There are two twins, A and B. While twin A stays home, twin B travels with a speed (12/13)c to a far planet. Once twin B arrives at the planet, they turn around and travel back home at the same speed. When twin B arrives home, they find that they are 32 years younger than twin A. How far away is the planet in twin A's frame of reference?

A:
There are two twins, A and B. While twin A stays home, twin B travels with a speed (12/13)c to a far planet. Once twin B arrives at the planet, they turn around and travel back home at the same speed. When twin B arrives home, they find that they are 32 years younger than twin A.
How far away is the planet in twin A's frame of reference?
The distance of the planet in twin A's frame is the proper distance.
For the twin B, time passes slowly compared to twin A.
The time passed in twin A's frame of reference will be

- Fred travels past Alice at a constant speed of 0.921c in the positive x direction. Fred is holding a meter stick at an angle of 26.3° with respect to the +x axis. What is the length (in m) and orientation (in degrees) of the meter stick according to Alice?A spaceship approaching an asteroid at a speed of 0.77c launches a rocket forward with a speed of 0.27c relative to the spaceship. At what factor of the speed of light c is the rocket approaching the asteroid as measured by an astronaut on the asteroid?1) A rocket with a proper length of 2000 m moves at a speed of 0.85c directly away from an observer on Earth. An astronaut standing at the centre of the rocket fires two electrons at a speed of 0.95c through a vacuum pipe; one electron is aimed toward the front 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: i) the length of the rocket ii) the speed of the electron moving toward the front of the rocket i) the speed of the electron moving toward the rear of the rocket
- 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.As the drawing shows, a carpenter on a space station has constructed a 30.0° ramp. A rocket moves past the space station with a relative speed of 0.694c in a direction parallel to side x. What does a person aboard the rocket measure for the angle of the ramp? Number 30.0⁰ UnitsA 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?
- An astronaut travels to the next star at a speed of 0.95c and back. He notices that his trek has taken him 11 years. When he returns, how much time will have elapsed on Earth during his absence?The inertial reference frames, S and S', both share the same origin at t =t'=0. The S' frame is moving at a speed 0.700c in the positive direction, as seen by frame S. An event happens at (t',x', y', z') (300s, 2.50x10"m, 1.50x10"m, 2.90x10"m), as observed in the S' frame. What are the spacetime coordinates in the S frame?This is the question please answer
