Astronaut rachel leaves earth in a spaceship at a speed of 0.960c relative to an observer on earth. rachel's destination is a star system 14.4 light-years away (one light-year is the distance light travels in one year). according to rachel, how long does the trip take?

Taylor's experiment: 1. accurately measured the speed of light 2. locked together the phases of two light sources so that the interference pattern would not shift 3. showed that man's reaction time was much slower than the speed of light 4. showed that individual photons have wave characteristics

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 12 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h = 12t − 1.86t2. (a) find the velocity of the rock after two seconds. m/s (b) find the velocity of the rock when t = a. 12−3.72a m/s (c) when will the rock hit the surface? (round your answer to one decimal place.) t = s (d) with what velocity will the rock hit the surface? m/s
