(choose chapter or problem)

Referring to Example 294 The Picard approaches starbase Faraway Point with a speed of 0.806c, and the La Forge approaches the starbase with a speed of 0.906c. Suppose the Picard now launches a probe toward the starbase. (a) What velocity must the probe have relative to the Picardif it is to be at rest relative to the La Forge?(b)What velocity must the probe have relative to the Picard if its velocity relative to the La Forge is to be 0.100c?(c)For the situation described in part (b), what is the velocity of the probe relative to the Faraway Point starbase?
