2. A 195 kg astronaut is half-way between the earth and the moon. At this location, calculate the total gravitational force acting on the astronaut from the earth and the moon. For the distance between the Earth and the Moon use 406 x 106 m. The mass of the Earth is 5.98 × 1024 kg, and the mass of the moon is 7.35 x 10²² kg.

The cosmic rays of highest energy are protons that m have kinetic energy on the order of 1013 MeV. (a) As measured in the protons frame, what time interval would a proton of this energy require to trawl across the Milky Way galaxy, which has a proper diameter 105 ly? (b) From the point of view of the proton, how many kilometers across is the galaxy?
An Earth satellite used in the Global Positioning System moves in a circular orbit with period 11 h 58 min. (a) Determine the radius of its orbit. (b) Determine its speed. (c) The satellite contains an oscillator producing the principal nonmilitary GPS signal. Its frequency is 1 575.42 MHz in the reference frame of the satellite. When it is received on the Earths surface, what is the fractional change in this frequency due to time dilation, as described by special relativity? (d) The gravitational blueshift of the frequency according to general relativity is a separate effect. The magnitude of that fractional change is given by ff=Ugmc2 where Ug/m is the change in gravitational potential energy per unit mass between the two points at which the signal is observed. Calculate this fractional change in frequency. (e) What is the overall fractional change in frequency? Superposed on both of these relativistic effects is a Doppler shift that is generally much larger. It can be a redshift or a blueshift, depending on the motion of a particular satellite relative to a GPS receiver (Fig. P1.39).
An astronaut wishes to visit the Andromeda galaxy, making a one-way trip that will take 30.0 years in the space-ships frame of reference. Assume the galaxy is 2.00 million light-years away and his speed is constant. (a) How fast must he travel relative to Earth? (b) What will be the kinetic energy of his spacecraft, which has mass of 1.00 106 kg? (c) What is the cost of this energy if it is purchased at a typical consumer price for electric energy, 13.0 cents per kWh? The following approximation will prove useful: 11+x1x2forx1
An astronomer on the Earth observes a meteoroid in the southern sky approaching the Earth at a speed of 0.800c. Al the time of its discovery the meteoroid is 20.0 ly front the Earth. Calculate (a) the time interval required for the meteoroid to reach the Earth as measured by the Earthbound astronomer, (b) this time interval as measured by a tourist on the meteoroid, and (c) the distance to the Earth as measured by the tourist.
If a GUT is proven, and the four forces are unified, it will still be correct to say that the orbit of the moon is determined by the gravitational force. Explain why.
An interstellar space probe is launched from Earth. After a brief period of acceleration, it moves with a constant velocity, 70.0% of the speed of light. Its nuclear-powered batteries supply the energy to keep its data transmitter active continuously. The batteries have a lifetime of 15.0 years as mean red in a rest frame. (a) How long do the batteries on the space probe last as measured by mission control on Earth? (b) How far is the probe from Earth when its batteries fail as measured by mission control? (c) How far is the probe from Earth as measured by its built-in trip odometer when its batteries fail? (d) For what total time after launch are data received from the probe by mission control? Note that radio waves travel at the speed of light and till the space between the probe and Earth at the time the battery fails.
