A spaceship is moving at 0.66 c (0.66 times the speed of light) with respect to the earth. An observer on the spaceship measures the time interval between two events on earth as 38 hrs. If the spaceship had been moving with a speed of 0.94 c with respect to the earth, what would the time interval between the events have been?

Two spaceships are traveling in the same direction. With respect to an inertial frame of reference spaceship A has a speed of 0.900c. With respect to the same inertial frame spaceship B has a speed of 0.500c. Find the speed vABย of spaceship A relative to spaceship B.

A spaceship leaves Earth traveling 0.668c. A second spaceshipleaves the first spaceship at a speed of 0.860c with respect to thefirst.

a) Calculate the speed of the second ship with respect to Earth ifit is fired in the same direction the first spaceship is alreadymoving. Express as fraction of c.

b) Calculate the speed of the second ship with respect to Earth ifit is fired directly backward toward Earth. Express as fraction ofc.
