A lighthouse sweeps its beam of light around in a circle once every 9.6 s. To an observer in a spaceship moving away from Earth, the beam of light completes one full circle every 18 s.

1. The control panel on a spaceship contains a light that blinks every 3.01 s as observed by an astronaut in the ship. If the spaceship is moving past Earth with a speed of 0.743c, determine the proper time interval between blinks and the time interval between blinks as observed by a person on Earth. A. the proper time interval (in s) between blinks ___________ s B. the time interval (in s) between blinks as observed by a person on...

(1 point) The light in a lighthouse revolves around an axis. The beam of light is perpendicular to the axis but the axis is not vertical. Because the axis is tilted, when the light beam points east it is inclined upward at 10 degree(s). When the beam points north, it is inclined upward at 1 degree(s). What is the maximum angle of elevation of the light beam? (Give at least five decimals of accuracy.)
Two rockets A & B fly past an observer. "A" moves at constant speed 1000 m/s relative to ground, "B" moves at constant speed 1000 m/s relative to ground and opposite of rocket A. Rocket A sends light opposite to where it is heading.
You are standing on the ground observing the sky. Two spaceships A and B fly past you. Spaceship A is moving at a constant speed of 1000 m/s relative to the ground. Spaceship B is moving opposite to A at speed of 1000 m/s relative to the ground. Spaceship A fires a strobe light that sends out a pulse of light opposite to where it is heading. a) What is the velocity of spaceship A relative to spaceship B? b) What is...

c. Remember that a light-year is defined as the distance, relative to Earth, that light travels in one calendar year on Earth. If Alpha Centauri is 4.37 light-years away from Earth, what is this distance measured by you from your spaceship? d. You and your twin decided to synchronize your clocks before you started your trip so you can compare the length of your trip once you get back. i. How long does it take the spaceship to reach its...

The reflectors in light houses are used to project the light of the lighthouse out to sea had to be rotated at a certain speed. This rotation of the light gave the lighthouses their distinctive flashing patterns. Each lighthouse has a different pattern so sailors could identify which lighthouse they were approaching. Lighthouses are still used today by sailors as a secondary source of navigation. The rotation of the beam was achieved through the use of a clockwork mechanism. The...

An object is moving counterclockwise at a constant speed around the circle x^2 + y^2 = 1, where x and y are measured in meters. It completes one revolution every minute. a) What is its speed? b) What is its velocity vector 30 seconds after it passes the point (1,0)? Does your answer change if the object is moving clockwise? Explain.

Consider 2 observers moving toward each other at high speed. One fires a light beam toward the other at speed c. What speed v does the second observer measure for the light beam? (a) v > c (b) v = c (c) v < c (d) Depends on magnitude and direction of relative speed of observers.

The figure shows a method once used for measuring the speed of
light. The method uses a spinning wheel with small slots around its
rim. A beam of light passes through a slot at the edge of the
wheel, travels to a distant mirror, and is reflected back to the
wheel. If the wheel is turning at the correct angular speed, the
returned light ray will arrive just in time to pass through the
slot adjacent to the one it...
