Byprearrangement,when the clock onEarth reaches areading of 1.00×104 S,the Earth stationsends out a lightsignal to thespaceship.According to an Earth observer,what is the reading of the clock onEarth when the signal is received?

To solve this problem, we'll use the principles of special relativity, specifically time dilation.…

* Sophie and Frieda are twins. They plan a trip to planet X which is 54 light years from Earth. They both leave Earth on their 30th birthday, but on different spacecraft. Sophie takes a spacecraft that travels at .99c, and Frieda takes a spacecraft that travels at .95c. As soon as Frieda arrives she is met at the terminal by Sophie (who was waiting there for her since she had arrived!). What are each of their biological ages (to the nearest 0.1 year) at this meeting? Earth and planet X are in the same (stationary) frame of reference here. A light year is 9.47x1015 m (but using meters will be awkward here)
