Question
Spaceship A moves away from Earth at a speed vA = 0.744c (see figure). Spaceship B pursues at a speed vB = 0.864c relative to Earth. Observers on Earth see B overtaking A at a relative speed of 0.120c. With what speed is Bovertaking A as seen by the crew of spaceship B? Spaceship A moves away from Earth at a speed vA = 0.744c (see figure). Spaceship B pursues at a speed vB = 0.864c relative to Earth. Observers on Earth see B overtaking A at a relative speed of 0.120c. With what speed is Bovertaking A as seen by the crew of spaceship B?Explanation / Answer
(0.864-0.744)/(1-0.864*0.744)=0.33596*c
