Frame of reference

In physics, a frame of reference is a coordinate system used to specify either the position or the orientation or velocity of a body. The origin of the coordinate acts as a reference point for measuring the position or relative motion of a body. The coordinate system can be a cartesian coordinate, cylindrical coordinate, or a polar coordinate.

Question

Practice Problem 25-8 A spaceship of proper length 1.00 x 10² m flies through a
tunnel drilled through an asteroid, at 0.600c relative to the asteroid. What does an
observer on the asteroid measure as the length of the spaceship?

Practice Problem 25-9 A spaceship of proper length 1.00 × 10² m flies through a
tunnel drilled through an asteroid at 0.600c relative to the asteroid. In the rest
frame of the asteroid, the tunnel is 4.50 × 10² m long. (a) What does the pilot of
the spaceship measure as the length of the tunnel? (b) At what speed relative to the
asteroid would the spaceship need to travel so that the pilot measures the tunnel to
be the same as the length of his ship?
