A spaceship in distress sends out two escape pods in opposite directions. One travels at a speed v1 = + 0.70 cin one direction, and the other travels at a speed v2 = − 0.64 c in the other direction, as observed from the spaceship.
What speed does the first escape pod measure for the second escape pod? (unit = c)

A spaceship in distress sends out two escape pods in opposite directions. One travels at a speed v1 = 0.486c in one direction, and the other travels at a speed v2 = 0.913c in the opposite direction, as observed from the spaceship. What speed (in a multiple of c) does an observer in the first escape pod measure for the second escape pod?
A spaceship in distress sends out two escape pods in opposite directions. One travels at a speed v1 v 1 = + + 0.50 c c in one direction, and the other travels at a speed v2 v 2 = − − 0.72 c c in the other direction, as observed from the spaceship. Part A What speed does the first escape pod measure for the second escape pod?
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?
Two spaceships leave Earth in opposite directions, each with a speed of 0.70 c with respect to Earth. What are the velocities of spaceship 1 relative to spaceship 2 and spaceship 2 relative to spaceship 1? Take the positive direction to be the direction of motion of spaceship 1.
You are standing on the ground observing the sky. Two spaceships A and B fly past you. Spaceship A is moving at a constant speed of 1000 m/s relative to the ground. Spaceship B is moving opposite to A at speed of 1000 m/s relative to the ground. Spaceship A fires a strobe light that sends out a pulse of light opposite to where it is heading. a) What is the velocity of spaceship A relative to spaceship B? b) What is...
Problem 1 An object of mass m1 travels through empty space at a constant speed until it strikes and sticks to a second object. As observed from the frame where the second object is motionless, the first object was traveling at a speed of vi. In that same frame, both objects travel at a speed of v after the collision. a. What is the general expression for the mass of the second object in terms of mi, vi, and v?...
Two cyclists start at the same point and travel in opposite directions. One cyclist travels 9 /kmh slower than the other. If the two cyclists are 265 km apart after 5 hours, what is the rate of each cyclist?
Two astronauts on opposite ends of a spaceship are comparing lunches. One has an apple, the other has an orange. They decide to trade. Astronaut 1 tosses the 0.125 kg apple toward astronaut 2 with a speed of vi,1 = 1.15 m/s . The 0.160 kg orange is tossed from astronaut 2 to astronaut 1 with a speed of 1.20 m/s . Unfortunately, the fruits collide, sending the orange off with a speed of 1.02 m/s in the negative y...
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 astronauts on opposite ends of a spaceship are comparing lunches. One has an apple, the other has an orange. They decide to trade. Astronaut 1 tosses the 0.110 kg apple toward astronaut 2 with a speed of Vi,1 = 1.07 m/s. The 0.170 kg orange is tossed from astronaut 2 to astronaut 1 with a speed of 1.18 m/s. Unfortunately, the fruits collide, sending the orange off with a speed of 0.833 m/s in the negative y direction. Before...
