Question

1A cruiser moves away from the planet Hoth at a speed of 0.5c. A frigate follows, catching up at a speed of 0.25c as viewed from the cruiser. With what

speed does the frigate appear to be moving according to observers on the planet? You should use the relativistic velocity transformation, clearly defining all the parameters used. u^{\prime}=\frac{u-v}{1-\frac{u v}{c^{2}}}
