An alien spaceship traveling 0.600c toward Earth launches a landing craft with an advance guard of purchasing agents. The lander travels in the same direction with a velocity 0.800c relative to the spaceship. As observed on Earth, the spaceship is 0.200 light-years from Earth when the lander is launched. (a) With what velocity is the lander observed to be approaching by observers on Earth? (b) What is the distance to Earth at the time of landcr launch, as observed by the aliens on the mother ship? (c) How long does it take the lander to reach Earth as observed by the aliens on the mother ship? (d) If the lander has a mass of 4.00 105 kg, what is its kinetic energy as observed in Earths reference frame?

Two planets are on a collision course, heading directly towards each other at 0.250c. A spaceship sent from one planet approaches the second at 0.750c as seen by the second planet. What is the velocity of the ship relative to the first planet?
A physics professor on the Earth gives an exam to her students, who are in a spacecraft traveling at speed v relative to the Earth. The moment the craft passes the professor, she signals the start of the exam. She wishes her students to have a time interval T0 (spacecraft time) to complete the exam. Show that she should wait a time interval (Earth time) of T=T01/c1+/c before sending a light signal telling them to stop. (Suggestion: Remember that it takes some time for the second light signal to travel from the professor to the students.)

An observer in a coasting spacecraft moves toward a mirror at speed v relative to the reference frame labeled by S in Figure P26.46. The mirror is stationary with respect to S. A light pulse emitted by the spacecraft travels toward the mirror and is reflected back to the spacecraft. The spacecraft is a distance d from the mirror (as measured by observers in S) at the moment the light pulse leaves the spacecraft. What is the total travel time of the pulse as measured by observers in (a) the S frame and (b) the spacecraft? Figure P26.46
