Two jets of material from the center of a radio galaxy fly away in opposite directions. Both
jets move at 0.328 c relative to the galaxy. Determine the magnitude of the velocity of
one jet relative to the other. Correct answer: 0.59228 c.

3) Two particles fly apart in opposite directions in a laboratory. Particle A travels to the left at speed 0.06c, and particle B travels to the right at speed 0.09c (both speeds are relative to the laboratory). We wish to calculate the relative velocity of particles A and B using the Galilean transformation. a) Using a figure, show which object in this scenario defines the Home frame and which object defines the Other frame. [Hint: Be careful - in the...
Two spaceships move away from the earth in opposite directions. spaceship A moves in one direction at 0.8c spaceship B the exact opposite direction also at 0.8c. What is the speed of spaceship B as measured by A and what is the speed of spaceship A as measured by B?
4. Spaceships A and B move in opposite directions at the same speed of 0.780c relative to earth, with A moving away from earth and B moving toward earth. Find the velocity of B relative to A. _______________ c
Two electrons are ejected in opposite directions from a radioactive material at rest in the laboratory. Each electron has a speed of 0.8c as measured by a laboratory observer. What is the speed of one electron as measured by the other? Write 4-momentum equations and comment about invariant property of 4-momentum.

Two protons fly in different directions and collide. They both have a total energy of 1.5 GeV, but have the opposite direction so that the mass center is at rest for an observer in the laboratory. What are the protones velocities seen from the laboratory?
According to Hubble's Law the velocity v of a galaxy moving away from Earth is proportional to its distance from Earth. Consider two galaxies one of which is twice as far away as the other from Earth at some instant of time (i.e. the ratio of their distances from Earth is 2 to 1). At subsequent times the ratio of their distances to Earth will be:
Two cars A and B approach each other in two adjacent lanes of a linear track in opposite directions, as shown in the figure. at t = 0s, A and B are at D = 21m away, the car A departs from rest and moves with a constant acceleration of aA = 2m / s ^ 2 and auto B moves with constant velocity of Vb = 4m / s. a) find the position based on time for both cars,...
Two persons both walk at a speed of 4 miles per hour. In an airport, the two walkers pass each other in opposite directions on moving walkways that run at 6 miles per hour. What is the magnitude of the velocity of one walker relative to the other?
