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?

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 rockets A & B fly past an observer. "A" moves at constant speed 1000 m/s relative to ground, "B" moves at constant speed 1000 m/s relative to ground and opposite of rocket A. Rocket A sends light opposite to where it is heading.
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...
If one spaceship fires a missile at 0.75c at the other spaceship as it approaches and the other spaceship observes the missile approaching it at 0.96c
Consider two spaceships moving relative to each other. The relative velocity of each spaceship is the velocity the other spaceship sees it moving at. Both relative velocities are equal in magnitude (equal speeds) but opposite in direction. If one spaceship fires a missile at 0.75c at the other spaceship as it approaches and the other spaceship observes the missile approaching it at 0.96c, what is the ratio of the first spaceship's relative velocity to the speed of light? Assume the velocity...

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?...
