To solve the problem of how long a person lives in the Earth frame while traveling at 60% of the speed of light, we will use the concept of time dilation from the theory of relativity. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the given values - The average lifespan of the person in their rest frame (proper time, \( t_0 \)) is 100 years. - The speed of the spaceship is 60% of the speed of light (\( v = 0.6c \)). ### Step 2: Write the time dilation formula The time dilation formula is given by: ...

Lennon has 6 hours to spend in Ha Ha Tonka state park. He plants to drive around the park at an average speed of 20 miles per hour, looking for a good trail to hike. Once he finds a trail he likes, he will spend the remainder of his time hiking it. He hopes to travel more than 60 miles total while in the park. If he hikes at an average speed of 1.5 miles per hour, which of the following system of inequalities can be solved for the number of hours Lennon spends driving d, and the number of hours he spends hiking,h, while he is at the park?
