How to Solve the Special Relativity Time Dilation Equation for Velocity A Mathematical Puzzle

Here is the equation to start with

Put in the numbers you want. Note that t0 is the ship time, and t is the time for the stationary observer

Now, switch the two terms by cross multiplying 15

Now, switch the two terms by cross multiplying

15 Now, switch the two terms by cross multiplying

Now, square both sides

Simplify

And convert to a decimal

Add to both sides

Simplify

Subtract from both sides

Simplify

Take the square root of both sides

Cross multiply the c

You can leave this as your answer OR

Convert to a velocity in m/s
