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. (a) What speed do the Earth-based observers measure for the approaching landing craft? c (b) What is the distance to the Earth...

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. (1 yr is equal to 3.16 × 107 s.)

please provide solutions for all questions; thank you in advance 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 0.840c relative to the mother ship (as measured by aliens on the mother ship). As measured on the Earth, the spaceship is0.260 ly from the Earth when the landing craft is launched. (a) What speed do the Earth-based observers measure for the approaching landing craft?...

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.

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...

An allied spaceship, moving at 0.5 c with respect to Earth, shoots a photon missile at the speed of light at a revel spaceship, initially at 6000 km away, which is moving away from the allied ship at constant velocity. According to the allied ship the missile hits the revels 0.1 s after firing. How fast were the revels traveling with respect to earth?
