So i tried the formula you gave me (i was using the same one i thought but i got 50, i don't know what happen) and got an answer of 5.03. i don't understand your last part, the 20/gamma. since the 20 years elapsed, I'm dividing it by gamma= 5.03 and then do i add that to the astronauts original...

Homework Statement spaceship 3 meters wide, v= 2c/3. (a.) calculate ships time, (b) sq. root factor, (c) Earth's time, (d) ships displacement, (e) lights displacement, and (f) which clock "runs slow" Homework Equations a. Ts=(3m)/c b. square root 1-v^2/c^2 c. Earth's time = answer a/b...

I tried using that formula but what do I insert for V? I put in 2 seconds and it didnt work, i tried working backwards, that didnt work either...what am i doing wrong?

sorry i don't know how to use latex!

i edited it chroot, is that better?

1. A capacitor where C=1X10^-5 F and R= 1X10^6, there's 1000 electrons on the plate at t=0. How would I find the number of protons after 2 seconds? 2. half life= .7Tm, mean life=RC [b]3. I put the R and C values into get the mean life and got an answer of 7 seconds, and than to...

1. On his 25th birthday, the astronaut twin leaves on a long space journey at an average speed of v/c= 0.98. He returns after 20 earth-years have elapsed, to celebrate his earth-twin's 45th birthday. Compare their biological ages. 2. 1/ square root 1- v^2/c^2, My teacher is using v/c...
