An observer measures the velocity of two spaceships. One has a velocity of c/2 in the +x direction and the other has a velocity of c/2 in the +y direction. What velocity does the +x spaceship measure for the other?
Two spaceships are approaching one another, each at a speed of 0.68 c relative to a stationary observer on Earth. What speed does an observer on one spaceship record for the other approaching spaceship?
The proper length of one spaceship is three times that of another. The two spaceships are traveling in the same direction and, while both are passing overhead, an Earth observer measures the two spaceships to have the same length. If the slower spaceship is moving with a speed of 0.31c, determine the speed of the faster spaceship. c

Two spaceships approach Earth with equal speeds, as measured by an observer on Earth, but from opposite directions. A meterstick on one space- ship is measured to be 60 cm long by an occupant of the other spaceship. What is the speed of each spaceship, as measured by the observer on Earth? (A) 0.4c (B) 0.5c (C) 0.6c (D) 0.7c (E) 0.8c
Spaceships A, B, and C have the same proper length I, and according to an observer on Earth, are moving with same relativistic speed v in the +z, -, and -v direction, respectively. Find the length of each spaceship as measured by an observer in the Spaceship A.

1. Two spaceships are travelling through space when one spaceship fires a missile at the other one at 0.821c. a. What is the relative velocity of the two spaceships if the second spaceship observes the missile approaching at 0.943c? b. Are the spaceships travelling toward each other or away from each other?
Two spaceships approach each other, each moving with the same speed of 0.6c, as measured by an observer on Earth. What is the speed of one spaceship as measured by the other spaceship?
Consider inertial observer A. Observer A measures the acceleration of spaceship A. Observer A is aboard a ship that sees Spaceship A moving with a velocity of +0.4c, and accelerating at 3.6 m/s 2 The mass of Spaceship A is 2 × 10^5 kg. Calculate the thrust force (in Newtons) of the Spaceship A’s engines according to observer A, both using the classical definition of force and the relativistic definition
2. (Fully Graded)Two spaceships approach each other, each ovin with the same speed of 0.6c, as measured by an observer on Earth. What is the speed of one spaceship as measured by the other spaceship? Throughout this homework assignment, you may use c to denote the speed of light in both your work and final answers without using its numerical value. (This is actually preferred unless the problem requires the numerical value of c.)
Two spaceships A and B are exploring a new planet. Relative to this planet, spaceship A has a speed of 0.61c, and spaceship B has a speed of 0.72c. What is the ratio DA/DB of the values for the planet's diameter that each spaceship measures in a direction that is parallel to its motion?
