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?
QUESTION 1: A spaceship traveling east flies directly over the head of an inertial observer who is at rest on the earth's surface. The speed of the space ship can be found from this relationship: sqrt(1 - (v^2/c^2) = 1/2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHOW all CALCULATIONS and FORMULAS, for full credit to be received (Parts (a) through (e) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (a) The observer is 5 feet all. According to the navigator of the space ship, how tall is the observer? [Answer 5 ft]...
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.
A spaceship is flying with a speed of 0.250c relative to the Earth. The spaceship fires a missile with a speed of 0.500c relative to it. What is the speed of the missile as measured by an observer on Earth?
How fast does a 240 −m spaceship move relative to an observer who measures the ship's length to be 160 m ?

A spaceship travels with a speed of 0.3 c as it passes by the Earth on its way to a distant star, as shown in the diagram below. The pilot of the spaceship measures the length of the moving ship as 40 m. 0.3 c Earth Determine its length as measured by a person on Earth. (part 2 of 3) The pilot of the spaceship observes that the spaceship travels for 4 years. Determine how much time has passed according...
How fast does a 245-m spaceship move relative to an observer who measures the ship's length to be 175m? ?c
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 =
