A spacecraft passes by the Earth at .99c. The spacecraft, as viewed from Earth:
| A. Appears to be shorter than it was on Earth before launch |
| B. Appears to be the same size as it was on Earth before launch |
| C. Appears to be longer than it was on Earth before launch |
Homework Answers
Ans . As the spacecraft is moving with relativistic speed so , it will appear shorter than it was on earth.
This phenomenon is called length contraction .Stated by Einstein in his theory of relativity .
Whenever a body moves with a speed closer to the speed of light , time , length and mass of the body will be different as observed by other observer.

Consider a very small spacecraft in a circular orbit around the earth. Suppose it is in this orbit for some time, but then, instantaneously, the Earths mass suddenly becomes 50% smaller than it was previously. Determine the resulting orbit of the spacecraft and justify your answer. (note: assume that the only effect on the spacecraft is that it is subsequently moving in the gravitational field of a 50% less massive Earth, and its mass and velocity are the same just...

A spacecraft flies away from the earth with a speed of4.90×106 relative to the earth andthen returns at the same speed. The spacecraft carries an atomicclock that has been carefully synchronized with an identical clockthat remains at rest on earth. The spacecraft returns to itsstarting point 365 days (1 year) later, as measured by the clockthat remained on earth. What is the difference in the elapsed timeson the two clocks, measured in hours?

23. A spacecraft is in orbit around the Earth, where if feels a gravitational force of magnitude F. At that moment, it is located a distance L away from the center of the Earth. Later, the spacecraft leaves orbit and travels away from the Earth to visit an asteroid which is passing by. When it reaches the asteroid, it is a distance 40L away from the center of the Earth. What is the force of gravity on the spacecraft from...
