Rocket A leaves a space station with a speed of 0.80c. Later, rocket B leaves in the same direction with a speed of 0.50c. What the velocity of rocket A is as observed from rocket B?
Homework Answers
This problem can be solved using the relativistic velocity
addition formula. The velocity of rocket A with respect to rocket B
(or as observed from rocket B) turns out to be 0.5 c. Detailed
solution given below. Ask me if you have any doubts. Feedback will
be helpful.

A rocket leaves a space station in the positive-x direction and a laser-produced beam of light is sent out from the space station in the positive-y direction i.e. the rocket and the light beam leave the space station along perpendicular paths. Measured relative to the space station, the rocket moves at 0.6c. What is the velocity and speed of the light beam as observed by an observer in the rocket? *Please do not just answer with the speed of light,...

A. A rocket is travelling in space with a speed of 0.6c away from the origin along the negative x-axis. A second rocket passes by the first. The second rocket has speed 0.6c, heading in a direction in the x-y plane at an angle of 40° above the positive x-axis. Find the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the second rocket as measured in the rest frame of the first rocket.

1. The following is a one-dimensional problem. A rocket in outer space is blasting its engines so that it has a constant acceleration of 14.0 m/s in the x-direction. At a specific time, the rocket is observed to have a velocity of 33.0 m/s in the x-direction. At a second time 2.90 seconds later, the rocket is observed again. (a) What is the magnitude of the rocket's velocity (in meters/sec) at this second time? (b) How much did the rocket...

Mass of station is 3.8X106
Suppose once again that the space station begins at rest, not
rotating. This time, instead of using rocket engines attached to
the spherical end modules, we will have small probes periodically
launched from two points on the rod-shaped part of the station as
shown. The probes will launch in pairs in opposite directions, each
individual probe of identical mass 1287 kg and launched at a speed
of 15900 m/s with respect to the space station....
