Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Motion Along a Straight Line: Problem 100
Travel to a star. How much time would be required for a starship to reach Proxima Centauri, the star closest to the Sun, at a distance of \(L = 4.244\) light years (ly)? Assume that it starts from rest, maintains a comfortable acceleration magnitude of \(1.000g\) for the first \(0.0450\) y and a deceleration (slowing) magnitude of \(1.000g\) for the last \(0.0450\) y, and cruises at constant speed in between those periods.
π Solution Approach
Given: 1.000g
