Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the time dilation for a spaceship moving at 80% the speed of light for a trip of 5 years in its frame. What would a stationary observer note?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the time dilation formula and remember to square the speed!

Question 2

Two observers are moving towards each other at 70% the speed of light. Calculate their combined relativistic momentum based on an object's mass of 2 kg with respect to one observer.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the formula for relativistic momentum!
