As you pilot your space utility vehicle at a constant speedtoward the moon, a race pilot flies past you in her spaceracer at aconstant speed of 0.800c relative to you. At the instant the spaceracerpasses you, both of you start timers at zero. (a) At the instant when youmeasure that the spaceracer has traveled 1.20 * 10^8 m past you, whatdoes the race pilot read on her timer? (b) When the race pilot reads thevalue calculated in part (a) on her timer, what does she measure to beyour distance from her? (c) At the instant when the race pilot reads thevalue calculated in part (a) on her timer, what do you read on yours?

(a) A person's "resting" heart rate is his or her normal heart rate measured while sitting still (and long after doing anything physically exerting). A nurse on Earth measures the resting heart rate of a patient as 62.0 beats/min. Imagine the patient travels aboard a spacecraft moving with a constant speed of 0.89c with respect to the Earth. What would be the patient's resting heart rate (in beats/min) as measured by someone else aboard the spacecraft? beats/min (b) Imagine an observer on Earth could measure the resting heart rate of the patient traveling aboard the spacecraft. What rate (in beats/min) would the observer on Earth measure? beats/min
A spaceship departs from a space station and achieves a constant speed of 0.80cwith respect to thes tation, moving directly away from it. The spaceship fires a torpedo forward (in the same direction). The torpedo’s speed with respect to the spaceship is 0.40c. How fast is the torpedo moving with respect to the station?
Two students, Nora and Allison, are both the same age when Allison hops aboard a flying saucer and blasts off to achieve a cruising speed of 0.790c for a 17.5 year round trip (according to Allison). Neglecting the brief time periods required for the acceleration of the ship during blastoff and turnarounds, find the difference in age between Nora and Allison when they are reunited, difference in age: years Who is older? Allison They are still the same age. need more information Nora
