An enemy spaceship, which is moving at high speed away from the planet Arrakis, fires a rocket toward the planet with a speed of 0.910 cc relative to the spaceship. (See (Figure 1).) A commander on Arrakis reports that the rocket is approaching with a speed of 0.500 cc. What is the speed of the spaceship relative to Arrakis? Express your answer as a multiple of speed of light cc.

Proper Length

The theory of special relativity explains the connection between space and time to objects that move in a straight line at a constant speed. The objects move at the speed of light. When an object approaches light speed, its mass is endless and cannot move faster than light. The most crucial postulate of Einstein's special relativity is that the laws of nature do not change in each frame of reference.
