A1. (a) A large rocket ship traveling away from Earth at a speed of 0.4c launches a shuttle which also travels in the direction away from earth. From an observer on the rocket ship the shuttle is receding at a speed of 0.6c. Calculate the velocity of the shuttle for an observer on Earth. (b) A spaceship leaves Earth and travels in a fixed direction with constant speed 0.80c in the Earth's reference frame. A video call is set to be made from the spaceship exactly one year after launch, as measured by a clock on the spaceship. (i) Calculate how far away from Earth the spaceship is (in light-years) when the video call is made. (ii) Calculate how long after the departure time, as measured on Earth, before the video call is received on Earth. The call is transmitted by radio waves.

14. An astronaut is flying in a spaceship with a speed of 0.8 c with respect to Earth. The astronaut observes an event on Earth and determines that the time interval for the event to be completed is 33 hours. a) If the astronaut had a speed of 0.93 c with respect to Earth, what would she observe the time interval to be for that same event? b) Would the astronaut measure the proper time interval or the dilated time interval? Justify your response.

Two friends, Sungyoung and Azhar are initially 10 years old. While Azhar remains on Earth, Sungyoung rides on a spaceship which travels away from Earth at a speed of 1c for 5years (as measured by Azhar), then immediately turns around and comes back at 1c. When Sungyoung returns, Azhar is 2*5 years older than when Sungyoung left. How old is Sungyoung upon his return?
