Question

As a spaceship is moving toward Earth, an Earthling measures its length to be 6.20×10^2 m, while the captain on board radios that her spaceship's length is 1.15 x 10^3 m. How fast is the rocket moving relative to Earth in units of 10x^8 m/s. c = 3.00 x 10^8 m.

Step 1

The length of the spaceship as measured by the Earthling (observer on Earth) is \( L = 6.20 \times 10^2 \, \text{m} \). The proper length of the spaceship (length measured by the captain on board) is \( L_0 = 1.15 \times 10^3 \, \text{m} \). Show more…
