- John, in his spaceship, observes as Sally, in her spaceship, passes him at a speed of v=0.8c. John who was born and raised on his spaceship, is 20 years old. According to Sally, how old is he? How many birthday parties should he have had and how many presents should Sally have sent him?The starship Enterprise approaches the Klingon home world with speed 0.6c relative to the planet. To announce its arrival, the Enterprise sends a message in a projectile that travels toward the planet with speed 0.4c relative to the Enterprise. At what speed does Klingon at the surface of the planet see the projectile approach? Using relativistic velocity equation.You are on Earth, and a spaceship nearby is traveling at 0.85c. By your clock, 5.50 hours have passed. You compare your clock with the one on the spaceship. How much time has elapsed, as measured by the spaceship's clock?
- A spaceship travels at 0.758c relative to Earth. If the spaceship fires a small rocket in the forward direction, how fast (relative to the ship) must it be fired for it to travel at 0.878c relative to Earth?As spaceship A moves away from the earth at 0.510c, the captain observes a second spaceship (B) moving in the same direction at a speed of 0.520c relative to A. Find the speed of B relative to the earth.A spaceship approaching an asteroid at a speed of 0.77c launches a rocket forward with a speed of 0.27c relative to the spaceship.
