Hi, I tried so hard for this question but I couldn't succeed. Can you solve this question for me.
The coordinates of the position of the rocket in the figure at the given moment are (4,4,2) km. Observers at A, B and C are trying to measure their position relative to the rocket. Calculate the directional cosines of the rAR rBR, rCR vectors measured by the observers at the given moment.
An experimentalist in a laboratory finds that a particle has a helical path. The position of this particle in the laboratory frme is given by
r(t)= R cos(wt)i + R sin(wt)j + vztk
R,vz, and w are constants. A moving frame has velocity (Vm)L= vzk relative to the laboratory frame.
In vector form:
A)What is the path of the partical in the moving frame?
B)what is the velocity of the particle as a function of time relative to the moving frame?
C)What is the acceleration of the particle in each frame?
D)How should the accelerartion in each frame be realted?Does your answer to part c make sense?

- (a) Using the information in the previous problem, what velocity do you need to escape the Milky Way galaxy from our present position? (b) Would you need to accelerate a spaceship to this speed relative to Earth?arrow_forwardPlease answer this NEATLY, COMPLETELY, and CORRECTLY for an UPVOTE. A particle moves along the x-axis with an initial velocity of 30.55 fps (NOTE: fps means ft/s or feet per second, NOT “frame” per second) at the origin. For the first 5 seconds, it has no acceleration, and afterwards it is acted on by an opposing force which gives it a decreasing velocity until the particle stops at t = 10 s. a. Draw the a–t and s–t graphs for the motion. b. Calculate the velocity of the particle at t = 8 sc. Find the distance traveled by the particle at t = 10 s.

- Imagine that you are going for a ride in a hot air balloon at the Canowindra Balloon Challenge. While the balloon is rising at a speed of 2.0 m/s, you throw a small ball down at a speed of 5.0 m/s relative to your body. A person who measures the ball's velocity at the instant of release will find that the ball's velocity relative to the ground at that instant is O a. 3.0 m/s, up. O b. 2.0 m/s, up.

Ana does it to the right, up to the mark at x = L and Beto to the left until x = -L. Suppose they both travel at the same speed v relative to the ground. From the public's point of view, the race is fair. But Ana sees things differently. From his point of view (in his system of reference) you can see the clocks on your and Beto's finish lines. a) Ana complains to those in charge of the race that something is wrong with the clocks of the points of arrival. What do you see? (Be clear, specific and quantitative) b) Ana says that she won the race. Why do you think this? How much do you think you won? (A relativistic race - modern physics) %3Darrow_forward
