    Time Dilation/Length Contraction

    \Delta t_{t2} = 2.5hr = \gamma \Delta t_t Well that's painfully obvious now hahahaha. Thanks!

    Time Dilation/Length Contraction

    Thanks so much! I got \Delta t_t = 9000s = 2.5hr, which seems correct.

    Time Dilation/Length Contraction

    x_0 = d_{rocket} = \gamma \beta c \Delta t = 2700c s \Delta x = x_0 + 0.6 c \Delta t_2 \Delta t_2 = \frac{\Delta x + x_0}{0.6c} This is my best idea, but I don't know what \Delta x is EDIT: I know \Delta x, its \beta c t

    Time Dilation/Length Contraction

    So would it be 2Δx then, to account for the distance from the Earth to the rocket and back?

    Time Dilation/Length Contraction

    Really? Thanks so much! I've been feeling really unsure about the class, mainly because we've yet to do any sort of problems until now, so I was getting worried. If you don't mind, can you look at my part C?

    Time Dilation/Length Contraction

    Homework Statement A Rocket Moves away from the Earth at a speed of (3/5)c. When a clock on the rocket says that one hour has elapsed, the rocket sends a signal back to the earth. (A). According to clocks on the earth, when was the signal sent? (B). According tot eh Clocks on the earth, how...
