    Should I use time dilation or length contraction?

    This makes sense. So 88.9 min would be the time it takes for the observer in rocket 1 to get to the point of collision from the start of HIS measurement and 60 min would be the time is takes for this observer from the start of Liz's measurement, correct?

    Should I use time dilation or length contraction?

    1. Homework Statement [/B] This is a problem that was in my Physics HW. Two powerless rockets are on a collision course. The rockets are moving with speeds of 0.800c and 0.600c and are initially ## 2.52 × 10^{12} ## m apart as measured by Liz, an Earth observer, as shown in Figure P1.59. Both...
