Chapter 26 23) Since the objects changes their dimensions only in the direction of the motion, the height of the observer's friend will remain the same (c). 24) dT = dTo*sqrt(1-(v/c)^2) = 5 min * sqrt(1-0.9^2) = 2.18 min 28) a) For the observer in the ship, the distance between Earth and star would be smaller T(ship) = Length*sqrt(1-(v/c)^2)/Time= 5.7 years. b) For the earth observer the time would be T(Earth) = Length/Speed = 4.3/0.6 = 7.2 years 41) Special theory of relativity shows relativistic effects for the length, mass and time (d)
