 Matrix the Monkey (M2) is on Earth with is friend Chuck Norris Duck (CND). They synchronize their clocks exactly. Matrix climbs aboard is triangular space craft (see diagram) and accelerates off into space at precisely 0.987c. He does a "fly by" of the Earth where CND is able to perform some measurements. v=0.9870 50ml 120m

a) If Matrix the Monkey measures his ship to be 120m, how long would CND measure the ship to be?

b) Sketch what the ship would look like according to CND.

c) Upon arriving back to Earth, M2 checks in with CND. CND said he was gone for 45 minutes. How much time would have passed on Ma's clock?
