You and your secret celebrity crush pass each other in rockets that are each traveling 0.56c relative to the other. Your secret celebrity crush takes a nap and you decide to time how long the nap takes. In your frame, the nap takes 1.7 h. How long was the nap in your secret celebrity crush's frame? Unbeknownst to you, your secret celebrity crush's agent is onboard the celebrity's rocket and saw you timing the nap. Concerned, the agent decides to time how long you were timing the nap. In the agent's frame, how long were you timing your secret celebrity crush's nap?
James (mass 81.0 kg) and Ramon (mass 57.0 kg) are 20.0 m apart on a frozen pond. Midway between them is a mug of their favorite beverage. They pull on the ends of a light rope stretched between them.
