A NASA airplane - Time contraction - 12 hours at v = 850 km/hr
Added by Dark 2.
Step 1
We need to calculate the time contraction experienced by a NASA airplane traveling at a velocity of 850 km/hr for 12 hours. This involves using the concept of time dilation from the theory of relativity. Show more…

A spaceship travels at $0.8 c$. As this spaceship covers the $4000 \mathrm{~km}$ from coast to coast, by how much will the time interval registered on an onboard clock differ from the time interval measured on the ground?
(II) An Airplane travels at 950 $\mathrm{km} / \mathrm{h}$ . How long does it take to travel 1.00 $\mathrm{km} ?$
