Consider a Newtonian universe where the only observers are A and B. Which of these scenario/s describe both observers in an inertial reference frame? I. A moves at a constant speed around a stationary B. II. A moves in a straight line and at a constant speed toward a stationary B. III. A and B move toward each other in a straight line and at constant speeds.
An observer is stationary in the inertial system S. A car is moving in the x-direction with speed v = c / √2 with respect to the observer in S. The driver of the car is stationary with respect to the car, and thus the driver is in a different inertial frame S′. The passenger of the car takes out a baseball, opens the sunroof of the car and throws out the ball with a velocity vB =c/√2. If the baseball is thrown in the x-direction (in the same direction the car is moving), what is the speed of the baseball as seen by the observer in S?
At a particular instant, in a coordinate frame chosen by us, the Earth (mass = 6 x 1024 kg) is at location (-7.30 × 106, -7.80 × 106, 3.73 × 106) m and the Moon (mass = 7 x 10²² kg) is at location (-1.35 × 108, -2.50 × 10³, 2.82 × 108) m. A satellite with mass 5000 kg is at location (-1.18 × 10³, -2.73 × 10³, 3.10 × 108) m. What is the net force on the satellite? Assume that the gravitional force of the Sun is negligible. net = i i !)N
You are the pilot of a spacecraft intended for travel at very high speeds. Before leaving you measure the spacecraft to be 31.4 m long and have a mass of 5.28 x 104 kg. During your travel, you pass a planet and exchange information with an observer on the planet. You are told that your spacecraft has been measured to be 28.6 m long. a. How fast is your spacecraft travelling with respect to the planet? b. You are told there is a nearby planet that is stationary with respect to the first planet. The observer on the first planet says it will take you 25 s to reach the nearby planet. How far away does your co-pilot on the spacecraft say the nearby planet is? c. How much energy was required to accelerate your spacecraft to this speed?
A rocket is moving to the right at 1/2 the speed of light relative to the earth. A light bulb in the center of a room inside the rocket suddenly turns on. Call the light hitting the front end of the room event A and the light hitting the back of the room event B (Fig). Which event occurs first, A or B, or are they simultaneous, as viewed by (a) an astronaut riding in the rocket and (b) a person at rest on the earth?
The space and time coordinates for two events as measured in a frame S are as follows: Event 1: x1=x0 , t1=x0/c Event 2: x2=2x0, t2=x0/2c a. There exists a frame in which these events occur at the same time. Find the velocity of this frame with respect to S. b. What is the value of t at which both events occur in the new frame?
Two manned satellites approaching one another, at a relative speed of 0.200 m/s, intending to dock. The first has a mass of 5.00 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. a. Calculate the final velocity (after docking) in m/s by using the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest. (Assume the second satellite moves in the positive direction. Include the sign of the value in your answer.) m/s b. What is the loss of kinetic energy (in J) in this inelastic collision? J c. Repeat both parts by using the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity (m/s) m/sloss of kinetic energy (J) J Explain why the change in velocity is different in the two frames, whereas the change in kinetic energy is the same in both.

The Starship Enterprise returns from warp drive to ordinary space with a forward speed of 51 km/skm/s . To the crew's great surprise, a Klingon ship is 140 kmkm directly ahead, traveling in the same direction at a mere 30 km/skm/s . Without evasive action, the Enterprise will overtake and collide with the Klingons in just about 6.7 ss . The Enterprise's computers react instantly to brake the ship. What magnitude acceleration does the Enterprise need to just barely avoid a collision with the Klingon ship? Assume the acceleration is constant.
A person is traveling at 28.3 m/s due west on the highway and sees a tractor ahead of him moving ahead of him perpendicularly away from the road (North) at 6.50m/s. (Both these motions are relative to a frame at rest on the ground.) What is the car's velocity in the tractor's frame (magnitude and direction)?
