An interstellar space probe is launched from Earth. After abriefperiod of acceleration it moves with a constantvelocity, 72.0%of the speed of light. Its nuclear-poweredbatteries supply theenergy to keep its data transmitter activecontinuously. Thebatteries have a lifetime of 15.9 years as measured in a restframe.

(a) How long do the batteries on the space probe last as measuredbymission control on Earth?
yr
(b) How far is the probe from Earth when its batteries fail,asmeasured by mission control?
ly
(c) How far is the probe from Earth, as measured by itsbuilt-intrip odometer; when its batteries fail?
ly
(d) For what total time after launch is data received from theprobeby mission control? Note that radio waves travel at the speedoflight and fill the space between the probe and Earth at the timethebattery fails.

A spacecraft is placed into a polar orbit about the planet Mars at an altitude of 380 km. Knowing that the mean density of Mars is 3.94 Mg/m^3 and that the radius of Mars is 3397 km, determine the time t required for the spacecraft to complete one full revolution about Mars and the velocity with which the the spacecraft describes its orbit.

<p>The density of the atmosphere of Mars is 0.0154kg / m<sup>3</sup>. Planning a mission to explore the<br />surface of Mars using balloons suspended just above the surface. If the balloons are made<br />of a thin material with mass per unit area of 5g / m<sup>2</sup> and are inflated with a very light gas of negligible mass, determine:<br /><br />a)The diameter of the balloons so that they could hold in the air just above the Martian surface.<br /><br />b)If the diameter of these balloons were three times the diameter of part a, determine how much mass of<br />instruments could be carried.</p>
