Aspaceship travels at constant speed, v minutes after departure, according to the ship's clock, the pilot learns that a bomb has been placed on the ship. the bomb is programmed to explode 51 minutes after departure 17 c away from earth. sixteen (i) the pilot immediately escapes and returns to earth. the moment the escape pod leaves the ship the pilot sends a radio message to earth show that the distance of the ship from earth in earth's reference frame, when the pilot escapes, is 30 light minutes (where 1 light minute is the distance travelled by light in 1 minute, 1 lmin cx 1 min) calculate how many minutes after departure the message is received on earth (ii the escape pod blasts off from the ship with speed, p 2c wi respect to the ship and towards earth. unbeknown to the pilot, the bomb is actually in the escape pod show that the speed of the escape pod with respect to earth is up = 5c show that the distance of the escape pod from earth, in earth's reference frame, when the pod explodes, is light minutes calculate how many minutes after departure earth sees the explosion (ii) draw a spacetime diagram in earth's reference frame, depicting the world- lines of the ship, the escape pod, the pilot's signal and the light from the explosion (iv) months later, the pilot's wrist-watch is recovered, which stopped at the moment of the explosion. the watch was set to 00: 00 at departure. state what was shown on the display

Atwo-stage air compressor operates at steady state, compression 10m^3/min of air from 100 kpa and 300k to 1200 kpa. an intercooler between the two stages cools the air to 300k at a constant pressure of 350 kpa. the compression processes are isentropic. a) calculate the power required to run the compressor, in kw b) compare the result to the power required for isentropic compression from the same inlet state to the same final pressure.

Which of the following correctly describes what happens when an atomic bomb explodes? small pieces of fissionable material are joined and form a body with a mass greater than the critical mass, the relative number of neutrons escaping decreases, and a chain reaction and explosion result. large pieces of fissionable matter are brought together quickly and form a body with a mass smaller than the critical mass, the relative number of escaping neutrons increases, and a chain reaction and explosion result.
