Question

An enemy spaceship is moving toward your starfighter with a speed, as measured in your frame, of 0.400c. The enemy ship fires a missile toward you at a speed of 0.700c relative to the enemy ship (Fig). (a) What is the speed of the missile relative to you? Express your answer in terms of the speed of light. (b) If you measure that the enemy ship is 8.00 x 10⁶ km away from you when the missile is fired, how much time, measured in your frame, will it take the missile to reach you?

Definition Definition Rate at which light travels, measured in a vacuum. The speed of light is a universal physical constant used in many areas of physics, most commonly denoted by the letter c . The value of the speed of light c = 299,792,458 m/s, but for most of the calculations, the value of the speed of light is approximated as c = 3 x 10 8 m/s.
