Question 1

In an "atom smasher," two particles collide head on at relativistic speeds. If the velocity of the first particle is 0.741c to the left, and the velocity of the second particle is to the right (both as measured in the lab rest frame), how fast are the particles moving with respect to each other?
◦ 1.284c
◦ 0.834c
◦ 0.916c
◦ 0.934c

Question 2

As shown in the figure, the captain of spaceship A observes spaceship E escaping with a relative velocity of 0.35c. A missile M is fired from ship A directly toward ship E, with a velocity of 0.76c relative to ship A. What does the captain of ship E measure for the velocity of the missile M?



◦ 0.56c
◦ 0.41c
◦ 0.48c
◦ 0.52c
◦ 0.45c
