Problem 14.49 A spaceship travels at 0.530 c0 away from Earth. When the ship is 2.87×1011 m away in the Earth reference frame, the ship clock is set to t = 0 and a message (light signal) is sent to its ground crew on Earth. When this message is received, the ground crew immediately sends a reply (light signal) to the ship. The ground crew adjust their clocks to specify t = 0 as the time the message was sent from the ship. Part A What is the reading on the ground crew's clock at the instant the ship receives the reply signal? Part B According to the ground crew, how far from Earth is the ship when it receives the reply? Part C What is the reading on the ship's clock at the instant the reply reaches the ship? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Spaceship MST3K is traveling to TRAPPIST-1 (a system of 7 Earth-sized planets 40 light-years away from Earth) at a speed u=0.8c. Assume that all frames are inertial, ignoring acceleration, and that Earth and TRAPPIST-1 do not move relative to each other. a.) According to Earth, how long will the journey take? b.) Earth sends a very important radio transmission to MST3k 10 years after their journey begins. According to Earth, when does this message arrive at TRAPPIST-1? Will the message...

2. As seen from Earth, two spaceships A and B are approaching along perpendicular directions. Spaceship A is observed by an Earth observer to have velocity uy = −0.60c and spaceship B to have a velocity ux = −0.80c. Find the magnitude of the relative velocity of the two spaceships by transforming the velocity of one ship into the rest frame of the other. Remember, the answer has to be less than c.
