Suggest 2 design features to overcome the negatice effects of one of these 3:

Mass Increase
Time Dilation
Length Contraction

Which follow our current physics laws


Hmm Gay question ey? Help anyone?

basically all these features are a result of high speeds close to c

basically u need to "slow" down the rocket to reduce these factors

so 2 factors cud b

1. retrofiring rockets to slow the rocket down
2. blunt belly such that there is a greater surface area in contact with particles in space which can slow the rocket down by friction

i guess u cud also say ellipse braking [altering rocket's path] but this isnt really a design feature

what could be a suitable velocity to travel in space which will not increase your mass too much but still provide a quick time to a given destination?

Also....What is an advantage for mass increase in the dot point

DISCUSS the implications of mass increase, time dilation and length contraction

I can only find disadvantages
