Question

The following image shows the motion of two spaceships and a laser fired from the yellow spaceship relative to a stationary observer. Ulight = C 0.5c Reference frame of planet-bound observer 0.5c Stationary This next image shows the same scene, but from the frame of reference of the yellow spaceship. Identify the correct velocity value at each point indicated.

Two spaceships approach the Earth from opposite directions. According to an observer on Earth, ship A is moving at a speed of 0.743c and ship B at a speed of 0.831c. What is the velocity of ship A as observed from ship B? What is the velocity of ship B as observed from ship A? Provide diagrams explaining the reference frames.

An observer on earth sees two spaceships heading toward each other in a straight line. The first ship is moving with a velocity of 0.4 C while the second ship is moving with a velocity of 0.6 C. Both velocities are measure by the observer on earth. Find the speed of the second ship as seen by an astronaut on the first ship.

Two spaceships are traveling in the same direction. With respect to an inertial frame of reference spaceship A has a speed of 0.900c. With respect to the same inertial frame spaceship B has a speed of 0.500c. Find the speed vAB of spaceship A relative to spaceship B
