Multiple Choice
Length contraction: Two space stations are at rest relative to each other and are 6.0 × 107 m apart, as measured by observers on the stations. A spaceship traveling from one station to the other at 0.90c relative to the stations passes both of them, one after the other. As measured by an observer in the spaceship, how long does it take to travel from one station to the other? (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s)
A) 97 ms
B) 220 ms
C) 510 ms
D) 58 ms
E) 39 ms
