Assume a rocket ship traveling in deep space accelerates with constant acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 to give the illusion of normal gravity on the ship during flight.
A) If the ship starts from rest, obtain how long it will take to acquire a speed that is 12 percent the speed of light. Light travels at 3.00 × 108 m/s.
B) Find how far will the ship travel to acquire this speed?
