Three enemy spacecraft have been causing trouble in the asteroid belt. they always travel in a line, evenly spaced apart, attempting to chase down local spacecraft to steal their goods. the local asteroid colonists have decided to set a trap to capture these three spacecraft. they'll get them to chase one of their fastest ships into an asteroid with a large hole in it and, once the three enemy ships are inside, close two giant trapdoors on each side of the asteroid to catch them. these spacecraft all travel close to the speed of light so the locals will have to take relativity into account. intelligence about the enemy spacecraft reveals that, in their reference frame, they always travel 90 m behind their teammate, each spacecraft is 10 m in length, and their maximum velocity is 90% the speed of light (relative to the asteroids). the asteroid tunnel is only 215 m in length. in this problem we will analyze whether the locals will be able to capture the enemy spacecraft after taking into account relativity.
now the locals can see that, taking into account relativity, the enemy spacecraft will be in a line that is only 91.5 m long when they're traveling at 90% the speed of light relative to the asteroid. for how long a time period will all three spacecraft be inside of the asteroid? express your answer in microseconds to two significant figures.

Copper has free electrons per cubic meter. a 71.0-cm length of 12-gauge copper wire that is 2.05 mm in diameter carries 4.85 a of current. (a) how much time does it take for an electron to travel the length of the wire? (b) repeat part (a) for 6-gauge copper wire (diameter 4.12 mm) of the same length that carries the same current. (c) generally speaking, how does changing the diameter of a wire that carries a given amount of current affect the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire?

Aprojectile is launched from ground level with an initial velocity of v 0 feet per second. neglecting air resistance, its height in feet t seconds after launch is given by s equals negative 16 t squared plus v 0 t. find the time(s) that the projectile will (a) reach a height of 192 ft and (b) return to the ground when v 0equals112 feet per second. (a) find the time(s) that the projectile will reach a height of 192 ft when v 0equals112 feet per second. select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
