Two spaceships a and 8 are moving in opposite directions. each measures the speed of the other to be (3js)e. they pass alongside each other and each sets its clocks to zero at that instant. ship a receives a light-message at time t = 320 hours on its clocks that there has been an explosion in 8 that destroyed 8's oxygen generating plants and also left them unable to alter their velocity. the occupants of8 know that they have only enough oxygen to survive 1000 hours (on 8 's clocks). ship a, immediately upon receiving the message, sends rescue ship c to b. the velocity ofc, as measured by a, is (4js)e. assume that 8 sent the message simultaneously with the explosion and that c was dispatched simultaneously with the receipt of the message by a. (a) how long must the crew of8 wait for rescue, according to a, from the time of the explosion to the time that c arrives? (b) how long is this time interval according to the clocks of 8? were they rescued or not? hint: start by drawing a sequence of four pictures in a's rest frame, each picture representing an important event in the story.

When a vertical beam of light passes through a transparent medium, the rate at which its intensity i decreases is proportional to i(t), where t represents the thickness of the medium (in feet). in clear seawater, the intensity 3 feet below the surface is 25% of the initial intensity i0 of the incident beam. what is the intensity of the beam "10" feet below the surface? (give your answer in terms of i0. round any constants or coefficients to five decimal places.)
