The Starship Enterprise is traveling away from Epsilon Prime at 0.95c. The

Enterprise launches a shuttlecraft, that is moving at 0.80c relative to the Enterprise, in the

forward direction. The shuttlecraft launches a probe moving in the forward direction at

0.70c relative to the shuttlecraft.

a. What is the velocity, in terms of the speed of light, of the shuttlecraft relative to Epsilon Prime?

b. What is the velocity, in terms of the speed of light, of the probe relative to the Enterprise?

c. What is the velocity, in terms of the speed of light, of the probe relative to Epsilon Prime?

The Starship Enterprise returns from warp drive to ordinary space with a forward speed of 56 km/s . To the crew's great surprise, a Klingon ship is 150 km directly ahead, traveling in the same direction at a mere 21 km/s . Without evasive action, the Enterprise will overtake and collide with the Klingons in just about 4.3 s . The Enterprise's computers react instantly to brake the ship. What magnitude acceleration does the Enterprise need to just barely avoid...

A 740-kg two-stage rocket is traveling at a speed of 6.40×10^3 m/s away from Earth when a predesigned explosion separates the rocket into two sections of equal mass that then move with a speed of 2.30×10^3 m/s relative to each other along the original line of motion. Part A: What is the speed of each section (relative to Earth) after the explosion? Part B: What are the direction of each section (relative to Earth) after the explosion? a) both away...
