The fifth brightest star in the night sky

Reference no: EM13663421

Astronaut Benny travels to Vega, the fifth brightest star in the night sky, leaving his 35.0-year-old twin sister Jenny behind on Earth. Benny travels with a speed of 0.9994 c, and Vega is 25.3 light-years from Earth. How much does Benny age when he arrives at Vega?

Second dark bands in the interference pattern : A pair of narrow, parallel slits separated by 0.240 mm is illuminated by the green component from a mercury vapor lamp (λ = 546.1 nm). The interference pattern is observed on a screen 1.24 m from the plane of the parallel slits.

What is the relative speed among the two rockets : A person on earth notices a rocket approaching from the right at a speed of 0.82c and another rocket approaching from the left at 0.63 c. What is the relative speed among the two rockets, as measured by a passenger on one of them?

What is angular acceleration of rod at instant it released : A thin uniform rod (length 1.2 meter, mass = 2.0 kg) is pivoted regarding a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end of the rod.
