The proper length of one spaceship is three times that of another. The two spaceships are traveling in the same direction and, while both are passing overhead, an Earth observer measures the two spaceships to have the same length. If the slower spaceship is moving with a speed of 0.31c, determine the speed of the faster spaceship. c

If one spaceship fires a missile at 0.75c at the other spaceship as it approaches and the other spaceship observes the missile approaching it at 0.96c
Consider two spaceships moving relative to each other. The relative velocity of each spaceship is the velocity the other spaceship sees it moving at. Both relative velocities are equal in magnitude (equal speeds) but opposite in direction. If one spaceship fires a missile at 0.75c at the other spaceship as it approaches and the other spaceship observes the missile approaching it at 0.96c, what is the ratio of the first spaceship's relative velocity to the speed of light? Assume the velocity...

Sometime in the far future, engineers develop a spaceship capable of traveling at 95% of the speed of light. During a test flight of the spaceship, the astronauts on the spaceship measure that it takes them two hours to travel from one point in space to another point in space while moving at a constant speed of 93% of the speed of light. According to special relativity, will the people at Mission Control on Earth measure that the flight traveling...

Another interesting phenomenon due to relativity is time dilation. For a spaceship traveling at relativistic speeds, a clock on the ship will run slower than a non-moving clock on Earth. a) If you travel away from Earth at 0.6c for 1 hour, and return traveling at the same speed for 1 hour, how much time has elapsed on Earth? b) If you travel away from Earth at 0.999c for 1 year, and return traveling at the same speed for 1...
