What do they measure for this velocity? A) Ship A measures it as less than c, and ship B measures it as greater than c.
B) Ship B measures it as less than c, and ship A measures it as greater than c.
C) On both ships it is measured to be less than c.
D) On both ships it is measured to be exactly c.
E) On both ships it is measured to be greater than c.
