3. A spaceship is travelling toward a target with relative speed 0.5c. a) The spaceship fires a gun with muzzle velocity 0.9c with respect to the gun. What is the speed of the bullet relative to the target? b) If the spaceship fired photons instead of bullets, how fast would the photons be moving relative to the target?
