Which of the following statements are IMPOSSIBLE? Choose all that apply. The rocket's speed was measured to be 0.29c. MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACH The rocket's rest length is 228 m. An observer flying by measured the rocket to be 21 m long. A rocket flying by the Sun at 0.72c measured the speed of the photons (particles of light) emitted by the Sun to be c. An inertial reference frame had an acceleration of 9.8 m/s². The proper time interval between two events was measured to be 294 s. The time interval between the same two events (as measured by an observer not in the proper frame) was 198 s.

identify the knowns, unknown(s), appropriate formula(s) then computation. 1. a) Imagine that your mass in kilograms is 55 kg. Consider this as your rest mass and compute your rest energy in J and in eV. (b) Suppose you used Darna’s stone and was able to fly at one-fourth the speed of light relative to the earth. Compute your relativistic mass, relativistic momentum, relativistic kinetic energy and relativistic total energy.

Which of the following statements are IMPOSSIBLE? Choose all that apply. The rocket's speed was measured to be 1.02c. ASK YOUR TEACH The rocket's rest length is 847 m. An observer flying by measured the rocket to be 173 m long. A rocket flying by the Sun at 0.48c measured the speed of the photons (particles of light) emitted by the Sun to be 0.79c. An inertial reference frame had an acceleration of 0 m/s². The proper time interval between two events was measured to be 296 s. The time interval between the same two events (as measured by an observer not in the proper frame) was 370
