How much would you age in traveling a distance of 4.66 light years from earth if you were able to travel at a speed of 0.763c?
I got 6.11 years but this is not correct.
first, we will find time decay constant
= 1 / sqrt (1 - 0.7632 c2 / c2)
= 1.547
time passed on earth = 4.66 / 0.763 = 6.107 years
so,
time passed (age) = 6.107 / 1.547
age = 3.947 years

How far from the earth would you be able to travel in a lifetime of 77 years if you were able to travel at a constant speed of 0.61c?
Light requires 4.5 years to travel from the nearest star to earth. If we could travel there in a spaceship going 90% of the speed of light, the trip would require 5.0 years according to clocks on earth. How much time would pass for the passengers in the ship?
In an Earth reference frame, a star is 76 light-years away. How fast would you have to travel so that to you the distance would be only 39 light-years?
the spacecraft traveling at 0.99c continues on to space station positioned 1.5x10^9km from earth(according to earth measurements). how many hours, as measured on earth and as measured on the spaceship of food and air would the astronauts in the spacecraft need if the continue at a speed of 0.99c need to get there? 1. how far would the astronauts on the moving space ship think the distance from earth to the space station was? 2.suppose a light beam from earth...
Earth's neighboring galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy, is a distance of 2.54×107 light-years from Earth. If the lifetime of a human is taken to be 75.0 years, a spaceship would need to achieve some minimum speed ?min to deliver a living human being to this galaxy. How close to the speed of light would this minimum speed be? Express your answer as the difference between ?min and the speed of light ?. ?−?min= __________ m/s
