- The starship Enterprise approaches the Klingon home world with speed 0.6c relative to the planet. To announce its arrival, the Enterprise sends a message in a projectile that travels toward the planet with speed 0.4c relative to the Enterprise. At what speed does Klingon at the surface of the planet see the projectile approach? Using relativistic velocity equation.Two rockets, A and B, approach the earth from opposite directions at speed 0.800c. The length of each rocket measured in its rest frame is 100 m. What is the length of rocket A as measured by the crew of rocket B?Spaceships A and B move in opposite directions at the same speed of 0.907c relative to earth, with A moving away from earth and B moving toward earth. Find the velocity of B relative to A.
- A particle known as a pion lives for a short time before breaking apart into other particles. Suppose a pion is moving at a speed of 0.988c, and an observer who is stationary in a laboratory measures the pion's lifetime to be 3.3 x 10-8 s. (a) What is the lifetime according to a hypothetical person who is riding along with the pion? (b) According to this hypothetical person, how far does the laboratory move before the pion breaks apart? (a) Number (b) Number i Units Units # +A spaceship whose rest length is 283 m has a speed of 0.87c with respect to a certain reference frame. A micrometeorite, also with a speed of 0.87c in this frame, passes the spaceship on an antiparallel track. How long does it take this object to pass the spaceship as measured on the ship? Number UnitsA spaceship travels from Mercury to Mars at a speed of 0.81c relative to the Earth. Assume Earth, Mars and Mercury don’t move relative to each other. The time of the trip as measured by an Earth observer is 700 seconds. What is the time of the trip as measured by a passenger on the spaceship? What is the distance between Mercury and Mars as measured by a passenger on the spaceship?
- How far from the earth would you be able to travel in a lifetime of 76 years if you were able to travel at a constant speed of 0.70c?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?A particle is traveling through the Earth’s atmosphere at a speed of 0.119c . To an Earth-bound observer, the distance it travels is 2.50 km. How far does the particle travel in the particle’s frame of reference?
