Determine the speed a projectile must reach in order to become an Earth satellite. What assumptions did you make?

If a clock aboard a space ship traveling at 0.900 c of the speed of light relative to earth chimes once at the beginning of the hour and again when it reads one hour later, how much time would an observer on earth say elapsed between the two chimes?

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.

An open cart is moving along a straight frictionless horizontal track. when rain starts falling vertically into the cart, what happens to the speed of the cart?
