A deep space vehicle is moving away from the earth at a speed of 0.8c. An astronaut in the vehicle takes a 3 s time interval to rotate his body through 1 revolution while floating in the vehicle. What time interval is required for this spin according to an observer on Earth?
Please read the following problem, then solve it taking into account the next modification: give any numeric value you want to the time interval required for this rotation according to the observer on Earth and leave the interval measured by the astronaut as unknown (that is what needs to be calculated). Change the numerical value of the vehicle's speed.
