Several steps to one question.. any help is appreciated!!
a) A certain space ship is measured to be 80 meters long when it is at rest. How long is it measured to be by a stationary observer if it is traveling at 80 percent the speed of light?
b) On the same spaceship as above, an astronaut watches a movie which is 2 hours long. How long does a stationary observer observe the movie to last for?
c) Find the length contraction as seen by a stationary observer for 100 meter space ship moving at 10 percent, 20 percent, 30 percent, .... 90 percent the speed of light.
d) For the same speeds listed above, find the time dilation for a one hour long event as seen by a stationary observer.

9.1 Lorentz Contraction Objects traveling at relativistic speeds will appear to a stationary observer as shorter, as- suming that it is parallel to the direction of its motion. Using the equation for Lorentz contraction, find the following, where c is the speed of light: a) A spaceship is traveling with a velocity 0.8c. If it is 200m long in its rest frame (when the object is not moving), how long do you observe it to be? Assume that you can...

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 =

Relativistic Mass Still standing in the same spaceship... With
respect to an observer in a given frame of reference, how fast
would the spaceship have to move in order for your [moving] mass to
be double your resting mass? From your perspective, what
will be your mass on board the spaceship? In the last two weeks we
have investigated time, length, and mass at very high velocities.

Problem 1 You're in a spaceship in deep space. Your engines are off, and you're far away from any reference points. a) You release a small ball from rest. The ball remains floating at rest in the same position where you released it. What kind of reference frame are you in? Is there any way to tell if you are moving at all? Let's designate your reference frame as S,...
