An observer in the spaceship measures the spaceship’s length to be 65 m, while an observer in the space station measures the spaceship’s length to be 25 m. Find the spaceship’s speed with respect to the space station.
Observer in ship measures ship's length 65 m, observer in space station measures ship length 25m, find ship speed with respect to station
A spaceship passes near a space platform at a relative speed of 0.920c. An observer on the space platform measures the spaceship to be 15.0 m long and 10.0 m tall. Calculate the length and height of the spaceship as measured by an astronaut in the spaceship.
Imagine a spaceship traveling at a constant speed through outer space. The length of the ship, as measured by a traveler aboard the ship, is 30.8 m. An observer on Earth, however, sees the ship as contracted by 19.7 cm along the direction of motion. What is the speed of the spaceship with respect to the Earth? (Express the speed as a fraction of c, the speed of light in a vacuum.) v c =
How fast does a 245-m spaceship move relative to an observer who measures the ship's length to be 175m? ?c
How fast does a 240 −m spaceship move relative to an observer who measures the ship's length to be 160 m ?
A 489-m long spaceship passes by an observer at the speed of 2.60×108 m/s. What length does the observer measure for the spaceship?
A 481-m long spaceship passes by an observer at the speed of 2.70×108 m/s. What length does the observer measure for the spaceship?
A spaceship travels through the dock of a space station without slowing down. The speed of the spaceship relative to the station is v = 4c/5, where c is the speed of light. Consider frames of reference in the standard configuration with v and all distances aligned along the x-axis. Primed variables refer to events in the station frame and unprimed to events in the spaceship frame. The dock has a length of L′ = 200 m in the station...
A spaceship of proper length Lp = 400 m moves past a transmitting station at a speed of 0.61c. (The transmitting station broadcasts signals at the speed of light) A clock is attached to the nose of the spaceship and a second clock is attached to the transmitting station. The instant that the nose of the spaceship passes the transmitter, clocks at the transmitter and in the nose of the spaceship are set to zero. The instant that the tail...

A spaceship of proper length Lp = 350 m
moves past a transmitting station at a speed of 0.77c.
(The transmitting station broadcasts signals that travel at the
speed of light.) A clock is attached to the nose of the spaceship
and a second clock is attached to the transmitting station. The
instant that the nose of the spaceship passes the transmitter, the
clock attached to the transmitter and the clock attached to the
nose of the spaceship...
