Part a scientists estimate the probability of finding a habitable planet around the star alpha centauri a at roughly 85 %. your twin joanne is an adventurous astronaut, and decides to take a trip there to find out for sure. for the purposes of this question, we will assume that she travels at a constant speed until she arrives. she measures that the trip takes her a time ti, and determines the distance di that she travels using di ut,. you measure that the journey takes a time to, and that joanne travels a distance of d2 4.37 light years. d t (a) describe the two events that are associated with the distance and time measurements. (b) who measures the proper time between the events? who measures the shortest time? explain your answer. y b od nlo o d al (d) o (c) who measures the proper distance between the earth and alpha centauri a? who mea- sures the shortest distance? explain vour answer. d in (d) on arriving at alpha centauri a, joanne discovers that unfortunately all the rocky plan- ets are frozen-they are all beyond the "goldilocks" zone. disappointed, she immedi- ately returns to earth at the same speed v, and has a joyous reunion with her friends and ofamily. if v = 0.9c, what is the age difference between you and joanne on her return? make sure you specify who is older. m 08.0- lo d d d atd tailov noolo to stino a nolo od lo part b (advanced) (a) consider again the scenario of part a. halfway through her return journey, joanne decides to send you a written note outlining the details of the reunion party she wants to be organised for her arrival. she puts the message in a container, and shoots it towards earth at a speed relative to her of 0.5c. after you receive the message, how many days do you have to organise the party? (b) consider again the scenario of part a, but instead imagine that joanne travels at a different speed different in age from you when she returns? if your answer is yes, calculate the speed u if your answer is no, explain why not. u. is it possible for joanne to complete the same journey, but be 12 years

On a cold day, when the air temperature is 0°c, you empty your lungs and take a deep breath, filling your lungs with 4.2 l of air. if you hold your breath until the temperature of the air in your lungs reaches 37°c, what is the volume of the air in your lungs at that point, assuming the pressure does not change?

Suppose that two tanks, 1 and 2, each with a large opening at the top, contain different liquids. a small hole is made in the side of each tank at the same depth 1.57 m below the liquid surface, but the hole in tank 2 has 2.49 times the cross-sectional area of the hole in tank 1. (a) what is the ratio ρ1/ρ2 of the densities of the liquids if the mass flow rate is the same for the two holes? (b) what is the ratio rv1/rv2 of the volume flow rates from the two tanks? (c) at one instant, the liquid in tank 1 is 14.9 cm above the hole. if the tanks are to have equal volume flow rates, what height above the hole must the liquid in tank 2 be just then?

Along the line connecting the two charges, at what distance from the charge q1 is the total electric field from the two charges zero? express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables s, q1, q2 and k =14ï€ïµ0. if your answer is difficult to enter, consider simplifying it, as it can be made relatively simple with some work.

Suppose a wheel with a tire mounted on it is rotating at the constant rate of 2.15 times a second. a tack is stuck in the tire at a distance of 0.373 m from the rotation axis. noting that for every rotation the tack travels one circumference (a) find the tack's tangential speed. (b) what is the tacks radial acceleration?
