In Fig. 37-35, three spaceships are in a chase. Relative to an x axis in an inertial frame (say, Earth frame), their velocities are \(v_{A}=0.900 c, v_{B}\), \(v_B\), and \(v_{C}=0.800 c\).
(a) What value of \(v_B\) is required such that ships A and C approach ship B with the same speed relative to ship B, and
(b) what is that relative speed?

Q:In Fig. 37-35, three spaceships are in a chase. Relative to an x axis in an inertial frame(say, Earth frame), their velocities are vA =0.900c, vB, and vC =0.800c. (a) What value of vBis required such that ships A and C approach ship B with the same speed rela- tive to shipB, and (b) what is that relative speed Step by Step SolutionStep 1 of 6:We have three space ships A, B and C. Ship A and C approaches B with same velocity. Ship Aapproaches ship B from right moving in positive x direction and Ship C approaches B from Left.Thus, relative to ship B, both sh
