    How Does Firing a Photon Torpedo Affect the Speed of a Star-Wars Satellite?

    This feels like the typical momentum problem involving light, but using sci-fi scale numbers. In these cases, there are a few things to take into consideration: -conservation of momentum -conservation of energy As for the relevant equations, there may have been some confusion on what K_m_a_x =...

    Conveting Mass Into Energy Problem

    It might have just been a question put into make you think about the possible consequences. But there's a slight miscalculation - you're off by one decimal place: ~1,111 Kg. Whats so special about this? Dividing by 365 to get the daily rate, you arrive at the conclusion that to support the...

    Relativity : Lorentz Transformation.

    Your answer corresponds with mine. And for the two equations: The second equation listed at the end, involving U': you have two inertial frames, let's say S, and S'. The S' frame is moving at a speed V(observers on spaceship), while frame S is motionless (observers on Earth). lets add your...
