Space craft is to travelat a constant velocity

Reference no: EM13649114

Suppose you are planning a trip in which a space craft is to travelat a constant velocity for exactly eightmonths, as measured by a clock on board the spacecraft, and thenreturn home at the same speed. Upon return, the people on earth will have aged exactly one hundred years.According to special relativity, how fast must you travel? (Express your answer to at least 5 significant figures as a multiple ofc -- for example, 0.95585c.)
