Two spaceships are observed from earth to be approaching each other along a straight line. Ship A moves at 0.40c relative to the earth observer, while ship B moves at 0.60c relative to the same observer. What speed does the captain of ship A report for the speed of ship B

0.80 c

Explanation:

The computation of speed is shown below:-

Here, The speed of the captain ship A report for speed of the ship B which is

where

indicates the speed of the ship A

indicates the speed of the ship B

and

C indicates the velocity of life

now we will Substitute 0.40c for A and 0.60 for B in the equation which is

after solving the above equation we will get

0.80 c

So, The correct answer is 0.80c

that would be b i just took the test : )
