Concept explainers
Suppose that a space probe can withstand the stresses of a 20g acceleration. (a) What is the minimum turning radius of such a craft moving at a speed of one-tenth the speed of light ? (b) How long would it take to complete a 90° turn at this speed?
Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.
