- The Starship Enterprise, according some Trekkie analysts, is 300 meters long. If it is traveling at 0.985c. what would be the value of L, its length as seen from Earth?A 1 km spacecraft is racing towards the Sun at 0.75c. Using equations given in class, calculate the spacecraft length you measure from Earth. Treat Earth as not moving compared to the spacecraft's motion of 0.75 c.A rocket launched outward from Earth has a speed of 0.38c relative to the Earth. The rocket is directed toward an incoming meteor that may hit the planet. If the meteor moves with a speed of 0.70c relative to the rocket and directly toward it, what is the speed of the meteor as observed from Earth?
- A spaceship travels at 0.698c 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 0.942c relative to Earth?? cTwo spaceships are moving along the line connecting them. One of the spaceships shoots a missile towards the other. The missile leaves the attacking spaceship at 0.955c and approaches the other at 0.755c. What is the relative velocity of the two spaceships? Express it as a ratio to the speed of light. Let the relative velocity of the spaceships be positive if they are approaching each other and negative if they are moving apart from one another.The distance from earth to the center of our galaxy is about 33,000 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.
