The diameter of the solar system is 10 light hours. A spaceship crosses the solar system in 15 hours, as measured on earth. How long, in hours, does the passage take according to passengers on the spaceship? Hint:c1 light hour per hour.Previous question

Respuesta :

According to the spaceship's passengers, the journey took 11.2 hours.

How long would it take to travel to the solar system's outermost point?

In reality, most of interstellar space is located within our solar system. Voyager 1 will need around 300 years to get to the inner edge of the Oort Cloud, and perhaps another 30,000 years to travel past it. The star that is currently closest to our solar system is Alpha Centauri.

Calculation:

The spacecraft will travel across in t = 15 hours.

Since this can be measured with a single clock at both locations, the time measured in S' frame is the correct time.

The velocity is :

v = 10lh /15 h

v = 2/3 c

Because Δt° = Δς

Δς = Δt√1 - β²

Δς = (15h)√1 - (2/3)²

Δς = 11.2 h
