g An astronaut must journey to a distant planet, which is 189 light-years from Earth. What speed will be necessary if the astron
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The value is v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The time taken to travel to the planet from earth is t = 189 \ light-years

    The  time to be spent on the ship is  t_{s} =  12 \  years

Generally speed can be obtained using the mathematical relation represented below

       t_s  =  2 * t *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2 } }

The 2 in the equation show that the trip is a round trip i.e going and coming back

=>    12 =  2 * 189 *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{(3.0*10^{8})^2 } }

=>     v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s
