a. 0.
b. decreasing.
c. constant.
d. increasing.
e. proportional to the kinetic energy of the spaceship.
Question 2
A satellite moves east, taken as the positive x axis direction, at a speed of 0.5 c and a spaceship moves toward it (to the west) at a speed of 0.8 c as measured by an observer on the Earth. The speed of the satellite measured by an observer in the spaceship is
a. 8.7 c
b. 0.21 c
c. -0.21 c
d. 0.93 c
e. -0.93 c
