Three enemy spacecraft have been causing trouble in the asteroid belt. they always travel in a line, evenly spaced apart, attempting to chase down local spacecraft to steal their goods. the local asteroid colonists have decided to set a trap to capture these three spacecraft. they'll get them to chase one of their fastest ships into an asteroid with a large hole in it and, once the three enemy ships are inside, close two giant trapdoors on each side of the asteroid to catch them. these spacecraft all travel close to the speed of light so the locals will have to take relativity into account. intelligence about the enemy spacecraft reveals that, in their reference frame, they always travel 90 m behind their teammate, each spacecraft is 10 m in length, and their maximum velocity is 90% the speed of light (relative to the asteroids). the asteroid tunnel is only 215 m in length. in this problem we will analyze whether the locals will be able to capture the enemy spacecraft after taking into account relativity.
now the locals can see that, taking into account relativity, the enemy spacecraft will be in a line that is only 91.5 m long when they're traveling at 90% the speed of light relative to the asteroid. for how long a time period will all three spacecraft be inside of the asteroid? express your answer in microseconds to two significant figures.

An astronaut in space cannot use a scale or balance to weigh objects because there is no gravity. but she does have devices to measure distance and time accurately. she knows her own mass is 77.4 kg , but she is unsure of the mass of a large gas canister in the airless rocket. when this canister is approaching her at 3.50 m/s , she pushes against it, which slows it down to 1.30 m/s (but does not reverse it) and gives her a speed of 2.60 m/s . what is the mass of the canister?

Air conditioners not only cool air, but dry it as well. suppose that a room in a home measures 5.0m×9.0m×2.4m . if the outdoor temperature is 30 ∘c and the vapor pressure of water in the air is 85 % of the vapor pressure of water at this temperature, what mass of water must be removed from the air each time the volume of air in the room is cycled through the air conditioner? the vapor pressure for water at 30 ∘c is 31.8 torr.
