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?
Finding time to hit space car by missile which is 2x106 km far from the missile.

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 =...
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 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
just do a, cant reward more than 300 points, i will make the other part seperate so each will be 300 An enemy spaceship is moving in pursuit of your starcruiser with a speed. as measured in your frame, of 0.40c The enemy ship fires a later-guided missile towards you at a speed of 0.70c relative to the enemy ship, What is the speed of the missile relative to you? If you measure that the enemy ship it 8.0 x...
A rectangular board, having a length twice its width when measured at rest, is on board a spaceship that is flying with a relativistic speed. If an observer on Earth sees that the board is a square, how fast is the spaceship flying? a) 0.500c b) 0.866c c) 0.978c d) 0.750c
In Newtonian mechanics, velocities add in an intuitive way: so if a launcher that can launch a ball horizontally at 20 m launches a ball forward while on a car moving at 30 m/s, the ball is launched at 50 m/s relative to the ground (you could say u = vtu', where u' is the velocity of object within the reference frame moving relative to the "lab", u is the velocity of the object in the lab frame, and v...
A bomber is flying horizontally over level tain, with a speed of 295 m/s relative to the ground, at an altitude of 3000 m. Neglect the effects of air resistance (a) How far will a bomb travel horizontally between its release from the plane and its impact on the ground? (b) If the plane maintains its original course and speed, where will it be when the bomb hits the ground? O behind the bomb O directly above the bomb O...
A bomber is flying horizontally over level terrain, with a speed of 300 m/s relative to the ground, at an altitude of 3100 m. Neglect the effects of air resistance. (a) How far will a bomb travel horizontally between its release from the plane and its impact on the ground? (b) If the plane maintains its original course and speed, where will it be when the bomb hits the ground? directly above the bomb behind the bomb ahead of the bomb (c) At what angle from...
cant seem to figure out how to do Q iii onwards... Question 6 [3+2+3+ 5+2+2 + 2 +2 21 marks] Sherlock Duck v0.95c Billy and Wyatt courtesy of http://www.designedtoat.com/freegraphics.htm Billy and Wyatt are playing laser tag at the OK Laser Tag Centre. Sherlock Duck is flying past in a very fast rocket travelling at 0.95c relative to the reference frame of Billy and Wyatt. The accompanying figure depicts the view from Sherlock Duck's reference frame where Billy, Wyatt and the...
