Question

8. - points SerPSE10 38.6.OP.017.MI. My Notes A rocket moves with a velocity of 0.816c to the right with respect to a stationary observer A. An observer B moving relative to observer A finds that the rocket is moving with a velocity of 0.924c to the left. What is the velocity of observer B relative to observer A? (Hint: Consider observer B's velocity in the frame of reference of the rocket. Give your answer to three significant figures. Let the positive direction be to the right. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) Need Help? Read Masters

Answer 1

Then , V RA = 0.816 c

V RB = -0.924 c

Solutions givendata; Velocity of rocket relative toA, VRA=0.816C Velocity of rocket relative to B, VRB =-0.924 E-VBR, the relativistic velocity of B relative to Ais, then use formula, VBA = VBR TURA 1 + VBR VRA ' l C3 YBA = - VRB + VRA - - VRBURA since URB =- VBR qual a so post in the values, VBA= -(- 0.924c) + 0.8166 1-(-0.924) (0.8160) C3 | UBA= 0.992.c - -* Aus I hope help you!! -
