- An alien spaceship travels at v=0.999c-299482km/s (where 'c' is the speed of light equal to 299782 km/s) past the International Space Station (ISS) which orbits the Earth. According to NASA, the ISS is approximately 109m long when they finished building it. What length would the alien spaceship measure? Just under 5m. Just over 200m. The same length, 109m. Just under 100m.A neutron lives 900 s when at rest relative to an observer. How fast (as a fraction of the speed of light, c) is the neutron moving relative to an observer who measures its lifespan to be 2065 s? A. 0.938 c B. 0.965 c C. 0.982 c D. 0.910 c1. Consider inertial reference frame S to be the lab frame. A proton is moving in the positive x (+x) direction at a kinetic energy of 1250 MeV, as measured in frame S.
