- The proper length of one spaceship is three times that of another. The two spaceships are traveling in the same direction and, while both are passing overhead, an Earth observer measures the two spaceships to have the same length. If the slower spaceship has a speed of 0.354c with respect to Earth, determine the speed of the faster spaceship. (Give your answer to at least 3 significant figures.) |cTwo rockets, A and B, approach the earth from opposite directions at speed 0.800c.
