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.

m = 300668.9 kg

L₀ = 12.47 m

Explanation:

The relativistic mass of the space vehicle is given by the following formula:

where,

m = relativistic mass = ?

m₀ = rest mass = 150000 kg

v = relative speed = 2.6 x 10⁸ m/s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore

m = 300668.9 kg

Now, for rest length of vehicle:

L = L₀√(1 - v²/c²)

where,

L = Relative Length of Vehicle = 25 m

L₀ = Rest Length of Vehicle = ?

Therefore,

25 m = L₀√[1 - (2.6 x 10⁸ m/s)²/(3 x 10⁸ m/s)²]

L₀ = (25 m)(0.499)

L₀ = 12.47 m

true

explanation:

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.
