Suppose that you are traveling on board a spacecraft that is moving with respect to the earth at a speed of 0.955c. You are breathing at a rate of 8.0 breaths per minute. As monitored on earth, what is your breathing rate?

Solutions

Expert Solution

8.0 breaths per minute on board the spacecraft means that each breath takes 0.125 min .

Thus, As monitored on earth, each breath lasts = 0.125 * [1/sqrt(1 - 0.955²)]

= 0.4214 min

Thus, As monitored on earth, breathing rate = 1/0.4214

= 2.3728 breaths per minute

You are one of five astronauts in a spacecraft that is traveling in deep space. Your spacecraft can be thermally modeled as a cylindrical shell made of polished aluminum with uniform thickness that is capped at the ends, being 20m long and having an inner and outer radius of 2.9 m and 3 m with the cap at each end being 10 cm thick. Aluminum has a constant thermal conductivity of 237 W/m K over a wide temperature range, from...

Suppose you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. The mass of the spacecraft is 3.6 × 104 kg (about 36 tons). The rocket engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with a constant velocity of <0, 31, 0> km/s. As you pass the location <6, 6, 0> km you briefly fire side thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of <6 × 105, 0, 0> N for 21.0 s. The ejected gases have a...

A spacecraft of mass m=520 kg stationary with respect to the South Pole of the Earth runs out of fuel and starts to fall vertically toward the South Pole. If the initial altitude of the space craft is 800 km, what is the velocity of the space craft when it hits the surface of the Earth in km/s? Assume that you can ignore the atmospheric friction. Note that the universal gravitational constant G = 6.67x10-11 Nm2/kg2 , the radius of...
