Chapter 2, Problem 31P
SSM Suppose a rocket ship in deep space moves with constant acceleration equal to 9.8 m/s2, which gives the illusion of normal gravity during the flight. (a) If it starts from rest, how long will it take to acquire a speed one-tenth that of light, which travels at 3.0 ×108 m/s? (b) How far will it travel in so doing?
