Question
A spacecraft A passes spacecraft B at moment t
=
() as measured on from Earth's frame. Spacecraft A travels at a speed of
0.8c in the positive x direction, and B travels at a speed of 0.6c also in the positive x direction.
After 4 seconds, according to A's reference frame, a pulse of light is emitted from spacecraft A to spacecraft B.
a. Assuming the spacecrafts are moving on the same line, what is the speed of spacecraft A as measured from the frame of
reference of spacecraft B? (Give the answer in units of c)
0.38
b) How much time (in seconds) in the frame of reference of spacecraft B passes from the moment the spacecrafts pass each
other until the pulse is received in spacecraft B?
