Spaceships A, B, and C have the same proper length I, and according to an observer on Earth, are moving with same relativistic speed v in the +z, -, and -v direction, respectively. Find the length of each spaceship as measured by an observer in the Spaceship A. Spaceships A, B, and C have the same proper length I, and according to an observer on Earth, are moving with same relativistic speed v in the +z, -, and -v direction,...
a spaceship of proper length 50 m is moving away from the earth at a speed of .8c . according to the observes in the ship , their journey takes 6.0 hours . according to observers on earth , what is the length of the ship and how long does the journey take ?
A spaceship moving at 0.60c is on a path leading to a head-on collision with an asteroid moving with speed 0.50c according to the stationary observer. What is the speed of the asteroid for an observer in the spaceship?
A spacecraft of proper length Lo = 48.0 m is moving in the +x direction at a constant Lorentz factor y = 2.20 relative to an inertial frame, the Earth frame. The spacecraft is aligned with the direction of motion. The tip of the spacecraft crosses the origin (x = 0) at tA = 0 in the Earth frame and t'A = 0 in the frame of the moving spacecraft. a. What is the speed parameter of the spaceship B?...
An apartment complex is 100 yards long as measured on earth. What length will an astronaut measures if his spaceship is traveling at a speed of 0.50 C relative to earth?
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?
A 481-m long spaceship passes by an observer at the speed of 2.70×108 m/s. What length does the observer measure for the spaceship?
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...
A spaceship passes near a space platform at a relative speed of 0.920c. An observer on the space platform measures the spaceship to be 15.0 m long and 10.0 m tall. Calculate the length and height of the spaceship as measured by an astronaut in the spaceship.
A spaceship at rest on the earth has a length of 120m and a mass of 16,000kg. Then the spaceship begins to move away from the earth at 3/4 speed of light. If the spaceship sends out a second ship away from the earth on what observers on the spaceship think is 1/2 speed of light, how fast do the observers on earth think the second ship is moving? If the spaceship sends out a second ship toward the earth...
