4 parts to this problem, I figured out 2 of the 4, I just need a little help.
A certain star is 9.60 light-years away.
Part A
How long would it take a spacecraft traveling 0.910c to reach that star from Earth, as measured by observers on Earth?
Answer: 10.5 y
Part B-I need help with this one!
How long would it take a spacecraft traveling 0.910c to reach that star from Earth, as measured by observers on the spacecraft?
Part C
What is the distance traveled according to observers on the spacecraft?
Answer: 3.98 ly
Part D-If I understand Part B I know how to solve this one!
What will the spacecraft occupants compute their speed to be from the results of parts B and C?

What angle would the axis of a polarizing filter need to make with the direction of polarized light of intensity 1.80 kW/m2 to reduce the intensity to 30.0 W/m2? 88.5 One of the primary goals of the Kepler space telescope is to search for Earth-like planets. Data gathered by the telescope indicates the existence of one such planet named Boralis orbiting a star 115 ly from our solar system. Consider an interstellar spaceship leaving Earth to travel to Boralis. The...

One of the primary goals of the Kepler space telescope is to search for Earth-like planets. Data gathered by the telescope indicates the existence of one such planet named Boralis orbiting a star 120 ly from our solar system. Consider an interstellar spaceship leaving Earth to travel to Boralis. The ship can reach 0.70c almost instantly and can also decelerate almost instantly. The ship is 175 m long in its reference frame. (a) What is the length of the moving...

ANSWER 3A, B, AND C!
3. The star system that is closest to the earth is Alpha Centauri. It is 4.37 light years away in Earth's reference frame. The fastest spacecraft humans have ever launched is New Horizons, which sent us sweet pictures of Pluto in 2015. It attained a speed of 45 km/s relative to the sun. That's fast, but even at this rate, interstellar travel is not practical. a) Traveling at 45 km/s, how long, in years, would...
