1. Twins who are 19.0 years of age leave the earth and travel to a distant planet 12.0 light-years away. Assume that the planet and earth are at rest with respect to each other. The twins depart at the same time on different spaceships. One twin travels at a speed of 0.899c, and the other twin travels at 0.561c. (a) According to the theory of special relativity, what is the difference between their ages when they meet again at the...

Time Dilation Ranking Task Five identical quintuplets leave earth when they reach the age of 21, in the year 2121. Each quintuplet goes on a spaceship journey that takes T years, as measured by a clock in each spaceship. During the journey they travel at a constant speed v, as measured on earth, except during the relatively short acceleration phases of their journey. Part A Rank these quintuplets on the basis of the year on earth when they return from...
