Imagine that a spaceship is traveling through space, and that the captain measures the length of their spaceship to be 135 m. However, when the spaceship is in close proximity to the planet Mars, a scientist on Mars measures the length of the spaceship to be 114 m. Calculate the speed of the spaceship in terms of c.
