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
The special theory of relativity has what effect on measurements done today? (a) None whatsoever, because any correction would be negligible. (b) We need to consider the effects of relativity when objects move close to the speed of light. (c) We should always make a correction for relativity because Newton’s laws are basically wrong. (d) It doesn’t matter, because we can’t make measurements where relativity would matter.
