The question should be a lot clearer but this was not of my exact making. Its lack of clearity is why i posted it here. I always seem to get questions like these on my tests to make sure i cannot receive 100%. Non of my lessons have practice problems as such. I believe you should be trained for...

If the total relativistic velocity of small rocket is 0.75c after being launched from a larger rocket traveling at 0.60c, what is the velocity of the smaller rocket as observed from inside it?
Can someone put this in layman's for me please. I solved many relativistic...
I just copied the equations from wiki to this platform but i now have come to realize they are the same.
This is pretty self explanatory. i was given equations from my lessons that were essentially the same but all look different so i got confused. I didnt even look at the wiki equations closely...
l'/lo = √{1-v^2/c^2}
(l'/lo)^2 = 1-v^2/c^2
1-(l'/lo)^2 = v^2/c^2
√{1-(l'/lo)^2} = v/c
c√{1-(l'/lo)^2} = v
