question 50

Multiple Choice

A space barge pushes on a spaceship with a rest mass of $15,000 \mathrm {~kg}$ and accelerates it from a speed of $0.600 c$ to a speed of $0.700 \mathrm { c }$ . How much work does the barge have to do to accomplish this? $( c =$ $3.00 \times 10 ^ { 8 } \mathrm {~m} / \mathrm { s }$ )

• A) \(1.35 \times 10 ^ { 20 } \mathrm {~J}\)
• B) \(8.78 \times 10 ^ { 19 } \mathrm {~J}\)
• C) \(5.42 \times 10 ^ { 20 } \mathrm {~J}\)
• D) \(2.70 \times 10 ^ { 20 } \mathrm {~J}\)
• E) \(2.03 \times 10^{20} \mathrm {~J}\)
