Homework Statement
i put my answers to the questions in bold
A spaceship and its occupants have a total mass of 1.8×105kg . The occupants would like to travel to a star that is 30 light-years away at a speed of 0.70c. To accelerate, the engine of the spaceship changes mass directly to energy...
my apologies for ignoring the parenthesis again, i believe the common denominators are
di2+19di and 897
so then it would be 19/di2+19di = 36/897
which would give you di equal .0401337793
1/.0401337793 = 24.91666667
the answer i keep getting is 8.05 * 10^-6 which i guesss would be a micrometer ( i edited that above) which i guess would be but the answer has to be in meters.
