A newly constructed spaceship has a length of 100.0 m (as measured in the rest frame). 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 units
Two rockets moving towards each other. Rocket A moving to the right with speed 0.80c while rocket B moving to the left with speed 0.60c. The length of the two rockets are the same, that are 50m as measured by the earth observer. i) What is the lengths of the two rockets as measured by the astronouts in their rockets? ii) What is the velocity of the rocket relative to each other? iii) If the earth observer measured the initial distance of the two rockets to be 2.52 x 1012 m apart, what are distance of the two rockets observed by observer in the rockets? iv) How long before they collide, observed by the observer in the rockets? v) If both rockets could evacuate within 90 min (their own time), will they survive?
