You have a small 100,000 kg spaceship with a matter-antimatter power plant. What total mass of fuel would be needed to accelerate the spaceship to 10% the speed of light?
Added by Jose Ramon M.
Step 1
The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is given by the equation KE = 1/2 mv^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity. To calculate the energy required to accelerate the spaceship to 10% the speed of light, we need to use the relativistic formula Show more…

The starship Enter prise on the television program Star Trek was powered by a matter-antimatter reactor. Suppose you have a 25,000 -metric-ton starship and wish to accelerate it to $0.01 c$. What is the total mass of matter and antimatter required, assuming a $100 \%$ efficient engine?
Suppose we have a spaceship about the size of a typical ocean cruise ship today, which means it has a mass of about 150 million kilograms, and we want to accelerate the ship to a speed of 10 % of the speed of light. Suppose you want to generate the energy to get it to cruising speed using matter-antimatter annihilation. Part A How much antimatter would you need to produce and take on the ship? Express your answer using two significant figures.

The fictional starship Enterprise obtains its power by combining matter and antimatter, achieving complete conversion of mass into energy. If the mass of the Enterprise is approximately $6 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{kg}$ , how much mass must be converted into kinetic energy to accelerate it from rest to one-tenth the speed of light?
