A newly constructed spaceship has a length of 100.0 m (as measured in the rest frame). This spaceship departs the Earth, bound for a distant planet located a distance D = 50.0 light-years away from the Earth. It travels at a constant speed of v = 0.900c. Part A) As measured by Mission Control on Earth, how long does the journey take? Enter the numerical value in units of years. Part B) According to an astronaut on the spaceship, how long does the journey take? Enter the numerical value in units of years. Part C) As measured by Mission Control on Earth, what is the spaceship's apparent length? Enter the numerical value in SI units

1. Some jets emitted by galaxies, for astronomical distances large enough, can appear to travel faster than the speed of light c, through our line of sight. Suppose that a distant galaxy, AB15, is moving with speed v at an angle e with respect to the earth and it emits two light rays separated by a time At in its local time. show that a) The time interval on earth in which the two light rays are emitted is given by Atr = At(1– B cos 0) b) The apparent speed of AB15 measured by an observer on earth is ArT VA = Att B sin e 1-B cos 0 %3D c) For B = 0.75, calculate the value of 0 for which Va =c
