Two astronomical events are observed to occur at a time of 0.30 s apart and a distance separation of 2.0109m from each other. How fast must a spacecraft travel from the site of one event toward the other to make the events occur at the same time when measured in the frame of reference of the spacecraft?
. A compact neutron star has a mass of kg (about 1.4 times the mass of the Sun) but a radius of only m (approximately 6.2 mi!). If a clock on the surface of this exotic star marks the passage of 1 h of time, how much time is observed to pass on an identical clock located a very large distance from the neutron star?
If you use an Earth-based telescope to project a laser beam onto the Moon, you can move the spot across the Moon's surface at a velocity greater than the speed of light. Does this Violate modern relativity? (Note that light is being sent from the Earth to the Moon, not across the surface of the Moon.)

O Europa had many icy comets crash into the surface bring water to the moon and melting the water as it fell into the core. O Furopa formed with an unusual amount of liquid water in the core and the coldness of space wasn't able to freeze it. O upiter's strong gravitational force is causing Europa to flex in its orbit, leading to an increase in internal heating. O Europa's close proximity to Jupiter puts it into a gravitational tug-of-war with Jupiter's targest moon Ganymede. Question 10 How was Neptune discovered?

You are on an interstellar mission from the Earth to the 8.7 light-years distant star Sirius. Your spaceship can travel with 70% the speed of light and has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 6 m at the front surface and a length of 25 m. You have to cross the interstellar medium with anthe approximated density of 1 hydrogen atom/m3Because you are moving at an enormous speed, your mission from the previous part will be influenced by the effects of time dilation described by special relativity: Your spaceshiplaunches in June 2020 and returns back to Earth directly after arriving at Sirius.(a) How many years will have passed from your perspective?(b) At which Earth date (year and month) will you arrive back to Earth?

Hello. this question is regarding the speed of light quick thought experiment: you have a rod that is 1 million kilometers across. if the rod can be moved slightly from either end, the other end will move as well. because this can serve as a signaling method to get small pieces of information across vast distances instantaneously, does it violate the speed of light?
When we look out into the universe, we see into the past. John Dobson, founder of the San Francisco Sidewalk Astronomers, says that we cannot even see the backs of our own hands now—in fact, we can’t see anything now. Do you agree? Explain.
Particles with mass are prevented from moving at the speed of light by O the increasing cost in energy as they approach the speed of light. the contraction of their length to zero. O time slowing to a stop. the pressure from the shock wave or "light boom" that builds up as light waves bunch up.
