RELATIVITY WITH THREE FRAMES An armada of spaceships that is 1.00 ly long in its rest frame moves with a speed 0.800c relative to a planet. A messenger travels from the rear of the armada to the front with a speed of 0.950c relative to the planet. How long does the trip take as measured (a) in the messenger's rest frame [1.25 y], (b) in the armada's rest frame [1.6 y], and (c) by an observer on the planet [4.0 y]? (HRW8 37.P.031)
