An observer on Earth receives a signal of 6.614 THz. Thirty minutes later, he receives another signal, followed by a third signal 24.331 minutes later after the second. The observer on Earth knows that the ship should be sending signals at a 2.500THz. How far away is the ship from Earth and how often is the captain of the ship sending signals according to her watch? (Hint: look up the formula for the Relativistic Doppler Shift.)

PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK!!

Did anyone ever heard about this?I've never seen any serious physicist talk about "mass fluctuations".

Here is the man in his own words: http://www.intalek.com/Index/Projects/Research/woodward1.pdf

And what about this guy: http://aetherwavetheory.blogspot.com/

He claims his theory can explain virtually every unsolved problem in contemporary physics.

A ballistic pendulum consists of a thin rod AB (length = 2.0 m; mass = 1.14 kg) that is rigidly attached to a solid sphere that has a center C, radius = 0.4 m, and mass = 2.45 kg. A bullet (mass = 0.01 kg) is fired at point C with a speed of 675 m/s.
Determine the amount of kinetic energy lost by the system due to the impact.

You will estimate how much slower an ice skater would spin, if a can of soda dropped into her hand while she was spinning. You may model her body as a vertical cylinder of radius 20 cn abd nass 50 kg, spinning about a vertical axis. Assume that shes initially spinning 10 times per second, so that initially wi=20pis-1. Suddenly she is handed the soda can, which is small enough that we can model it as a point-like mass of .33kg, which she holds at a distance 60cm from the axis of rotation. (a) find nthe moment of inertia of the ice skater before the soda can drops in her hand. (b) find the moment of inertia of the point-like soda can relative to the axis about which the ice skater rotates. (c) find the total moment of inertia of the system consisting of the ice skater and the soda can. (d) find her angular velocity wf, after the soda can falls into her hand and (e) calculate the percentage difference, compared to her initial angular velocity wi.

A person with a mass of 90 kg performs a vertical jump on a force plate. During the initial phase of the countermovement, vertical force is 540 N for 0.234 s. Then the force is increased to 1553 N and stays at that value until the jumper leaves the ground. At what point in time (s), referenced from the initial point of the countermovement, does the person reach the bottom of the movement? Prior to initiation of the countermovement, the velocity of the center of mass was zero.

A cameraman on a pickup truck is traveling westward at 16 km/h while he videotapes a cheetah that is moving westward 31 km/h faster than the truck. Suddenly, the cheetah stops, turns, and then run at 50 km/h eastward, as measured by a suddenly nervous crew member who stands alongside the cheetah's path. The change in the animal's velocity takes 1.7 s. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction of the animal

A chimney (length 10.8 m, mass 588 kg] cracks at the base and topples.  Assume:

- the chimney behaves like a thin rod, and does not break apart as it falls.

- only gravity (no friction) acts on the chimney as it falls.

- the bottom of the chimney pivots, but does not move.
