A cylindrical spaceship of length 400 m and diameter 875 m


A cylindrical spaceship of length 40.0 m and diameter 8.75 m is traveling in the direction of its cylindrical axis (length). It passes by the Earth at a relative speed of 2.34×10^8 m/s.

A) What is the length of the ship, as measured by an Earth observer measured in m?

B) What is the diameter of the ship, as measured by an Earth observer measured in m?

C) How long does it take the spaceship to travel a distance of 11.0 km according to the ship's pilot measured in micro s?

D) How long does the spaceship take to travel the same 11.0 km according to an Earth-based observer measured in micro s?
