- The star 61 Cygni A is 11.4 light-years from Earth. Imagine a spaceship that travels from Earth to 61 Cygni A at a constant speed of 0.921c. On Earth, we would measure the time it takes for the ship to reach the star to be 11.4 ly 0.921c = 12.4 years. (a) How much time (in years) would it take the ship to travel from the Earth to the star as measured by a traveler aboard the ship? years (b) What is the distance to the star (in light years) as measured by a traveler aboard the ship? lyThe identical twins Speedo and Goslo join a migration from the Earth to Planet X, which is 20.0 light-years away in a reference frame in which both planets are at rest. The twins, of the same age, depart at the same time on different spacecraft. Speedo's craft travels steadily at 0.905c, Goslo's at 0.680c. Calculate the age difference between the twins after Goslo's spacecraft lands on Planet X. Which twin is the older? Goslo is older by years.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.

When he returns, how much time will have elapsed on Earth during his absence?
- A newly constructed spaceship has a length of 100.0 m (as measured in the rest frame). This spaceship departs the Earth, bound for a distant planet located a distance D = 50.0 light-years away from the Earth. It travels at a constant speed of v = 0.900c. Part A) As measured by Mission Control on Earth, how long does the journey take? Enter the numerical value in units of years. Part B) According to an astronaut on the spaceship, how long does the journey take? Enter the numerical value in units of years. Part C) As measured by Mission Control on Earth, what is the spaceship's apparent length? Enter the numerical value in SI unitsThe radius of Earth is 6370 km in the Earth reference frame.
