You are on an interstellar mission from the Earth to the 8.7 light-years distant star Sirius. Your spaceship can travel with 70% the speed of light and has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 6 m at the front surface and a length of 25 m. You have to cross the interstellar medium with anthe approximated density of 1 hydrogen atom/m3Because you are moving at an enormous speed, your mission from the previous part will be influenced by the effects of time dilation described by special relativity: Your spaceshiplaunches in June 2020 and returns back to Earth directly after arriving at Sirius.(a) How many years will have passed from your perspective?(b) At which Earth date (year and month) will you arrive back to Earth?
In the future, Jake will ride a 75cm “space-skateboard” through the universe, fighting crime.If the space-bandits at rest on Mars believethe skateboard appears to have a length of 65cm as Jake approaches them to make an arrest, how fast will Jake’s skateboard be moving?

- Suppose the primed and laboratory observers want to measure the length of a rod that rests on the ground horizontally in the space between the helicopter and the tower (Fig. 39.8B). To derive the length transformation L = L (Eq. 39.5), we had to assume that the positions of the two ends were determined simultaneously. What happens to the length transformation equation if both observers measure the end below the helicopter at one time t1 and the other end at a later time t2?arrow_forwardA spacecraft zooms past the Earth with a constant velocity. An observer on the Earth measures that an undamaged clock on the spacecraft is ticking at one-third the rate of an identical clock on the Earth. What does an observer on the spacecraft measure about the Earth-based clocks ticking rate? (a) It runs more than three times faster than his own clock. (b) It runs three times faster than his own. (c) It runs at the same rate as his own. (d) It runs at one-third the rate of his own.
