- My question is about special relativity. Three interconnected rods form a 90-45-45 triangle that reside on the plane x′y ′ of frame O. The chord of this triangle is in the direction of the x-axis. The frame O in the x direction moves away from the frame O at a speed of 0.6c. What are the angles of this triangle from the observer O's point of view (in degrees)?Rocket A passes Earth at a speed of 0.79c.

- A rocket with a proper length of 1500 m moves at a speed of 0.87c directly away from an observer on earth. an astronaut standing at the centre of the rocket fires two electrons at a speed 0.99c through a vacuum pipe. One electron is aimed toward the centre of the rocket, the other toward the rear. a. In the astronaut's frame, calculate the time interval between the electron reaching the front of the rocket and the other electron reaching the rear. b. In the Earth observer's frame, calculate the length of the rocket, and the speed of the two electrons moving towards the front and the rear of the rocket.A person on Earth observes two rocket ships moving directly toward each other and colliding as shown in the figure below. At time t = 0 in the Earth frame, the Earth observer determines that rocket A, travelling to the right at vA = 0.80c, is at point a, and rocket B is at point b, travelling to the left at vB = 0.60c. According to the Earth observer they are separated by a distance l = 4.2 x 108 m as shown in the other figure. How much time will elapse in frame A from the time rocket A passes point auntil collision?This is the question please answer

This spaceship departs the Earth, bound for a distant planet located a distance D = 50.0 light-years away from the Earth. It travels at a constant speed of v = 0.900c. Part A) As measured by Mission Control on Earth, how long does the journey take? Enter the numerical value in units of years. Part B) According to an astronaut on the spaceship, how long does the journey take? Enter the numerical value in units of years. Part C) As measured by Mission Control on Earth, what is the spaceship's apparent length? Enter the numerical value in SI unitsYour answer is partially correct. Twins who are 19.0 years of age leave the earth and travel to a distant planet 12.0 light years away. Assume that the planet and earth are at rest with respect to each other. The twins depart at the same time on different spaceships. One twin travels at a speed of 0.894, and the other twin travels at 0.412c (a) According to the theory of special relativity, what is the difference between their ages when they meet again at the earliest possible time?
