To determine

The kinetic energy of the rocket using the Einsteinian formula and the ordinary Newtonian formula. What is the percent error if we use the Newtonian formula if a 1000-kg rocket is flying at 0.90c relative to your lab? Does the Newtonian formula overestimate or underestimate the kinetic energy?

3. • A futuristic spaceship flies past Pluto with a speed of 0.964c relative to the surface of the planet. When the spaceship is directly overhead at an altitude of 1500 km, a very bright sig- nal light on the surface of Pluto blinks on and then off. An observer on Pluto measures the signal light to be on for 80.0 us. What is the duration of the light pulse as measured by the pilot of the spaceship?
