R3M.8 The new earth-Pluto shuttle shuttle line boasts that it can take you between the two planets (which are about 5.0 hours of distance apart) in 2.5 hours (according to a rider’s watch). Assume that acceleration and deceleration periods are very brief so that you spend essentially all the trip traveling at a constant velocity.
a) What time interval must synchronized clocks in the solar system’s reference frame register between the shuttle’s departure from earth and its arrival at Pluto if the advertisement is true?
b) What is the shuttle’s cruising speed?
▾
Part A
A starship voyages to a distant planet 10 ly away.
The explorers stay 4.0 yr, return at the same
speed, and arrive back on earth 26 yr after they
left. Assume that the time needed to accelerate and
decelerate is negligible.
What is the speed of the starship?

A super rocket car traverses a straight track 2.30×105 m long in 1.00×10−3 s as measured by an observer next to the track.
How much time delta t(clock) elapses on a clock in the rocket car during the run?
delta t(clock) = ?s
What is the distance L(driver) traveled in traversing the track as determined by the driver of the rocket car?
L(driver) = ?m
