Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given an observer at rest measures light traveling 300,000 km, how would this distance change if measured from an object moving at half the speed of light?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the speed of light in calculations.

Question 2

A spaceship travels at 0.9c. How would you calculate the proper time for an observer on Earth versus an astronaut aboard?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Proper time is what the astronaut will measure.
