A 489-m long spaceship passes by an observer at the speed of 2.60×108 m/s. What length does the observer measure for the spaceship?
using length contract formula where Δl=observed length
Δl0 proper length
so Δl=489*(1-2.62/32)=121.7 m ans

A spaceship travels with a speed of 0.3 c as it passes by the Earth on its way to a distant star, as shown in the diagram below. The pilot of the spaceship measures the length of the moving ship as 40 m. 0.3 c Earth Determine its length as measured by a person on Earth. (part 2 of 3) The pilot of the spaceship observes that the spaceship travels for 4 years. Determine how much time has passed according...
A ladder 5.90 m long leans against a wall inside a spaceship. From the point of view of a person on the ship, the base of the ladder is 2.60 m from the wall, and the top of the ladder is 5.30 m above the floor. The spaceship moves past the Earth with a speed of 0.92c in a direction parallel to the floor of the ship. What is the length of the ladder as seen by an observer on...
The length of a moving spaceship is 30.4 m according to an astronaut on the spaceship. If the spaceship is contracted by 15.8 cm according to an Earth observer, what is the speed of the spaceship? (in c)
An observer in the spaceship measures the spaceship’s length to be 65 m, while an observer in the space station measures the spaceship’s length to be 25 m. Find the spaceship’s speed with respect to the space station.
QUESTION 1: A spaceship traveling east flies directly over the head of an inertial observer who is at rest on the earth's surface. The speed of the space ship can be found from this relationship: sqrt(1 - (v^2/c^2) = 1/2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHOW all CALCULATIONS and FORMULAS, for full credit to be received (Parts (a) through (e) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (a) The observer is 5 feet all.

general relativity A spaceship of proper length Lp = 350 m moves past a transmitting station at a speed of 0.77c. (The transmitting station broadcasts signals that travel at the speed of light.) A clock is attached to the nose of the spaceship and a second clock is attached to the transmitting station. The instant that the nose of the spaceship passes the transmitter, the clock attached to the transmitter and the clock attached to the nose of the spaceship...
