A spacecraft with a proper length of 300 m passes by an AMT observer on the Earth. According to this observer, it takes 0.750 μs for the spacecraft to pass a fixed point. Determine the speed of the spacecraft as measured by the Earth-based observer. A spacecraft with a proper length of Lp passes by an observer S on the Earth. According to this observer, it takes a time interval Δt for the spacecraft to pass a fixed point. Determine the speed of the object as measured by the Earth-based observer.
