Homework Statement
Adithya is in a rocket with proper acceleration a0 = 3.00 × 108 m/s2 to the right, and Eddie is in a rocket with proper acceleration a02 to the left. Let the frame of Adithya’s rocket be S1, and the frame of Eddie’s rocket be S2. Initially, both rockets are at rest with respect to each other, and Adithya’s clock and Eddie’s clock are both set to 0.
- 1 At the moment Adithya’s clock reaches 0.75 s in S2, what is the
velocity of Adithya’s rocket in S2?
- 2 At the moment Adithya’s clock reaches 0.75 s in S2, what is the
acceleration of Adithya’s rocket in S2?
Relevant Equations
a0 = 3.00 × 108 m/s2

You need to show us your best attempt at solving this problem. I guess you are studying SR, so you need to apply what you've learned.

Sounds to me like you are asking for us to help you cheat on that exam. That's not how PF works -- here you are required to show your work on the problem before we can offer tutorial help.

It isn't what we do on this site. We can help you learn but not to cheat!
