A rocket shippasses extremely close to the earth with a speed of 0.900c.Observers on the ship and on earth agree that it is 1pm. At 1:33pm, as indicated on a rocket shipclock, the ship passes a small space station which is fixed relative to the earth and whose clocks read earth time.a.What time is it on the space station clocks when the ship passes?b.How far from earth is the space station?

▾ Part A A space cowboy wants to eject from his spacecraft 1.30×105 km after passing a space buoy, as seen by spectators at rest with respect to the buoy. To do this, the cowboy sets a timer on his craft that will start as he passes the buoy. He plans to cruise by the buoy at 0.278 c. How much time should he allow between passing the buoy and ejecting? 1.50 s 1.70 s 1.30 s 1.60 s ○ 1.55 s Submit Request Answer
1. If a subatomic particle moves close to the speed of light. Its decay would occur ___? 2. A space explorer travels between asteroids that are 100 000 m apart. His/her space probe travels with constant speed of 0.8c=2.4x108 m/s. What is the time of the trip between asteroids measured by observer on one of the asteroids? Write your answer rounded to 2 decimal places in ms
In 2010, a 20-year-old astronaut leaves her twin on earth and goes on a rocket to explore the galaxy. The rocket moves at 2.9 x 108 m/s during the voyage. It returns to earth in the year 2040. a. Using relativity, calculate the age of the returning astronaut. b. Find the length of the rocket in the earth’s frame of reference when it is moving, given that the rest length is 120 m. Assume you are a stationary observer viewing the rocket from the side.
* 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)
A spaceship carrying a light clock moves at a speed of 0.6c relative to an observer on Earth. If the clock on the ship advances by 1.00 s as measured by the space travelers aboard the ship, how long did that advance take as measured by the observer on Earth? O 1.15 s O 1.25 s O 3.6 s O 2.6 s O 0.96 s
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
Two rockets moving towards each other. Rocket A moving to the right with speed 0.80c while rocket B moving to the left with speed 0.60c. The length of the two rockets are the same, that are 50m as measured by the earth observer. i) What is the lengths of the two rockets as measured by the astronouts in their rockets? ii) What is the velocity of the rocket relative to each other? iii) If the earth observer measured the initial distance of the two rockets to be 2.52 x 1012 m apart, what are distance of the two rockets observed by observer in the rockets? iv) How long before they collide, observed by the observer in the rockets? v) If both rockets could evacuate within 90 min (their own time), will they survive?
