A nuclear explosion on Earth generates an electromagnetic pulse that travels away from the Earth. A long distance from Earth, scientists on an alien planet named Tutheleftaya, a distance LL from the Earth, detect the pulse. Since the pulse travels at the speed of light, they detect it at time t=L/ct=L/c after the pulse was created on Earth. Another group of scientists on another alien planet, named Offtatheright, which is also a distance LL away from the Earth, but in the opposite direction, also detect the pulse. Since they are the same distance from the Earth, they detect it at the same time as the scientists on Tutheleftaya. In the reference frame of someone traveling on a spaceship going from the Earth to Tutheleftaya, and about halfway there when the explosion happens, which group of scientists detects the pulse first?

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?
