A stationary telescope monitoring a rocket ship observes the ship emitting flashes of light at 1-second intervals. If the ship begins moving toward the telescope at speed 0.6c, with what period does the telescope observe the light flashes?

a.) 0.5 sec

b.) 2 sec

c.) 0.8 sec

d.) 1 sec

e.) 1.2 sec

World class speed skaters can skate a 3,000-m course in about 4 minutes.what is their average speed for this course? a. 12.5 m/sb. 1.33 m/sc. 1.25 m/sd. 13.3 m/s

Assume you measured the mass of the cart to be (500 ± 1) g and the mass of the additional mass you put on the cart to be (500 ± 1) g as well. since the scale you are using in the lab cannot measure objects heavier than 600g you will have to sum up individual pieces and propagate the error. so what would be the mass and the standard error of the cart and the mass

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. the first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite. (a) calculate the final velocity after docking, in the frame of reference in which the first satellite was originally at rest.(b) what is the loss of kinetic energy in this inelastic collision? (c) repeat both parts, in the frame of reference in which the second satellite was originally at rest. final velocity(d) loss of kinetic energy = ?
