A 200 m long rocketship moves parallel to its length with speed v = 0.9c relative to you. (a) Compute the length of the rocketship measured by you. (b) How long does it take for the rocketship to pass you? (c) In the frame-of-reference of the rocketship, how long does it take for you to travel from one end of the rocketship to the other as you pass by the rocketship? (d) One of the two time intervals calculated in (b) and (c) corresponds to a proper-time interval. Which one? Why?

A reference frame S' moves with a constant speed v=0.800c along the x axis relative to a second reference frame S. A particle is observed from reference frame S' to be moving with velocity 0.400c (along the positive x' axis). What would be the velocity of the particle as measured by an observer in reference frame S?

Suppose a cosmic ray colliding with a nucleus in the Earth's upper atmosphere produces a muon that has speed v = 0.74c. The muon then travels at constant speed and lives 1.525 μs as measured in the muon's frame of reference. (You can imagine this as the muon's internal clock.) Please answer B A) How many kilometers does the muon travel according to an Earth-bound observer? 0.503 is the answer to A B) How many kilometers of the Earth pass...
