jamesamiller / RocketConstantAcceleration.tex
Created May 21, 2020 19:59
A rocket with constant proper acceleration along its length. It could also represent three separate rockets with the same acceleration.

:Author: J A Miller, UAH Physics & Astronomy, millerja@uah.edu, 2020/05/21
Worldlines for parts of a rocket (or three separate rockets), each with the same proper acceleration.
We see that the middle and left parts of the rocket partially lie in the event horizon of the right
