    Special Relativity rocket’s speed

    oops, v^2/(1-(v/c)^2)=d^2/t^2 Should I multiply the LHS by the denominators conjugate?

    Special Relativity rocket’s speed

    v(sqrt(1-(v/c)^2)=d/t v^2(1-(v/c)^2)=d^2/t^2 v^2-v^4/c^2=d^2/t^2 v^2-v^4/c^2-d^2/t^2=0 I used wolfram to solve for roots and it gave back complex numbers.

    Special Relativity rocket’s speed

    Homework Statement A rocket flies between two planets that are one light-year apart. What should the rocket’s speed be so that the time elapsed on the captain’s watch is one year? Homework Equations I have v = d'/t' d'=d/ϒ t'=1 year d=1 light year The Attempt at a Solution Will the equations...
