A spaceship is flying with a speed of 0.250c relative to the Earth. The spaceship fires a missile with a speed of 0.500c relative to it. What is the speed of the missile as measured by an observer on Earth? a) 0.667c b) 0.650c c) 0.866c d) 0.776c
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 =...
3. A spaceship zips past Earth at 0.600c. When the spaceship is directly overhead, it fires a missile. An observer on Earth measures that the speed of the missile is 0.900c. What is the speed of the missile relative to the spaceship?

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?
15 pts) A spaceship flying directly toward Earth at 0.7c launches a missle with a speed (measured m the spaceship) of 0.8c at an angle of 60 (measured from the spaceship and measured relative to the ship-Earth direction). What is the speed of the missle measured by people on Earth and what is the angle of the missle's trajectory relative to the ship-Earth direction as measured by people on Earth?
n11. A spaceship is moving away from an asteroid with a speed of 0.80c relative to the aster- oid. The spaceship then fires a missile with a speed of 0.50c relative to the spaceship. What is the speed of the missile measured bv astronauts on the asteroid if the missile is fired on e lozt Choose one: a) 0.30c 50c c) 0.93c Cr messle e) 0.65c 2 2 2.0 n11.

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...

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
A spaceship moves past Earth with a speed of 0.500c. As it is passing, a person on Earth measures the spaceship’s length to be 75.0 m. Determine the spaceship’s proper length. Determine the time required for the spaceship to pass a point on Earth as measured by a person on Earth and by an astronaut on board the spaceship. please show steps clearly
