A spaceship goes past a planet at a speed of 0.80c relative to the planet. An observer on the planet measures the length of the moving spaceship to be 40.0 m. The observer also finds that the planet has a diameter of 2.0 X 106 m. The astronaut in the spaceship determines the length of the ship. What is this length? The astronaut, while not in a position to actually measure the diameter of the planet, does succeed in computing a diameter indirectly. What is the resulting value?
How far from the earth would you be able to travel in a lifetime of 74 years if you were able to travel at a constant speed of 0.82c?
An alien spaceship travels at v=0.999c-299482km/s (where 'c' is the speed of light equal to 299782 km/s) past the International Space Station (ISS) which orbits the Earth. According to NASA, the ISS is approximately 109m long when they finished building it. What length would the alien spaceship measure? Just under 5m. Just over 200m. The same length, 109m. Just under 100m.
Two rocket ships approach Earth from opposite directions, each with a speed of 0.85c relative to Earth. What is the speed of one ship relative to the other?
How far from the earth would you be able to travel in a lifetime of 75 years if you were able to travel at a constant speed of 0.62c?
As observed on earth, a certain type of bacteria is known to double in number every 24 hours. Two cultures of these bacteria are prepared, each consisting initially of one bacterium. One culture is left on earth and the other placed on a rocket that travels at a speed of 0.978c relative to the earth. At a time when the earthbound culture has grown to 512 bacteria, how many bacteria are in the culture on the rocket, according to an earth-based observer?
Many expressions in special relativity contain the gamma (y) factor. 1 Y √1-v²/c² In the equation, u is the speed of some object or reference frame and c is the speed of light. Find the numerical value of y for each of the listed speeds. U = 0, 1 Y = V = 0.450c, Y = V = 0.980c, Y = 5.03
A spaceship travels at 0.818c relative to Earth. If the spaceship fires a small rocket in the forward direction, how fast (relative to the ship) must it be fired for it to travel at 0.870c relative to Earth?
As the drawing shows, a carpenter on a space station has constructed a 30.0° ramp. A rocket moves past the space station with a relative speed of 0.535c in a direction parallel to side x. What does a person aboard the rocket measure for the angle of the ramp? Number i Units 30.0°
Electromagnetic radiation from a star is observed with an earth-based telescope. The star is moving away from the earth with a speed of 0.580c. If the radiation has a frequency of 8.64 x 1014 Hz in the rest frame of the star, what is the frequency measured by an observer on earth?
