A alien spacecraft has a speed of 0.74c with respect to Earth. The alien measure 39 hours for the time interval between two events on Earth (Earth is the proper frame for these two events). What value for the time interval would they measure if their ship had a speed of 0.97c with respect to Earth? Time interval when speed is 0.97c (in hours) =
