Part 1: Impossible Statements Which of the following statements are IMPOSSIBLE? Choose all that are. The rocket's speed was measured to be 0.15c. The rocket's rest length is 685 m. An observer flying by measured the rocket to be 185 m long. A rocket flying away from the Sun at 0.53c measured the speed of the photons (particles of light) emitted by the Sun to be c. An inertial reference frame had an acceleration of 3 m/s². The proper time interval between two events was measured to be 237 s. The time interval between the same two events (as measured by an observer not in the proper frame) was 167 s. Part 2: True Statements Which of the following statements are TRUE? Choose all that are. The Lorentz factor, y, has a range that extends from zero to infinity. The range for the velocity of an object extends from 0 m/s to the speed of light. The elapsed time between two events (as seen in any frame) can never be less than the proper time for those two events. An object's length (as seen in…
