You spaceship has a snazzy lounge called Ten-Forward that needs a new spacecouch. Sadly the couch you bought is too long and won't fit into your car when it is stationary. The couch has a length Lc = 14.0 m and mass m = 49 kg, and your shuttlecraft has a length of L = 9.0 m How fast would you need to run, in terms of the speed of light c, in order to get the couch to fit inside the length of the shuttlecraft?

Sagot :

Answer:

v = speed

c = speed of light

using the equation

L = Lc Sqrt( 1 - (v/c)2)

9 = 14 Sqrt( 1 - (v/c)2)

v/c = 0.765

v = 0.765 c
