You are on board a spacecar that is flying at 0.500c relative to a pursuing spacemobile. When the spacemobile is 2x106 km behind you (as measured in your frame of reference), it fires a missile with a speed of 0.600c relative to the spacemobile. How many seconds, as measured in your frame, will it take the missile to hit your spacecar?
a) 7.88 s
b) 7.87 s
c) 7.78 s
d) 8.78 s

7.A spaceship is flying with a speed of 0.300c relative to the Earth. The spaceship fires a missile with a speed of 0.600c relative to it. The speed of the missile as measured by an observer on Earth is 0.763c. If we assign the spaceship as reference frame S, the missile as reference frame S', and the Earth as the "event", which of the following is correct? a) u = 0.600c; vx = 0.300c; v'x = 0.763c b) u =...

In Newtonian mechanics, velocities add in an intuitive way: so if a launcher that can launch a ball horizontally at 20 m launches a ball forward while on a car moving at 30 m/s, the ball is launched at 50 m/s relative to the ground (you could say u = vtu', where u' is the velocity of object within the reference frame moving relative to the "lab", u is the velocity of the object in the lab frame, and v...

You are flying in a light airplane spotting traffic for a radio station. Your flight carries you due east above a highway. Landmarks below tell you that your speed is 47.0 m/s relative to the ground and your air speed indicator also reads 47.0 m/s . However, the nose of your airplane is pointed somewhat south of east and the station's weather person tells you that the wind is blowing with speed 18.0 m/s . 1. In which direction is...

You are a visitor aboard the New International Space Station, which is in a circular orbit around the Earth with an orbital speed of ?o=1.10 km/svo=1.10 km/s . The station is equipped with a high velocity projectile launcher, which can be used to launch small projectiles in various directions at high speeds. Most of the time, the projectiles either enter new orbits around the Earth or eventually fall down and hit the Earth. However, as you know from your physics...
