How would the acceleration due to gravity change at the peak of Mt. Everest (29000 ft or 8850 m)? How high do you think you would have to be to see a significant difference? Explain.
The speed of light is about 3 x 108 meters per second. The Millennium Falcon is traveling from Earth to Mars
at the speed of light. The distance between the Earth and Mars fluctuates between 5.46 x 10¹0 meters and
4,01 x 10¹¹ meters.
If the day the Millennium Falcon makes the "Mars Run," the distance is 2.25 x 10¹¹ meters, how long will it
take them?
Note: distance = rate time, and time = distance/rate
Express your answer in scientific notation. Use for the multiplication.
seconds
Convert your answer to minutes. Include at least 3 decimal places in your answer, which can be expressed in
standard notation.
minutes
Suppose the Millennium Falcon flies for 5 hours at the speed of light. How far will they travel? Express your
answer in scientific notation.
meters
In general relativity, gravity
changes time. Gravitational
potential = - G M / R. Time
change r = At/t = A/c². A
satellite (e.g., GPS) orbits 21 km
above Earth surface, and gravity
at the satellites are a little different
from Earth surface. The distance
error is Ad = c At. Ad is
km in one day
