Answer:

The problem has no physical meaning, since the spaceship cannot move faster than light

Explanation:

According to Einstein's special theory of relativity, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in vacuum, whose value is

[tex]c=3.8\cdot 10^8 m/s[/tex]

However, we see that in this problem, the spaceship is supposed to travel at a speed of

[tex]v=1.50\cdot 10^{17} m/s[/tex]

which is much larger than the value of c. This is not possible according to Einstein's theory of relativity: therefore, this problem has no physical meaning (and cannot be solved using the laws of physics as we know them, since they would violate the special relativity)
