The spaceship Enterprise 1 is moving directly away from earth at a velocity that an earth-based observer measures to be 0.62c. A sister ship, Enterprise 2, is ahead of Enterprise 1 and is also moving directly away from earth along the same line. The veolcity of Enterprise 2 relative to Enterprise 1 is 0.30c. What is the velocity of Enterprise 2

Sagot :

Answer:

The answer is "0.92 c"

Explanation:

[tex]v_1\ (earth) = 0.62 \ c \\\\v_2\ ( enterprise ) = -0.30[/tex]

so,

[tex]v_2 \ (earth) = 0.62 \ c - (-0.30 \ c) \\\\[/tex]

               [tex]= 0.62 \ c +0.30 \ c\\\\= 0.92 \ c[/tex]
