The U.S.S. Enterprise is chased by a Borg Cube through a straight, 3000 meter-long, wormhole. - The Enterprise enters the wormhole with a speed of 100 m/s. - The Enterprise is out of fuel and is slowing at a constant rate of 1.66 m/s2 . - The chasing Borg Cube travels with a constant speed of 60 m/s. - The Borg Cube enters the wormhole a full 8.00 seconds after the Enterprise. (A)How long does it take the Enterprise to move through the entire wormhole? (B) With what speed does the Enterprise exit the wormhole? (C)Does the Borg Cube catch the Enterprise before the end of the wormhole? If so, where and if not, how far behind is the Borg Cube when the Enterprise exits? (D)When the Borg Cube is in the middle of the 3000-meter passageway, what is the Enterprise’s speed?

In an intergalactic competition, spaceship pilots compete to see who can cover the distance between two asteroids in the shortest time. The judges are at rest with respect to the two asteroids. From the judges’ point of view, a pilot has covered the 3-millionkm course in 20 seconds. From the pilots’ point of view,A. The course is longer than 3 million km, the time longer than 20 seconds.B. The course is longer than 3 million km, the time shorter than 20 seconds.C. The course is shorter than 3 million km, the time longer than 20 seconds.D. The course is shorter than 3 million km, the time shorter than 20 seconds.
There is a galactic, royal wedding in El Candrea. Maria Isabela, the princess of andalusia prima maxima, is riding a diamond-studded, pink spacetime motorcycle whose maximum speed is 5x10^2 km/s. The religious princess started her speed at about 5x10^1 km/s and she is to supposed to travel 1.78 x 10^4 km at a straight distance in about 60 seconds to reach the wedding before the galactic church closes. The princess accelerated until her max speed was reached. She then maintains the aforementioned speed till she reached the wedding gates. To reach the church before it closes, what should be her minimum constant acceleration? a. 8.30 km/s^2, b. 7.50 km/s^2, c. 5.29 km/s^2, or d. 6.95 km/s^2
1. Firecrackers and rockets: Suppose a rocket pilot sets off two firecrackers, the second exactly 10 days after the first (according to the pilot). Now suppose that according to an observer on Earth, the rocket is moving at a constant speed v and the two firecracker-explosions are spatially separated by Ar = 2 - 1014m, i.e. that the rocket travels a distance Ax between the explosions. How much time passed on Earth between these explosions? Relativistic velocity addition: Consider a universe in which Einstein's postulates and special ilog (hour imstead of 3- 10°m/s. A Cessna 2. 0000
In general relativity, gravity changes time. Gravitational potential = - G M / R. Time change r = At/t = A/c². A satellite (e.g., GPS) orbits 21 km above Earth surface, and gravity at the satellites are a little different from Earth surface. The distance error is Ad = c At. Ad is km in one day Please do not copy and paste. Thank you!
An atom bounces off the surface of a planet and heads straight up with an initial velocity of 512 m/s to a height of 35.425 km. Based on the gravitational acceleration it experienced, what planet was it? Mars (g = 3.7 m/s2) Venus (g = 8.9 m/s2) Earth (g = 9.8 m/s2) A. Earth B. Mars C. Venus
25. A rocket is launched from the surface of a planet with mass M and radius R. What is the minimum velocity the rocket must be given to completely escape from the planet’s gravitational field? A. (2GM/R)1/2 B. (2GM/R)3 C. (GM/R)1/2 D. 2GM/R
You are a passenger on a spaceship. As the speed of the spaceship increases, you would observe A. the length of your spaceship getting shorter. B. the length of your spaceship getting longer. C. the length of your spaceship varying erratically. D. nothing unusual about the length of your spaceship.
13.3 Time travel. Ivan's doctor breaks the sad news that Ivan has been diagnosed with an incurable disease and has just over 2 years to live. "Medical researchers are working on a cure right now," the doctor explains, "and it will be available in twelve years. But I'm afraid that this will be too late to help you." Rather than give in to despair, Ivan jumps into a fast rocket ship and travels at high speed. When he returns to Earth he has aged 2 years and is near death. But 12 years have elapsed on Earth, the medical research has been successful, and Ivan is cured. How fast did Ivan travel? (Ignore the brief periods of acceleration.)

A space probe with a diameter of 2.50m is moving past Saturn's moon Enceladus. An observational platform on Enceladus measures the shortest length of the ellipsoidal probe to be 1.25m. How fast is the probe moving relative to the moon? a) .999c b) .995c c) .957c d) .883c e) .866c
