Question
please solve the following
A space ship is moving at 85% the speed of light. What is the value of gamma (the parameter that is used in time and length change)? There is an exoplanet located 87 light years from earth. If you travel at 85% the speed of light, how far away in light yrs will the planet be duo to relativistic distance shrinkage? Suppose you travel to the exoplanet at 85% the speed of light and it takes you 53.9 years to get there. How many years will have passed on the earth when you arrive at the planet? How many years does it take for light from a star located 220 light years away to roach the earth?Explanation / Answer
(a)
gama = 1/sqrt (1-(v/c)^2 = 1/ sqrt 1- ( 0.85c/c)^2 = 1.89
(b)
t = t'/sqrt (1-(v/c)^2 =165.15 light year
(c)
t'= t sqrt (1-(v/c)^2= 28.39 light years
