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
