3. A Vulcan spacecraft has a speed of 0.600c with respect to Earth. The Vulcans determine 32.0h to be the time interval between two events on Earth. What value would they determine for this time interval if their ship had a speed of 0.940c with respect to Earth? Give your answer in hours.
4. The Vulcan's spacecraft is now traveling passed Earth with a speed of 0.87c, relative to Earth. It is measured to be 48.0m long by observers on Earth. What is the proper length of the spacecraft?

An alien spaceship traveling at 0.610c toward the Earth
launches a landing craft. The landing craft travels in the same
direction with a speed of 0.710c relative to the mother
ship (as measured by aliens on the mother ship). As measured on the
Earth, the spaceship is 0.280 ly from the Earth when the landing
craft is launched.

The Helios spacecraft traveling at a speed of 0.60 c relative to
the Earth-Sun system, detects the explosion of a very powerful
solar flare at it passes by the Sun on its way to Earth. Sometime
later on Earth, the constellation of satellites used to track GPS
positions fails. Using the data from the Helios spacecraft as it
passes by Earth, scientists calculate that the solar flare happened
7.0 min before the failure of the satellites, according to clocks

A spaceship whose rest length is 350 m has a speed of
0.82c with respect to a certain
reference frame. A micrometeorite, also with a speed of
0.82c in this frame, passes the
spaceship on an antiparallel track. How long does it take this
object to pass the ship as

Sam is on a spaceship that travels from Earth to Proxima
Centauri at 70% the speed of light, or 0.7c, relative to Earth.
Erma is an observer on Earth. From Sam's perspective, 1.35 x
108 seconds passed between when the Earth was near him
and when Proxima Centauri is near him
First we consider velocity and time: How fast in m/s is Sam
moving as measured in the rest frame of the rocket?
How fast in m/s is Erma moving...
