There is a spaceship that moves past us with a speed of (3/5)c and it has a rest length of 1000 m. Two clocks on the ship's nose and tail have been synchronized with each other in the ship's frame of reference. (On the ground, we have many clocks that are synchronized with each other in our frame.) When the nose of the spaceship reaches us, both our clock as well as the clock in the ship's nose read t = 0. At this time (t = 0 to us), what will the clock in the ship's tail read and in what time will the tail reach us?
In frame S, event B occurs 2 ms after event A and at Dx = 1.5 km from event A. (a) How fast must an observer be moving along the +x axis so that events A and B occur simultaneously? (b) Is it possible for event B to precede event A for some observer?(c) Draw a spacetime diagram that illustrates your answers to (a) and (b). (d) Compute the spacetime interval and proper distance between the events.
The proper length of one spaceship is three times that of another. The two spaceships are traveling in the same direction and, while both are passing overhead, an Earth observer measures the two spaceships to have the same length. If the slower spaceship has a speed of 0.354c with respect to Earth, determine the speed of the faster spaceship. (Give your answer to at least 3 significant figures.) |c
A spaceship departs from a space station and achieves a constant speed of 0.80cwith respect to thes tation, moving directly away from it. The spaceship fires a torpedo forward (in the same direction). The torpedo’s speed with respect to the spaceship is 0.40c. How fast is the torpedo moving with respect to the station?
An observer measures a spacecraft’s length to be exactly half of its rest length. a) What is the speed of the ship relative to the observer’s frame of reference? b) By what factor do the spaceship’s clocks run slow relative to clocks in the observer’s frame?
Earth and a star are 20 light years (ly) apart, measured in a frame at rest with respect to Earth and star. Twin A boards a spaceship, travels at 0.80c to the star, and then returns immediately to Earth at 0.80c. Determine the round-trip travel times in Earth and ship refer- ence frames.
2.2. A rod of mass m= 1 kg flies with constant velocity past a mark which is stationary in the K frame. In the K frame, it takes the rod At= 20 ns to fly pass the mark, In the K' frame fixed to the rod, the mark moves past the rod in At' = 25 ns. (a) What is the velocity of the rod in the K frame? (b) What is the proper length of the rod? (c) What is the kinetic energy of the rod in the K frame in units of its total energy? (d) What is momentum of the rod in the K frame?
At relativistic speeds near that of light, the half-life of an unstable particle moving at high speed is longer than when it is at rest. an object is longer when moving than when it is stationary. O light emitted by a moving source moves at the same speed with the same frequency. effects precede causes in some inertial frames. lengths and times only appear different and have no effect on other measurable quantities.

(B) The space-ship reaches a planet called Theia in 9.2 days according to the time measured by the space-dock personal. What is this time interval as measured by the ship's captain? (C) Space-ship crew were playing a game on board which took them 65 min to finish one round. How long did the crew memebers take to complete one round of the game as measured by the space-dock personal?
A rocket measures 100 m long in its own frame (S') and is travelling at 0.995c relative to a frame S. At the tail of the rocket, a laser sends out a pulse of light which is reflected by a mirror at the nose of the rocket. (a) At what time after emission, measured in S', does the light pulse arrive back at the tail of the rocket? (b) At what time after emission, measured in S, does the light pulse arrive back at the tail of the rocket? (c) What is the spatial distance, measured in S, between the emis- sion of the pulse and its arrival back at the tail of the rocket? (d) At what time after emission, measured in S, does the light pulse hit the mirror? (e) What is the spatial distance, measured in S, between the emis- sion of the pulse and its hitting the mirror? (f) Can you conclude from your answers that the light pulse travelled at a different speed, as seen in S, on its way to the mirror than on the way back? If not, explain your results

If possible please do this on a computer. Thank you A spaceship passes you at a speed of 0.90c. You find the length of the ship in your frame of reference to be 50.0 m. A few months later, the ship docks, and you measure its length with a tape measure. What length does the tape measure show?
