NASA decides to chase the International Space Station (ISS) after the alien ship, reaching v=0.999c=299482km/s (where 'c' is the speed of light equal to 299782km/s). According to NASA the ISS has a mass of 420 tons when in orbit arond the Earth. What would its mass be when moving after the ship? O The ISS would have no mass, it's in space. The ISS would have an effective mass of nearly 19 tons. The ISS would increase in effective mass to 9400 tons. O The ISS would have the same mass of 420 tons.

A cannonball has an ejection velocity of 800 m/sec compared to a fixed cannon. Now we mount the gun on a carriage and neglect the friction forces. Let's assume that the gun-cart system has a mass of 2000 kg and that the balls have a mass of 10 kg; we have 5 balls on the cart. What will be the speed of the cannon and the first ball, with respect to the ground ? What will be the speed of the gun carriage relative to the ground after it fires the second ball? What will be the speed of the second ball relative to the ground?

An atomic nucleus suddenly bursts apart (fission) into two pieces. Piece A with mass mA travels to the left with a speed of vA. Piece B with mass mB travels to the right with speed vB. Show the velocity of piece B in terms of mA, mB and VA. Solution: Consider that the nucleus is not acted by an external force. Thus, momentum is conserved, so: pBf + pAf = 0 Substituting the expression for momentum results to mBv + mAv = 0 Deriving the expression for the velocity of piece B results to
