Thanks can you link me to information on this Zero answer?phinds said:Zero. Always zero, regardless of how it looks to anyone not at rest in the frame of reference of that rocket.
If you are asking what is the V of the small rocket as observed by the larger rocket, then it's .6c
If you are asking what is the V of the small rocket from the FOR in which the larger rocket is moving at .75c, THEN you need to bring in the equation for relativistic addition and the answer will be some 90%+ of c

Thanks but i think i will google "Physics"phinds said:Google "Special Relativity"

Actually, "physics" is a better search term. It would be true in classical mechanics as well.phinds said:Don't know if you are being sarcastic or just silly.
No it isn't. The large rocket is moving at 0.6c and the small at 0.75c in the initial frame.phinds said:If you are asking what is the V of the small rocket as observed by the larger rocket, then it's .6c
Depending on the frame where you want to compute the velocity of the small rocket, you will get different results (naturally). You need to specify this much clearer.Axidecimal said:VTOTAL= V1 + V2/ (1 + V1 x V2/c2)
0.75 = 0.60 + V / (1 + 0.60V)
0.75 + 0.45V = 0.60 + V
0.15 = 0.55 V
V = 0.27c
The correct answer is: 0.27
ARRRGGGHHH. I need to pay closer attention. Obviously you're right, I got them backwards. Thanks for the correction.Orodruin said:No it isn't. The large rocket is moving at 0.6c and the small at 0.75c in the initial frame.
Well, yeah, but "physics" includes just a whole TON of stuff that has nothing to do with his question. He could spend months studying electricity, optics, thermodynamics, and on and on, and what would that have to do with his question?Orodruin said:Actually, "physics" is a better search term.

The velocity of a small rocket as observed from inside it is dependent on several factors such as the speed at which the rocket is launched, the direction in which it is traveling, and the forces acting upon it. Therefore, the velocity of a small rocket as observed from inside it can vary greatly and cannot be determined without specific information about the rocket's launch and trajectory.
The velocity of a small rocket can be measured from inside it using specialized instruments such as accelerometers or speedometers. These instruments can measure the acceleration and speed of the rocket and provide an accurate measurement of its velocity at any given moment.
Yes, the velocity of a small rocket can change as it travels through space due to the influence of external forces such as gravitational pull, air resistance, and thrust. These forces can cause fluctuations in the rocket's speed and direction, resulting in changes in its velocity.
The velocity of a small rocket is important to know from inside it as it can affect the safety and success of the mission. Knowing the velocity can help the crew make necessary adjustments to the rocket's trajectory and ensure that it reaches its intended destination.
Yes, the velocity of a small rocket can be controlled from inside it through the use of propulsion systems and navigation systems. These systems allow the crew to adjust the rocket's speed and direction to maintain a desired velocity and reach its destination safely.
