Question 1: You wish to travel to a planet located 10 light years (ly) away. a) How fast must you travel for that distance to be only 2.0 ly as seen from your spaceship? b) How long does it take for you to get there in your time? c) According to your friends on Earth, how long does it take for you to get there?
The distance to a particular star, as measured in the earth’s frame of reference, is 7.87 ly (1 light year is the distance light travels in 1 year). A spaceship leaves earth headed for the star, and takes 3.96 yr to arrive, as measured by passengers on the ship. 1. How long does the trip take, according to observers on earth? Express your answer with the appropriate units. (t = ? yr) 2. What distance for the trip do passengers...
A passenger on a spaceship travels with a speed of 0.92c as it passes by a planet. It takes the passenger 23.9 minutes to read a magazine. Calculate how long does this take as measured by planet-based clocks, in units of minutes.
A passenger on a spaceship travels with a speed of 0.9c as it passes by a planet. It takes the passenger 14.5 minutes to read a magazine. Calculate how long does this take as measured by planet-based clocks, in units of minutes.
At a distance of 6.00 x 102 ly, Kepler-22b is the nearest habitable planet found orbiting another star as of 2012. What would the speed of a spacecraft traveling to this planet have to be so that the distance to the star is 170 ly in the reference frame of the people on the spacecraft?
Sirius is about 9.00 ly from Earth. To reach the star by spaceship in 15.0 y (ship time), how fast must you travel?
PHYSICS II homework help! A spaceship travels at a constant speed from earth to a planet orbiting another star. When the spacecraft arrives, 10 years have elapsed on earth, and 8.7 elapsed on board the ship. How far away (in meters) is the planet, according to observers on earth?
The nearest star to Earth besides the Sun is Proxima Centauri, which is a distance of approximately 4 light years away. A planet that may be able to sustain liquid water on its surface was discovered in 2016 orbiting Proxima Centauri. According to observers on Earth, a spaceship that travels at 0.9c should be able to reach the planet in 3.6 years. How long would the trip take according to astronauts on board the spaceship?
