Galaxy A moves away from galaxy B at 0.700 c0 relative to B. A spaceship leaves a planet in galaxy A traveling at 0.550 c0 relative to galaxy A. If the direction in which the ship travels is the same as the direction in which A is moving away from B, what do observers in B measure for the ship's speed?
Homework Answers
The addition law in relativistic speed is also called a composition law for velocities. For collinear motions, the velocity of the sheep relative to observer in galaxy Bis given by
Observed speed,
s = v*u/(1+v*u/c^2)
= 0.55 c*0.70 c / (1+.55c*.70c/c^2)
=0.9025 c.

A spaceship at rest on the earth has a length of 120m and a mass of 16,000kg. Then the spaceship begins to move away from the earth at 3/4 speed of light. If the spaceship sends out a second ship away from the earth on what observers on the spaceship think is 1/2 speed of light, how fast do the observers on earth think the second ship is moving? If the spaceship sends out a second ship toward the earth...
