Suppose a space vehicle with a rest mass of 150 000 kg travels past the International Space Station at a constant speed of 2.6 x 108 m/s with respect to the I. S.S. When an observer on the I. S.S. measures the moving vehicle, her measurement of the space vehicle length is 25.0 m. Determine the relativistic mass of the space vehicle. Determine the length of the space vehicle as measured by an astronaut on the space vehicle.

Large electric fields in cell membranes cause ions to move through the cell wall. the field strength in a typical membrane is 1.0 x 10 7 n/c. what is the magnitude of the force on a calcium ion with charge +e? what is its acceleration? is it possible for a particle with the same charge as as calcium to have a different acceleration if placed at this location? what would change the acceleration: mass of the particle? diameter of the particle?
