An astronaut wishes to visit the Andromeda galaxy, making a one-way trip that will take 31.7 years in the space-ship's frame of reference. Assume the galaxy is 2.00 million light years away and his speed is constant.
Required:
a. How fast must he travel relative to Earth?
b. What will be the kinetic energy of his spacecraft, which has a mass of 1.00 x 10^6 kg?
c. What is teh cost of this energy if it is purchased at a typical consumer price for electric energy, 13.0 cents per kWh?

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?

Two identical stars with mass m orbit around their center of mass. each orbit is circular and has radius r, so that the two stars are always on opposite sides of the circle. (a) find the gravitational force of one star on the other. (b) find the orbital speed of each star and the period of the orbit. (c) how much energy would be required to separate the two stars to infinity?
