Chapter 27, Problem 34P

You’re standing on an asteroid when you see your best friend rocketing by in her new spaceship. As she goes by, you notice that the front and rear of her ship coincide exactly with the 400-m-diameter of another nearby asteroid that is stationary with respect to you. However, you happen to know that your friend’s spaceship measured 500 m long in the showroom. What is your friend’s speed relative to you?
