ch 24 Q 1.) The team monitoring a space probe exploring the outer solar system finds that radio trasmissions from the probe take 2.62 hours to reach earth. How distant (in meters) is the probe?
Homework Answers
The elapsed time t is given in hours, so let us first convert into seconds
t = 2.62*3600 = 9432 sec
The distance between the earth an the probe is
d = c*t
= 3*10^8*9432
= 2.83*10^12 m

Space probes communicate with controllers on Earth using radio waves. Suppose a probe has a radiotransmitter that operates at a frequency of 433.0 MHz when at rest relative to the observer. This probe is now wandering the solar system. The signal you pick up from the probe is shifted 2.990E+4 Hz higher in frequency than the rest frequency given above. How fast is the probe traveling and is it traveling towards or away from Earth? (assume it is either traveling...

The Voyager 1 spacecraft is now beyond the outer reaches of our solar system, but earthbound scientists still receive data from the spacecraft's 20-W radio transmitter. Voyager is expected to continue transmitting until about 2025, when it will be some 25 billion km from Earth. 1) What's the diameter of a dish antenna that will receive 10−20W of power from Voyager at this time?

Alpha Centauri is the closest star system and planetary system to our Solar System at 4.24 light-years from the Sun. A NASA spacecraft, Deep Space 1 (DS1), can travel in deep space at a top speed of 35,000 mph, how many years would it take DS1 to reach Alpha Centauri? Assuming light travels at a speed of 299,792,458 meter per second and 1 mile = 1609 meters.

NASA is still in communication with the Voyager 1 spacecraft, 41 years and 7 months after its launch. The spacecraft is currently at a distance of about 145 Astronomical Units (AU), or over 4 times the current distance to Pluto. How long did it take a bit of data in a radio signal stream from the spacecraft to reach the Earth where the Deep Space Network's 70-meter dishes detects faint signals?

Q-1 Rutherford's solar system model of the atom was inspired by the surprising results from his now-famous gold foil experiment, wherein alpha particles were fired at the speed of 1.75 x 10 meters per second toward a very thin sheet of gold. (The alpha particles were scattered with some bouncing directly backward, implying the existence of a tiny, massive, positively-charged atomic nucleus!) What is the closest distance these energetic alpha particles were able to get to a stationary gold nucleus...
