Suppose that two satellites orbit Earth in opposite directions. Each satellite has a speed of 1.50 x 104 m/s. (a) What is their relative speed as they pass, according to the classical Galilean velocity transformation equation? (b) What fractional error do you make in (a) by not using the (correct) relativistic transformation equation?
