A space traveler takes off from Earth and moves at speed 0.9900c toward the star Vega, which is 20.00 ly distant. How much time will have elapsed by Earth clocks (a) when the traveler reaches Vega and (b) when the Earth observers receive words from the traveler that she has arrived? (c) How much older will Earth observers calculate the traveler to be (measured in the spaceship’s frame ) when the traveler reaches Vega than she was when she started the trip? (d) In the space traveler’s frame, one can regard that the Earth observer was moving in opposite direction as well. Assuming one of the twins was traveling and the other was left in Earth, will their age be different when the spaceship stopped at the Vega? Explain.

A spaceship travels at a constant speed from earth to a planet
orbiting another star. When the spacecraft arrives, 11 years have
elapsed on earth, and 9.7 years have elapsed on board the ship. How
far away (in meters) is the planet, according to observers on
earth?

A one-stage rocket takes off from Space and is tasked with
entering into a geosynchronous (the
period of orbit is one day) low earth orbit at an altitude of
2,000km above the surface of the Earth. The mass of the
rocket is 550,000kg,
a) At what final speed does the rocket need to be moving to
achieve the specified orbit?
b) If the exhaust velocity of the fuel is 2.20x103m/s what
percentage of the rocket’s mass must be fuel?
c)...

An alien is zipping toward the Earth in its shiny new space
vehicle. As you watch it approach from the surface of the Earth,
you measure the speed of the space vehicle to be 0.75c. Since this
alien is of the friendly type and wants you to know it has come in
peace, the alien sends a message to you using radio wave
frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum. 13) If both you and
the alien were to measure the speed...

A rocket, launched from the Earth, shuts off its engines when
its speed is 4.90 km/s. It reaches a maximum altitude H of 2790 km
before it falls back to Earth. At what altitude l did the rocket's
engines shut off? The mass, radius, and escape speed of the Earth
are 5.972 x 1024 kg, 6.371 x 106 m, and 11.18 km/s respectively (4
points)

The golf field is flat and horizontal. Neglecting air resistance
how far will the golf ball fly?
How high will the golf ball rise?
How much time will the ball spend in the air?
How far would the ball fly if the initial speed was doubled?

A 121-kg astronaut (including space suit) acquires a speed of
2.20 m/s by pushing off with her legs from a 1600-kg space capsule.
Use the reference frame in which the capsule is at rest before the
push. Part A: What is the velocity of the space capsule after the
push in the reference frame? Express your answer to two significant
figures and include the appropriate units. Enter positive value if
the direction of the velocity is in the direction of...
