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 is traveling at 0.89c relative to a spiral galaxy. The pilot, in an attempt to measure the size of the galaxy, determines the length of the long axis of the galaxy (the widest part of the galaxy) to be 2.5 × 104 parsecs. What would the length of this axis be as measured by a nearby alien observer at rest relative to the galaxy in parsecs?
