Problem 3:A starship voyages to a distant planet 10 ly away. The astronauts in the starship reach theplanet and then they immediately return to the Earth at the same speed. The round trip from the Earthto the planet and back to the Earth takes 25 years.(a) What is the speed of the starship

speed = 0.8c

Explanation:

Given :

Distance from earth to the distant planet = 10 ly

Time taken by the astronauts for the entire journey = 25 years

The time taken to reach the planet is

                                                                  = 12.5 years

Therefore, speed of the starship can be calculated by :

Therefore the speed of the starship is 0.8c

speed

ratio of distance traveled to time interval

net force

vector sum of forces on object

object

source of diverging light rays either luminous or illuminated

don't remove my answer im trying my best to answer them

explanation:

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
