At starbase Faraway Point, you observe two spacecraft approaching from the same direction. The Picard approaches starbase Faraway Point with a speed of 0.806 c, and the La Forge approaches the starbase with a speed of 0.918 c. Suppose the Picard now launches a probe toward the starbase.

What velocity must the probe have relative to the Picard if it is to be at rest relative to the La Forge?

What velocity must the probe have relative to the Picard if its velocity relative to the La Forge is to be 0.100c?

For the situation described in part B, what is the velocity of the probe relative to the Faraway Point starbase?

Faraway Point starbase launches a probe toward the approaching starships. The probe has a velocity relative to the Picard of -0.918 c. The Picard approaches starbase Faraway Point with a speed of 0.806 c, and the La Forge approaches the starbase with a speed of 0.918 c. What is the velocity of the probe relative to the La Forge?

What is the velocity of the probe relative to Faraway Point starbase?

You stand on a straight desert road at night and observe a vehicle approaching. This vehicle is equipped with two small headlights that are 0.621m apart. At what distance, in kilometers, are you marginally able to discern that there are two headlights rather than a single light source? Take the wavelength of the light to be 559nm and your pupil diameter to be 4.69mm. Answer in km!

Hadey is approaching the housing situation from a different direction. He does a little research and learns that the mean rent for a one bedroom one bathroom apartment in Avocado Park is $1050 per month with a standard deviation of $125 per month. A. The Avocado Park Housing Authority defines affordable housing as costing LESS than $900 per month for a 1B1R. Would such an apartment be considered unusual for the neighborhood? B. Hadey wants to develop a new apartment...

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...

Two cars are moving at 60 mph in the same direction and in the same lane. The cars are separated by one car length (20 ft) for each 10 mph. The coefficient of friction (skidding) between the tires and the roadway is 0.6. The reaction time is assumed to be 0.5 sec. a) If the lead car hits a parked truck, what is the speed of the second car when it hits the first (stationary) car? b) If the lead...

You observe two species of fish that seem to consume the same resources, but somehow coexist despite limited food resources. You think it may have to do with their ability to avoid predation – one by hiding, the other by moving quickly. Design an experiment to test this observation. What is your hypothesis? What is the ecological mechanism involved? What will your experimental design look like? What will you measure, and what analytical framework/analysis technique will you use? What is...

You observe two point sources of light that are spaced 5 cm apart which are each emitting light of wavelength of 420 nm. If the diameter of your pupil is 2 mm, how distant can the objects be from your eye for you to just barely resolve them? A long, straight wire carries a steady current of 50 A. What is the magnetic field strength at a distance of 7 cm from the wire?

The wave functions of two waves traveling in the same direction are given below. The two waves have the same frequency, wavelength, and amplitude, but they differ in their phase constant. y1 (x,t) = 2 sin⁡(2πx ‒ 20πt), and y2 (x,t) = 2 sin(2πx ‒ 20πt + φ), where, y is in centimetres, x is in meters, and t is in seconds. Assume that the two waves start to propagate at the same instant, t_0,1 = t_0,2 = 0 sec,...
