MY NOTESASK YOUR TEACHERYou are traveling in a spaceship at a speed of 0.52c away from Earth. For reasons of dramatic license only, you are forced to abandon ship and thus get into an escape pod and arelaunched perpendicular to the spaceship's velocity at a speed of 0.41c. Your escape pod is equipped with a radio and you use it to send out a distress call to Earth. Determine howfast (in terms of c) your distress call is traveling relative to you and relative to Earth.speed of distress call relative to you -speed of distress call relative to Earth-xCXC

An alien spaceship traveling at 0.560c toward the Earth launches a landing craft. The landing craft travels in the same direction with a speed of 0.760c relative to the mother ship (as measured by aliens on the mother ship). As measured on the Earth, the spaceship is 0.130 ly from the Earth when the landing craft is launched. (a) What speed do the Earth-based observers measure for the approaching landing craft? 0.926 C (b) What is the distance to the Earth at the moment of the landing craft's launch as measured by the aliens (mother ship)? 0.108 ly (c) What travel time is required for the landing craft to reach the Earth as measured by the aliens on the mother ship? 0.19 Your response differs from the correct answer by more than 100%. yr (d*) What travel time is required for the landing craft to reach the Earth as measured by Earth-based observers? yr (e*) What travel time is required for the landing craft to reach the Earth as measured by those on the landing craft? yr
A spaceship travels at 0.698c 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 0.942c relative to Earth?? c
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.) |c
Your 1000-m-long starship has warning lights at each end that, to you, flash simultaneously every minute. You are moving directly away from the planet Zerkon at 0.70c. To a Zerkonian, do the lights flash simultaneously? If not, which flashes first— the light at the front of your ship or the trailing one?
Imagine a spaceship approaching Earth at speed v=(0.75c) c, which sends a message capsule toward Earth at speed 0.1 00c (relative to the ship). Calculate the speed of the capsule relative to Earth in terms of c.
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. At what factor of the speed of light c is the rocket approaching the asteroid as measured by an astronaut on the asteroid?
I asked this problem already but was given the wrong solution. We are studying relativity Imagine two civilizations from different planets that have started an intergalactic war. During a space battle, a missile is shot from spaceship one toward spaceship two. The missile leaves the spaceship one at 0.960c (in spaceship one's reference frame) and approaches spaceship two at 0.752c (in spaceship two's reference frame). What is the relative velocity of the two spaceships in units of c? Hint: keep in mind that the two spaceships are approaching each other. Round your answer to three decimal places.
