A deep-space vehicle moves away from the Earth with a speed of 0.870c. An astronaut on the vehicle measures a time interval of 3.10 s to rotate her body through 1.00 rev as she floats in the vehicle. What time interval is required for this rotation according to an observer on the Earth

t₀ = 1.55 s

Explanation:

According to Einstein's Theory of Relativity, when an object moves with a speed comparable to speed of light, the time interval measured for the event, by an observer in  motion relative to the event is not the same as measured by an observer at rest.

It is given as:

t = t₀/[√(1 - v²/c²)]

where,

t = time measured by astronaut in motion = 3.1 s

t₀ = time required according to observer on earth = ?

v = relative velocity = 0.87 c

c = speed of light

3.1 s = t₀/[√(1 - 0.87²c²/c²)]

(3.1 s)(0.5) = t₀

t₀ = 1.55 s

are there options? cause you ain’t. real specific

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees.
