Main Answer:
Given speed of spaceship v = 0.8c = 0.8 * 3 x 10^8 m/s
Speed of spaceship v = 2.4 x 10^8 m/s
Distance need to be travelled d = 4.3 light years
we know that 1 light year = 9.461 x 10^15 m
Distance need to be travelled d = 4.3 x 9.461 x 10^15
d = 40.6823 x 10^15 m
Time taken for the trip would elapse on a clock on board the spaceship
t = distance/ velocity
t = 40.6823 x 10^15 / 2.4 x 10^8
t = 16.95 x 10^7 sec
t = 4.71 x 10^4 hours
Explanation:
What is light year?
Light year is defined as the distance travelled by the light in one year. In a year, light travels through 300000 km per sec in the interstellar space.
