Two rockets of rest length L approach each other with equal speeds of 0.4c. How long would one rocket appear to the other?​

Answer»

Explanation: In this CASE V = 0.4c and uₓ = -0.4cSo the RELATIVE  speed of the rocket is from the FORMULA U'ₓ = uₓ - v / 1- vuₓ/c² U'ₓ = -0.4c - 0.4c / 1- (0.4c -0.4c) /c²  U'ₓ = - 1.6c / 1 + 0.61 U'ₓ = 1.6c / 1.61 U'ₓ= 0.9937c
