Question
Chapter 21, Problem 7CC
To determine
Whether the radio waves emitted from the clock near the planet have the same wavelength as the radio waves emitted from the clock far away from the planet. Given that two identical clocks, which are initially far away from strong gravity sources, are synchronized far out in space. After this, one clock is placed near a massive planet and the time measured by the other clock is 1 hour.

A star has an element in its atmosphere that normally emits a line of frequency fs = 7.5 x 10^14 vib/s. If astronomers measure the frequency of this line to be fo = 7.7 x 10^14 vib/s, then how fast are the Earth and this star traveling relative to each other? Remember that the correct equation for the speed v is given by v = [(fo^2 - fs^2) / (fo^2 + fs^2)] c Remember fo^2 means "fo squared."

- In fact, the conversion of mass to energy in the Sun is not 100% efficient. As we have seen in the text, the conversion of four hydrogen atoms to one helium atom results in the conversion of about 0.02862 times the mass of a proton to energy. How much energy in joules does one such reaction produce? (See Appendix E for the mass of the hydrogen atom, which, for all practical purposes, is the mass of a proton.)arrow_forwardAn alien spaceship, passing through our solar system, observes us by reflected sunlight from earth’s surface. We know the escape velocity from earth’s surface is vesc = √(2GME/RE). Suppose we can (magically) compress earth radius to a very small size RS so that the escape velocity equals the speed of light c. In that case, nothing, not even light, can escape earth’s gravity and the alien spaceship will observe us as a “dark black hole”! What would be the value of RS?

- In the context of relativity, what is an "event"? Give a specific example of an event and provide the coordinates necessary to specify the event.arrow_forwardA black hole is a blackbody if ever there was one, so it should emit blackbody radiation, called Hawking radiation. A black hole of mass M has a total energy of MC2, a surface area of 16πG2M2 / c4 and a temperature of hc3 /16π2kGM. Imagine a black hole in empty space, where it emits radiation but absorbs nothing. As it loses energy, its mass must decrease; one could say it "evaporates." Derive a differential equation for the mass as a function of time, and solve this equation to obtain an expression for the lifetime of a black hole in terms of its initial mass.arrow_forwardAn alien spaceship, passing through our solar system, observes us by reflected sunlight from earth’s surface.

- X and Y were born on the same year on planet LOL (event O). On their 60th birthday, X discovered a star explosion that is 70 light years away from LOL (event X). Similarly, on their 70th birthday, Y discovered a different star explosion that is 80 light years away from LOL (event Y).

To attack this question, assume that the theory of dark energy is in error and that the recessional speed v of a galaxy a distance r from us is determined only by the gravitational interaction of the matter that lies inside a sphere of radius r centered on us. If the total mass inside this sphere is M, the escape speed v, from the sphere is v. = V2GMIT (Eq. 13-28). (a) Show that to prevent unlimited expansion, the aver- age density p inside the sphere must be at least equal to ЗН 87G (b) Evaluate this "critical density" numerically; express your an- swer in terms of hydrogen atoms per cubic meter. Measurements of the actual density are difficult and are complicated by the pres- ence of dark matter.arrow_forwardProvide the correct answer in second. Previously got so many wrong answers.

O Europa had many icy comets crash into the surface bring water to the moon and melting the water as it fell into the core. O Furopa formed with an unusual amount of liquid water in the core and the coldness of space wasn't able to freeze it. O upiter's strong gravitational force is causing Europa to flex in its orbit, leading to an increase in internal heating. O Europa's close proximity to Jupiter puts it into a gravitational tug-of-war with Jupiter's targest moon Ganymede. Question 10 How was Neptune discovered?
