Page 1439 question 37.19
A pursuit spacecraft from the planet Tatooine is attempting to catch up with a Trade Federation cruiser. As measured by an observer on Tatooine, the cruiser is traveling away from the planet with a speed of 0.6c. The pursuit ship is traveling at a speed 0.8c relative to Tatooine, in the same direction as the criser. What is the speed of the cruiser relative to the pursuit ship?

A rep point for whoever posts the correct answer.

Are there any suspicious looking extra moons in the system...?! :D

unless you're looking at an incredibly large mass (i.e. a black hole), these distortions are unbeleivably small, and so rather difficult to spot.

Thank you for trying to explain mate...

That's an interesting thread resurrection.

In reality it took 10 years. Still, I've seen many worse predictions on CF ;)

This might explain it better Maggy.

After 16 years, her brain has probably recovered. :)
