At starbase Faraway Point, you observe two spacecraftapproaching from the same direction. The Picard approaches starbaseFaraway Point with a speed of 0.806 c, and the La Forge approachesthe starbase with a speed of 0.918 c. Suppose the Picard nowlaunches a probe toward the starbase.
What velocity must the probe have relative to thePicard if it is to be at rest relative to the LaForge?
What velocity must the probe have relative to thePicard if its velocity relative to the La Forgeis to be 0.100c?
For the situation described in part B, what is the velocity ofthe probe relative to the Faraway Point starbase?
Faraway Point starbase launches a probe toward the approachingstarships. The probe has a velocity relative to the Picardof -0.918 c. The Picard approaches starbase Faraway Pointwith a speed of 0.806 c, and the La Forge approaches thestarbase with a speed of 0.918 c. What is the velocity of the proberelative to the La Forge?
What is the velocity of the probe relative to Faraway Pointstarbase?
