At starbase Faraway Point, you observe two spacecraft approaching from the same direction. The Picard approaches starbase Faraway Point with a speed of 0.806 c, and the La Forge approaches the starbase with a speed of 0.918 c. Suppose the Picard now launches a probe toward the starbase.
What velocity must the probe have relative to the Picard if it is to be at rest relative to the La Forge?
What velocity must the probe have relative to the Picard if its velocity relative to the La Forge is to be 0.100c?
For the situation described in part B, what is the velocity of the probe relative to the Faraway Point starbase?
Faraway Point starbase launches a probe toward the approaching starships. The probe has a velocity relative to the Picard of -0.918 c. The Picard approaches starbase Faraway Point with a speed of 0.806 c, and the La Forge approaches the starbase with a speed of 0.918 c. What is the velocity of the probe relative to the La Forge?
What is the velocity of the probe relative to Faraway Point starbase?
I hope you understood the problem and got your answers, If yes rate me!! or else comment for a better solutions.
