- 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.Your 1000-m-long starship has warning lights at each end that, to you, flash simultaneously every minute. You are moving directly away from the planet Zerkon at 0.70c. To a Zerkonian, do the lights flash simultaneously? If not, which flashes first— the light at the front of your ship or the trailing one?The distance from earth to the center of our galaxy is about 24,000 ly (1 ly = 1 light year = 9.47 x 1015 m), as measured by an earth- based observer. A spaceship is to make this journey at a speed of 0.9990c. According to a clock on board the spaceship, how long will it take to make the trip? Express your answer in years. (1 yr is equal to 3.16 x 107 s.) Number Units
- 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 sSuppose that you are traveling onboard a spacecraft that is moving with respect to the earth at a speed of 0.975c. You are breathing at a rate of 8.0 breaths per minute. As monitored on earth, what is your breathing rate?
