An astronaut on a rocket ship is headed straight for another galaxy andan observer is standing on Earth. If they both shine a flashlightsimultaneously as the rocket ship is moving away at a large speed,which of the following is true?A. The person on the rocket measures a higher velocity for the lightfrom the flashlight.B. The person on the Earth measures a higher velocity for the lightfrom the flashlight.C. They both measure the same velocity of light.D. It cannot be determined without additional information.
