A Klingon spacecraft has a speed of 0.64c withrespect tothe earth. The Klingons measure 30.0 hr for the timeintervalbetween two events on the earth. What value for the timeinterval(in hours) would they measure if their ship had a speedof0.94c with respect to the earth?

Very far from earth(at R=\infty), a spacecraft has run out of fuel and its kinetic energy is zero. If only the gravitational force of the earth were to act on it (i.e., neglect the forces from the sun and other solar system objects), the spacecraft would eventually crash into the earth. The mass of the earth is and its radius is R_e. Neglect air resistance throughout this problem, since the spacecraft is primarily moving through the near-vacuum of space.
 
Part A
Find the speed s_e of the spacecraft when it crashes into the earth.
Express the speed in terms ofM_e, R_e, and the universal gravitational constant G.
Part B
Now find the spacecraft's speed when its distance from the center of the earth is R=\alpha R_{\rm e}, where \alpha \ge 1.
Express the speed in terms ofs_e and alpha.

A spaceship is moving at 0.66 c (0.66 times the speed of light) with respect to the earth. An observer on the spaceship measures the time interval between two events on earth as 38 hrs. If the spaceship had been moving with a speed of 0.94 c with respect to the earth, what would the time interval between the events have been?

Astrobiology: two cells that subdivide on Earth every 10.0 secondsstart from the Earth on a journey to the Sun (1.50 × 1011 m away)in a spacecraft moving at 0.850c. How many cells will exist justbefore the spacecraft crashes into the Sun?
(Assume that over the course of the trip the earth and sun arerelatively motionless with respect to each other and assume a“perfect” Petri dish environment is provided for the colony ofcells.)
