part c) Lets's imagine that instead of an airplane, Casey and Matt are on a rocketship, traveling at 93% of the speed of light. Additionally, Casey and Matt have been training very hard and so can toss the ball incredibly fast. If Casey throws the ball to Matt at 25% of the speed of light, relative to the rocket, then what speed will Myles see the ball move at?   part d) Did you use Galilean Relativity or Special Relativity to compute the speeds in part a-c? Why did you choose to use the equation you chose for each part? Would you have gotten different answers if you chose Galilean Relativity vs Special Relativity?

I solved for part a and part b which asked part a) The plane flies at 554 miles per hour, relative to the skyscraper. If Casey throws the ball to Matt at 23 miles per hour, relative to the plane, then what speed will Myles see the ball move at? (I got speed of 577 miles per hour). For part b they asked "Matt subsequently tosses the ball back to Casey, at 25 miles per hour. What speed does Myles see the ball move at? (I got 529 mph)

 

now I need help with part c and part d.

Matt and Casey are on an airplane, flying to the national lacrosse competition. Much to the dismay of the passengers and flight attendants, Matt and Casey decide to practice during the flight, tossing the ball back and forth. Matt is at the front of the plane, while Casey is at the back, as shown below. Meanwhile, Myles is standing on the roof of a skyscraper, watching the plane fly past. Casey Ball ман V
