Current Attempt in Progress
A spaceship whose rest length is 432 m has a speed of 0.85c with respect to a certain reference frame. A micrometeorite, also with a
speed of 0.85c 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?
