If the mass of a spaceship is approximately 5x10^9 kg, how much mass must be converted into kinetic energy to accelerate it from rest to one-tenth the speed of light? How much mass would be required to decelerate the spaceship to rest in space? Recall that there is no friction in space.

When using the scientist method, which step comes last?

Aparticle of mass m is placed in a one-dimensional box of length l. the box is so small that the particle’s motion is relativistic, so that e p2/2m is not valid. (a) derive an expression for the energy levels of the particle using the relativistic energy–momentum relation and the quantization of momentum that derives from connement. (b) if the particle is an electron in a box of length l 1.00 1012 m, nd its lowest possible kinetic energy. by what percent is the nonrelativistic formula for the energy in error?

During the apollo moon missions, astronauts were concerned about the effects of newton's third law of motion when: o a. they ejected waste water, because they were concerned that it would push them off course. o b. they reentered earth's atmosphere, because they were carrying heavy moon rocks. o c. they took off from earth, because a large force was required to generate large acceleration. o d. they detected incoming space debris, because the inertia of the debris could damage their ship.
