QUESTION:
A rocket is traveling at speed 0.9c along the x axis of frame 3. It shoots a bullet whose velocity v' (measured in the rocket's rest frame 3') is 0.9c along the y' axis of 3'. What is the bullet's velocity (magnitude and direction) as measured in 5?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
The rocket speed in is denoted by and bullets speed in which is the rest frame of the rocket is . To find the bullet speed in original lab frame we have use velocity addition rules in which travels relative to with since rocket must be still in that frame.
