The identical twins Speedo and Goslo join a migration from the Earth to Planet X, 21.0 ly away in a reference frame in which both planets are at rest. The twins, of the same age, depart at the same moment on different spacecraft. Speedo's spacecraft travels steadily at 0.945c and Goslo's at 0.735c.
(a) Calculate the age difference between the twins after Goslo's spacecraft lands on Planet X.

Earth and Planet X are in the same inertial frame of reference.
In the Earth-Planet X reference frame the distance between Earth
and Planet X is 12 ly (light years). A spaceship travels at a
constant speed from Earth to Planet X. In the reference frame of
the spaceship, it takes 15 years to reach Planet X. What is the
speed of the spaceship relative to Earth(as a fraction of the speed
of light)?

. In a distant solar system, a spacecraft travels

c at a time when A and X are 3.24 x 1011 m apart. The distance is
measured in the fixed frame of reference, in which the
sun, Planet A, and Planet X are at rest. (We neglect any motion of
the planets with respect to each other and the sun during this

Ed and Bob are twins. They plan a trip to planet X which is 60
light years from Earth. They both leave Earth at the same time on
their 20th birthdays, but on different spacecraft. Ed’s space-
craft travels at .90c, and Bob’s travels at .80c. As soon as Bob
arrives he is met at the terminal by Ed (who arrived first). What
are each of their biological ages (nearest 0.1 year) at this
meeting?
