The Voyager 1 spacecraft is presently 105.1 astronomical units from the Sun, and is moving away from the Sun at a speed of 17,260 meters per second. If it were traveling directly toward Proxima Centauri, and maintained its present speed for the entire journey, how long would it take to reach Proxima Centauri?

The crew of an enemy spacecraft attempts to escape from your spacecraft by moving away from you at 0.283 of the speed of light. But all is not lost! You launch a space torpedo toward the foe at 0.341 of the speed of light with respect to you. At what speed in kilometers per second does the enemy crew observe the torpedo approaching its spacecraft?

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...

f) in vacuum, light travels at about 186,282 miles per second. One mile is about 161 kilometers (km). Astronomers prefer to use units of distance that are reasonable in describing how far objects are from Earth. For example, for distances in the solar system we use the astronomical unit (AU), which is equal to the average distance of Earth from the Sun; 1 AU is about 150 million km. For distances to stars and galaxies, astronomers use the light-year (1...
