A spacecraft of the Trade Federation flies past the planet Coruscant at a speed of 0.610 c. A scientist on Coruscant measures the length of the moving spacecraft to be 71.0 m. The spacecraft later lands on Coruscant, and the same scientist measures the length of the now stationary spacecraft. What value does she get?

the length of the now stationary spacecraft = 89.65m

Explanation:

In contraction equation, Length contraction L is the shortening of the measured length of an object moving relative to the observer’s frame.

Thus, it has a formula;

L = L_o(√(1 - (v²/c²))

Where in this question;

L = 71m and v = 0.610 c

Thus;

71 = L_o (√(1 - ((0.61c)²/c²))

c² will cancel out to give;

71 = L_o (√(1 - 0.61²)

71 = L_o (√(1 - 0.61²)

71 = 0.792L_o

L_o = 71/0.792

L_o = 89.65m

i am pretty sure it is c because when people are closer together, they cannot move as freely. picture being in a mostly full elevator, for instance. the people are right next to you, and you can barely move.

myth. it was once thought that animals, including cats and dogs, could only see in black and white. however, scientists have proven this to be a myth. in all animals, including humans, the perception of colour is determined by the presence of cells in the eye called cone photoreceptors.
