  1. The GPS satellites move at a speed of 3874 m/s.
  1. Calculate g.
  2. When v is much less than c, gamma can be approximated by 1 + v2/2c2. Calculate g.
  3. How much time passes on the satellite when one second passes on Earth?
  4. How much less time passes on the satellite when one day passes on Earth?
  5. If this time difference wasn’t corrected, how far off would the calculated distance be?

GPS satellites orbit the earth with a speed of 14000 km/hr relative to fixed positions on earth. Is this a relativistic speed? By how much do clocks on the satellites lag behind clocks on earth per day? If the timing of signals from the satellites received by an earth receiver must have 20 ns precision to determine position within 5 meters, can special relativity be ignored? How long before the difference in time measurements would exceed the required precision?
Consider a satellite of mass m in a circular orbit of radius r around the Earth...
Consider a satellite of mass m in a circular orbit of radius r around the Earth of mass ME and radius RE. 1. What is the gravitational force (magnitude and direction) on the satellite from Earth? 2. If we define g(r) to be the force of gravity on a mass m at a radial distance r from the center of the Earth, divided by the mass m, then evaluate the ratio g(r)/g(RE)to see how g varies with radial distance. If...

A muon formed high in Earth's atmosphere travels towards Earth at a speed v = 0.970c for a distance of 4.30 km as measured by an observer at rest with respect to Earth. It then decays into an electron, a neutrino, and an antineutrino. (a) How long does the muon survive according to an observer at rest on Earth? (b) Compute the gamma factor associated with the muon. (c) How much time passes according to an observer traveling with the...

A 740-kg two-stage rocket is traveling at a speed of 6.40×10^3 m/s away from Earth when a predesigned explosion separates the rocket into two sections of equal mass that then move with a speed of 2.30×10^3 m/s relative to each other along the original line of motion. Part A: What is the speed of each section (relative to Earth) after the explosion? Part B: What are the direction of each section (relative to Earth) after the explosion? a) both away...
