An observer on the earth sees a spaceship approaching at 0.54c. The ship then launches an exploration vehicle that, according to the earth observer, approaches at 0.82c. What is the velocity of the exploration vehicle relative to the spaceship? Give your answer as a decimal fraction of c, i. e. a β factor.

The power exerted by a muscle is the product of the force exerted and the velocity of contraction. the area of which of these shaded regions represents the power exerted while a weight is lifted at maximum speed?

To place a communications satellite into a geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 22,240 mi above the surface of the earth, the satellite first is released from a space shuttle , which is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 185 mi, and then is propelled by an upper-stage booster to its final altitude. as the satellite passes through a, the booster's motor is fired to insert the satellite into an elliptic transfer orbit. the booster is again fired at b to insert the satellite into a geosynchronous orbit. knowing that the second firing increases the speed of the satellite by 4810ft/s, determine (a.) the speed of the satellite as it approaches b on the elliptic transfer orbit, (b.) the increase in speed resulting from the first firing at a.
