Consider a spaceship with uniform acceleration g. If the ship starts from rest (with respect to an inertial system S imagined as the Earth)

a) find its speed at time t and the distance x traveled.
b) find the ship's own time in terms of t.
c) with respect to an observer in S, how long does it take for the ship to reach the velocity of v = 0.999? And how long does it take the ship's passenger from his point of view to reach that same speed?

A speedboat starts from rest at t = 0 s, and speeds up with a constant acceleration of 4.01 m/s2 for 6.00 s. Then it continues with a uniform speed for another 6.00 s. Finally, it slows down with a constant acceleration of −3.41 m/s2 . In your written work, include the velocity vs. time and acceleration vs. time graphs for this motion. The numerical values on the graphs are required. (a) How long does it take for the speedboat...
