A super rocket car traverses a straight track 2.30×105 m long in 1.00×10−3 s as measured by an observer next to the track. How much time delta t(clock) elapses on a clock in the rocket car during the run? delta t(clock) = ?s What is the distance L(driver) traveled in traversing the track as determined by the driver of the rocket car? L(driver) = ?m
A spacecraft flies past the earth in the direction toward the moon, a distance of 3.84 * 10^5 km. As measured by your clock on the earth, it takes 6.00 s for the clock on the spacecraft to tick off 2.00 s. You measure the length of the spacecraft in the direction of its motion to be 24.0 m. As measured by an astronaut at rest on the spacecraft, what are (a) the distance from the earth to the moon and (b) the length of the spacecraft?
A UFO is observed directly above the earth moving at a constant velocity. An astronaut on the moon (3.8 x 108m from earth) observes the UFO passing overhead 5.8 s later. From the UFO's reference frame, how long did it take to travel from the earth to the moon?
