77. There is a 250-m-high cliff at Half Dome in Yosemite National Park in California. Suppose a boulder breaks loose from the to

p of this cliff. (a) How fast will it be going when it strikes the ground? (b) Assuming a reaction time of 0.300 s, how long a time will a tourist at the bottom have to get out of the way after hearing the sound of the rock breaking loose (neglecting the height of the tourist, which would become negligible anyway if hit)? The speed of sound is 335.0 m/s on this day.

An astronaut is traveling in a space vehicle moving at 0.490c relative to the Earth. The astronaut measures her pulse rate at 66
marta [7]

To solve the exercise it is necessary to use the reciprocal Lorenz factor of the special theory of relativity with the pulse rate.

\Xi = Pulse_{astronaut} * \alpha

Where,

\Xi = Pulse rate measured by earth observed

\alpha = Reciprocal Lorenz Factor

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

Here v is the velocity and c the light speed.

PART A) For the given values we can replace it at the previous equation,

\Xi = Pulse_{astronaut} *\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}

\Xi = 66beats/min * \sqrt{1-\frac{(0.49c)^2}{c^2}}

\Xi = 57.5beats/min

PART B ) If the speed of vehicle is 0.94c:

\Xi = Pulse_{astronaut} *\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}

\Xi = 66beats/min * \sqrt{1-\frac{(0.94c)^2}{c^2}}

\Xi = 22.5beats/min
