Answer #1

While the laws of motion are the same in all inertial frames(stationary reference frame), in non-inertial frames (accelerating reference frame), they vary from frame to frame depending on the acceleration..

In classical mechanics, it is often possible to explain the motion of bodies in non-inertial reference frames that are accelerating by introducing additional fictitious forces (also called inertial forces, pseudo-forces. and d'Alembert forces) to Newton's second law to which if not added would result in different or worng result. Common examples of this include the Coriolis force and the centrifugal force.

Dave is sitting on a spaceship orbiting the Earth (1 au from the sun). At this distance, his solar panels gather an intensity of 1000 (watts/m^2) from the Sun's radiation. Dave wants to gather enough energy to run his coffee machine which needs an intensity of 20 (watts/m^2) Question 1: Dave flies to Saturn (which is approximately 10 au from the sun) and at somewhere along the way his coffee machine no longer gets enough power. What intensity do his...

A person is in orbit around the Earth at a distance of 10000 km from its center and wants to leave. How much extra speed does the person need to ensure they can escape Earth's gravity. e.g. If the orbital speed is 700 m/s and they need to go 800 m/s, enter 100 m/s. Remember that 1 km=1000 m. The mass of the Earth is 6E24 kg. The gravitational consant (G) is 6.67E-11 Nkg^2/m^2

Objects near Earth fall due to gravity. The acceleration of an object due to gravity. The acceleration of an object due to gravity is then x" = g, where x represents the distance above the ground and g = (wave; about same) -9.8m/s(^2) a. Find the general solution to the equation b. Given the initial data x(0) = 0 and x'(0) = 1, find the particular solution c. Plot your solution over a meaningful range of time d. When is...

In the movie The Martian, astronauts travel to Mars in a spaceship called Hermes. This ship has a ring module that rotates around the ship to create “artificial gravity” within the module. Astronauts standing inside the ring module on the outer rim feel like they are standing on the surface of the Earth. (The trailer for this movie shows Hermes at t=2:19 and demonstrates the “artificial gravity” concept between t= 2:19 and t=2:24.) Analyzing a still frame from the trailer...

Clarice says a tearful goodbye to her friend Duncan and departs from Earth on a spaceship. She is traveling at a speed of V. She and Duncan each set a timer to measure how long they've been apart. Duncan stayed on Earth, so Clarice has to let him know she's okay. After she experiences a time ∆ t' according to her timer, she sends him a love letter. 1. First, draw a spacetime diagram! Make sure to label the love...
