Question

Your professor has been selected by NASA to act as a mission specialist for the testing of a brand new propulsion system for spaceships. The new drive is to be tested just beyond the orbit of Neptune (for safety reasons). After the grueling journey to the testing site, the brand new drive manages to successfully accelerate (without killing the astronauts inside) to 0.95 times the speed of light relative to a separate ship where Your professor is monitoring telemetry from the test vehicle. Specifically, he is able to compare how much time is passing on the test ship with his own clock. Does the test ship's clock run slower, faster, or the same as his? Can your professor measure the proper time, proper distance, or both?

Explanation / Answer

Answer- Testing site is located beyond Neptune orbit. and spececraft propulsion is method for acclerate the spacecraft. brand new drive is successfully accelerate the spacecraft to 0.95 time to speed of light that is 3*108 m/s. relative to separate ship where professor is monitoring telemetry from test vehicle. now professor is able compare time that pass on test ship from his own clock. yes test ship's clock will run slower than professor watch. and professor can not measure proper time and distance.
