Mort is watching Velma fly past in a spaceship at 95 % of the speed of light. How long does it take for 20 seconds to pass for Velma, according to Mort? (in s)
here,
speed of velma , v = 0.95 c
time , t0 = 20 s
time passed for Velma , t = t0 /sqrt(1 - (v/c)^2)
t = 20 / sqrt(1 - (0.95 c/c)^2)
t = 64.05 s
the time passed for Velma is 64.05 s

3) If a spaceship flies past you at 99% the speed of light how long will it take a clock on that spaceship to tick off 5.0 seconds?
Velma's rocket ship is moving away from Mort at a speed of 0.75c. Mort fires a laser beam toward her spaceship, observing the tip of the laser beam to move away from him at speed c. Velma observes this laser beam to move past her at a speed of 1.75c. 1.25c. 0.25c. 0.75c. None of the above. We know that light is quantized because, in the double slit experiment with light, when one slit is closed, no interference pattern shows...
You are standing on the ground observing the sky. Two spaceships A and B fly past you. Spaceship A is moving at a constant speed of 1000 m/s relative to the ground. Spaceship B is moving opposite to A at speed of 1000 m/s relative to the ground. Spaceship A fires a strobe light that sends out a pulse of light opposite to where it is heading. a) What is the velocity of spaceship A relative to spaceship B? b) What is...
At a speed of 0.78c, a spaceship travels to a star that is 6.5ly distant. According to an astronaut on the spaceship, how long does the trip take in yr?
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...
A spaceship moves past Earth with a speed of 0.500c. As it is passing, a person on Earth measures the spaceship’s length to be 75.0 m. Determine the spaceship’s proper length. Determine the time required for the spaceship to pass a point on Earth as measured by a person on Earth and by an astronaut on board the spaceship. please show steps clearly
Going at a significant fraction of the speed of light, you pilot a spaceship right past a navigational beacon that is emitting a radio wave. You measure the radio wave’s frequency as you approach the beacon, and then you measure it again after you pass the beacon and are receding from it. As you pass the beacon, the frequency you measure decreases due to the Doppler effect, and the difference between the two measurements is the Doppler shift. Compared to...
A spaceship is moving past Earth at 0.99c. The spaceship fires two lasers. Laser A is in the same direction it is traveling, and Laser B is in the opposite direction. How fast will the light from each laser be traveling according to an observer on Earth? Select one: a. The light from Laser A will be traveling at 1.99c, the light from Laser B at 0.010 b. The light from Laser A will be traveling at c, the light...
pre Come HOMEWORK due Weds. Spaceship at relativistie speed - Timer Notes Evaluate Feedback A spaceship is 1600 m long when it is at rest. When it is traveling at a certain constant speed its length is measured by external observers and it is found to be 1255 m. What is the speed of the spaceship in terms of the speed of light? Hints: Objects moving at relativistic speeds shrink in the direction of motion. This is the so called...
A spaceship of proper length Lp = 400 m moves past a transmitting station at a speed of 0.61c. (The transmitting station broadcasts signals 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, clocks at the transmitter and in the nose of the spaceship are set to zero. The instant that the tail...
