A spacecraft has a nonrelativistic (or classical) momentum whose magnitude is 1.80 x 10^13 kg*m/s. The spacecraft moves at such a speed that the pilot measures the proper time interval between two events to be one-half the dilated time interval. Find the relativistic momentum of the spacecraft.

Proper time is always the time measured by an observer moving along with the clock.

Time dialation is given by:

(delta)t=(gama)(delta)t'

where: (gama)=1/{[1-(v^2)/c^2)]}^.5
t'=accelerated frame
t=stationary frame

so for your problem (gama)=1/2

i.e 1/2={[1-(v^2)/c^2)]}^.5

solve for v

Lifetime measured in the international = (2.6x10^-8) / sqrt(a million-v^2/c^2) = a million.3 x 10^-9 Distance = vt = 0.ninety 8 * 3x10^8 *a million.3 x 10^-7 = 40 8.2 kilo meters w/o time dilation: distance = 0.ninety 8 * 3 x 10^8 * 2.6 x 10^-8 = 9.6 kilo meters that different guy replaced into quite incorrect you didnt share the solutions inclusive of your friends did you................... properly with the intention to lend you a hand i might would desire to diminish off my very own jk yet with the intention to try this you'll desire to play a speedy interest of spoons whilst in the physics lab if coach significant isn't there nathan damn nathan superb questioning nevertheless, asking yahoo solutions to help us out

Clearly high school special relativity should be limited
to the framed picture of Albert Einstein hanging on the wall.

Hi. You can't. One phenomenon is that the measuring tools and clocks distort at the same ratio.
