- The star Epsilon Eridani is 10.4 light-years from Earth. Imagine a spaceship that travels from Earth to Epsilon Eridani at a constant speed of 0.921c. On Earth, we would measure the time it takes for the ship to reach the star to be (10.4ly/0.921c)= 11.2 years. (a) How much time (in years) would it take the ship to travel from the Earth to the star as measured by a passenger aboard the ship? years (b) What is the distance to the star (in light years) as measured by a passenger aboard the ship?arrow_forwardBecause you are moving with an enormous speed, your mission from the previous problem A.1will be influenced by the eects of time dilation described by special relativity: Your spaceshiplaunches in June 2020 and returns back to Earth directly a er arriving at Sirius.(a) How many years will have passed from your perspective?(b) At which Earth date (year and month) will you arrive back to Earth?www.arrow_forwardSuppose that an astronaut left Earth in the year 2000 and traveled toa star 99 light years away from Earth at 99% of the speed of light andthat upon reaching the star immediately turned around and returnedto Earth at the same speed.
