Astronauts aboard the ISS move at about 8000 m/s, relative to us when we look upward. How long does an astronaut need to stay aboard the space station to be a full second youngerthan people on the ground? Please show and explain how you would set-up the problem, before you actually try to solve it. If you cannot solve it exactly, please try to offer an estimate.(5 pts)

#_time = 7.5 10⁴ s

Explanation:

In order for the astronaut to be younger than the people on earth, it follows that the speed of light has a constant speed in vacuum (c = 3 108 m / s), therefore with the expressions of special relativity we have.

t = $\frac{t_p}{ \sqrt{1- (v/c)^2} }$

where t_p is the person's own time in an immobile reference frame,

$t_{p} = t \sqrt{1 - (\frac{v}{c})^2 }$

let's calculate

we assume that the speed of the space station is constant

$t_p = 1 \sqrt{1 - \frac{8 \ 10^3}{3 \ 10^8} }$

$t_p = 1 \sqrt{1- 2.6666 \ 10^{-5}}$

t_ = 0.99998666657 s

therefore the time change is

Δt = t - t_p

Δt = 1 - 0.9998666657

Δt = 1.3333 10⁻⁵ s

this is the delay in each second, therefore we can use a direct rule of proportions. If Δt was delayed every second, how much second (#_time) is needed for a total delay of Δt = 1 s

#_time = 1 / Δt

#_time = $\frac{1}{1.3333 \ 10^{-5}}$

#_time = 7.5 10⁴ s

Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun. it was the first planet to get its existence predicted by mathematical calculations before it was actually seen through a telescope on sept. 23, 1846. irregularities in the orbit of uranus led french astronomer alexis bouvard to suggest that the gravitational pull from another celestial body might be responsible. german astronomer johann galle then relied on subsequent calculations to spot neptune via telescope. previously, astronomer galileo galilei sketched the planet, but he mistook it for a star due to its slow motion. in accordance with all the other planets seen in the sky, this new world was given a name from greek and roman mythology — neptune, the roman god of the sea.

Asheet of steel 1.5 mm thick has nitrogen atmospheres on both sides at 1200oc and is permitted to achieve a steady-state diffusion condition. the diffusion coefficient for nitrogen in steel at this temperature is 6 x 10- 11 m2 /s, and the diffusion flux is found to be 1.2 x 10-7 kg/m2 -s. also, it is known that the concentration of nitrogen in the steel at the high-pressure surface is 4 kg/m3 . how far into the sheet from this high-pressure side will the concentration be 2.0 kg/m3 ? assume a linear concentration profile.
