Astronaut Rob leaves Earth in a spaceship at a speed of 0.960c relative to an observer on Earth. Rob's destination is a star system 14.4 light-years away (one light-year is the distance light travels in one year). Relative to a frame of reference that is fixed with respect to Earth, how long does it take Rob to complete the trip?

A) 15.0 years
B) 22.7 years
C) 4.20 years
D) 14.4 years
E) 10.8 years

Answer:

A) 15.0 years

Explanation:

Due to the distance to the star system is in light-year units, we can compute the time by using:

[tex]t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{14.4 l-y}{0.960}=15l-y[/tex]

then, Rob will take to complete the trip about 15 light-years.

hope this helps!!
