Answer:

t'=1.1897 μs
Explanation:
First we will calculate the velocity of micrometeorite relative to spaceship.
Formula:

where:
v is the velocity of spaceship relative to certain frame of reference = -0.82c (Negative sign is due to antiparallel track).
u is the velocity of micrometeorite relative to same frame of reference as spaceship = .82c (Negative sign is due to antiparallel track)
u' is the relative velocity of micrometeorite with respect to spaceship.
In order to find u' , we can rewrite the above expression as:


u'=0.9806c
Time for micrometeorite to pass spaceship can be calculated as:

(c = 3*10^8 m/s)


t'=1.1897 μs
consider east-west direction along X-axis and north-south direction along Y-axis
= velocity of migrating robin relative to air = 12 j m/s
(where "j" is unit vector in Y-direction)
= velocity of air relative to ground = 6.3 i m/s
(where "i" is unit vector in X-direction)
= velocity of migrating robin relative to ground = ?
using the equation
=
+ 
= 12 j + 6.3 i
= 6.3 i + 12 j
magnitude : sqrt((6.3)² + (12)²) = 13.6 m/s
direction : tan⁻¹(12/6.3) = 62.3 deg north of east
