• * * You embark on a round-trip journey to a star 11 light-years away, as measured in Earth's reference frame. You travel at a constant speed outbound, turn around rapidly, and travel back at constant speed.
If the round trip takes 15 years by your clock, (a) how fast do you travel and (b) what s the round-trip time as measured on Earth!
- Long Trips at Constant Acceleration: Spaceship Time. Con-
sider again the spaceship from Problem 55 on a long trip
with a constant acceleration of 1g. As long as the ship is gone
from Earth for many years, the amount of time that passes on
the spaceship during the trip turns out to be approximately
20
g × D
tship
In
where D is the distance to the destination and In stands
for the natural logarithm (which you can calculate with the
"In" key on most scientific calculators). If D is in meters,
g = 9.8 m/s², and c = 3 × 10° m/s, the answer will be in
units of seconds. Use the formula to determine how much time
will pass on the ship during its trip to a star that is 500 light-
years away. Compare this to the amount of time that will pass
on Earth. (Hint: Be sure you convert the distance from light-
years to meters and your answer from seconds to years.)

(b) If you extrapolate back in time, how long ago would all of the galaxies have been at approximately the same position? The two parts of this problem give you some idea of how the Hubble constant for universal expansion and the time back to the Big Bang are determined, respectively.
