1 = v_1t = 1.6t

Similarly the distance (m) from your friend building to the restaurant:

s_2 = v_2t = 1.2t

Let b be the length (in m) of a block, the total distance of 5 blocks is 5b

s_1 + s_2 = 5b

1.6t + 1.2t = 5b

2.8t = 5b

t = 5b/2.8 = 25b/14

s_2 = 1.2t = 1.2(25b/14) = 2.143b

So your friend are 2.143b meters from the restaurant, since each block is b meters long, 2.143b meters would equals to 2.143b/b = 2.143 blocks. And you are 5 - 2.143 = 2.857 blocks from the restaurant.
