- 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.Many expressions in special relativity contain the gamma (y) factor. 1 Y √1-v²/c² In the equation, u is the speed of some object or reference frame and c is the speed of light. Find the numerical value of y for each of the listed speeds. U = 0, 1 Y = V = 0.450c, Y = V = 0.980c, Y = 5.0314. 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.
- 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 0.905c, and the other twin travels at 0.407c. (a) According to the theory of special relativity, what is the difference between their ages when they meet again at the earliest possible time? A₂-A₁ = (b) Which twin is older?Assume the Galilean transformation equations are true. Suppose that construction crews have set up a pair of blinking lights 60 m apart to mark a construction zone along a road. A car moves along the road with a speed of 30m/s toward the lights. Let us take the road to be the Home Frame and the car to be the Other Frame. In the Home Frame, the light farther from the car (light 2) blinks 0.66 s before the other light (light 1) blinks as the car approaches. (a) What is the time interval (t'2 - t'1) between the blink events in the car's frame? (Hint: Think about the sign - should it be negative?). (b) What is the x displacement x'2 - x'1 between the events in the car frame?A spaceship travels at a speed of 2.4 x 108 m/s. A clock in the spaceship passes 60 seconds. How much time (in second) passes on the clock at rest on the ground?
- 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?Someone in Earth's rest frame says that a spaceship's trip between two planets took 10.0 years, while an astronaut on the space ship says that the trip took 6.27 years.

Event A was when. came into being (when it was 'born') & event B was when it decayed (when it 'died'). □ ORANGE FRAME: Event C happened at (5 m, -9 m, -8 m) and event D happened at (-5 m, -0.9 m, -8 m). O YELLOW FRAME: The distance between where event E occurred and where event F occurred was 4 m. □ GREEN FRAME: A rocket was traveling at a constant velocity when it passed through a stationary tunnel.

BLUE FRAME: A stationary rocket was engulfed by a hollow cylinder that was moving at a constant velocity. Event J was the front of the rocket entering the cylinder and event K was the the front of the rocket leaving the cylinder.
- A spaceship moves by Earth at 2.8×108 m/s. A satellite moves by Earth in the opposite direction at 1.3×108 m/s.

The pirates are traveling at 1273 km/h while the police are traveling at 1431 km/h. The pirate ship needs 25 minutes to turn on its faster-than-light drive so it can jump into hyperspace to escape.
