A space probe is being prepared for a deep-space mission. The engineers have divided the trip into five segments based on the required changes in motion, as noted in the table. During which parts of the trip must the engineers apply the principles of general relativity? (Note that the velocities are listed as a percentage of the speed of light, c. The direction is positive when moving away from Earth and negative when moving toward Earth.)

Planned Space Probe Mission
Trip segment Initial velocity (% c) Final velocity (% c)
A 0 +90
B +90 +90
C +90 -90
D -90 -90
E -90 0

A. Apply general relativity during segment B.

B. Apply general relativity during segment C.

C. Apply special relativity during segment A

D. Apply special relativity during segment E

On a frictionless air track, a blue glider with mass 0.200 kg is moving to the right with a speed of 8.00 m/s. it strikes a red glider that has mass 0.600 kg and that is initially at rest. after the collision, the blue glider is moving to the left with a speed of 3.00 m/s.(a) what are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the red glider after the collision? (b) is this collision elastic?

Atypical jetliner lands at a speed of 146 mi/h and decelerates at the rate of (10.4 mi/h)/s. if the jetliner travels at a constant speed of 146 mi/h for 1.5 s after landing before applying the brakes, what is the total displacement of the jetliner between touchdown on the runway and coming to rest?
