A spaceship leaves Earth at 0.92c and travels 6.4 × 109 m as measured from Earth. What is the relativistic factor, γ, for the spaceship? How long does the trip take in seconds when measured by an observer aboard the spaceship? How far does the spaceship travel in meters according to an observer aboard the spaceship?

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...

A spaceship leaves Earth at a high velocity and travels to a distant planet. The observers on Earth state that it took 14 years for them to make the trip. However, the people on the spaceship say it took them 5 years to make the trip. a) How fast is the spaceship traveling? b) How far away is the planet according to the Earth observers? c) Partway during the trip, a small capsule is sent back to Earth at a...

A spaceship travels at a constant speed from earth to a planet orbiting another star. When the spacecraft arrives, 11.76 years have elapsed on earth, and 7.17 years have elapsed on board the ship. How far away (in meters) is the planet, according to observers on earth? (c = 3.00 x 108 m/s) Hint: you can enter the answer in terms of exponent i.e. 5.2e16.

A muon formed high in Earth's atmosphere travels towards Earth at a speed v = 0.970c for a distance of 4.30 km as measured by an observer at rest with respect to Earth. It then decays into an electron, a neutrino, and an antineutrino. (a) How long does the muon survive according to an observer at rest on Earth? (b) Compute the gamma factor associated with the muon. (c) How much time passes according to an observer traveling with the...

The distance from earth to the center of our galaxy is about 28,000 ly (1 ly = 1 light year = 9.47 × 1015 m), as measured by an earth-based observer. A spaceship is to make this journey at a speed of 0.9990c. According to a clock on board the spaceship, how long will it take to make the trip? Express your answer in years.
