Aspace ship in deep space approaches a space station at a constant speed of v = 0.750c, according to observers in the station. the following sequence of events is reported according to observers in the station frame. event a: at time t = 0, the ship is 16.00 light-hours from the station when it emits a laser pulse toward the station, signaling its intention to dock. event b: the station receives the signal. event c: after a pause of 0.50 h, the station emits a laser pulse signaling permission to dock. event d: the ship receives the signal and immediately begins to decelerate. event e: it arrives at rest at the station 6.00 h after event d. restrict your analysis to the station frame, in which the station defines the spatial origin. (a) construct a quantitatively accurate, spacetime diagram depicting the sequence described above. label the worldlines of the station, the ship, and the two light pulses; and the events a through e, separately tabulating their spacetime coordinates. you may use light-hours as a unit for distance if you find that more convenient than using meters. (b) compute the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ship between events d and e in si units and in g's, where 1 g is the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the earth. note: a shockproof watch can typically tolerate an acceleration of about 50g.
