A rocket sets out from x = x = 0 at t = t = 0 and moves with speed u in the negative x

A rocket sets out from x = x=0 at t = t =0 and moves with speed u in the
negative x-direction, as measured in S'. After 1 year has elapsed in S', the rocket
turns around. According to observers in S, the rocket turns around at x =1/5 light year and it returns to the origin in S at x =4 light-years.
i) Calculate v /c.
ii) Calculate u /c.
iii) At what time in S does the rocket return to the origin in S?

Step by Step Solution

There are 3 Steps involved in it
