1. A ship is travelling away from Earth at .9 c relative to us.. A year (on the ship) into the journey some people get sick of space travel and decide to go back home. They leave in a shuttlecraft travelling at .8 c relative to the ship. A. How fast is the shuttlecraft moving relative to the Earth? B. How long was the ship travelling in Earth time? C. How far has the ship gone from the perspective of Earth?

A 1500kg space ship (including fuel) is travelling through space at 25m/s[away from Earth) To gain a little more speed, the rocket expels 400kg of fuel out the back of the ship at 40.5m/s[toward the Earth] The speed of the ejected fuel is measured relative to the space ship. 17. By the time all of the 400kg of fuel has been ejected, what will be the new speed of the spaceship?

Suppose a spaceship heading directly away from the Earth at 0.65c can shoot a canister at 0.25c relative to the ship
Suppose a spaceship heading directly away from the Earth at 0.65c can shoot a canister at 0.25c relative to the ship. Take the direction of motion towards Earth as positive. Randomized Variables V1 = 0.65 c V2 = 0.25 cPart (a) If the canister is shot directly at Earth, what is the ratio of its velocity as measured on Earth to the speed of light? Part (b) What about if it is shot directly away from the Earth (again, relative to c)?

The spaceship Enterprise 1 is moving directly away from earth at a velocity that an earth-based observer measures to be +0.69c. A sister ship, Enterprise 2, is ahead of Enterprise 1 and is also moving directly away from earth along the same line. The veolcity of Enterprise 2 relative to Enterprise 1 is +0.45c. What is the velocity of Enterprise 2, (in terms of c) as measured by the earth-based observer?
