Payload travelling from the reference frame of the earth

Reference no: EM13889835

A rocket passing by the Earth at a speed of 0.99c jettisons a payload in the opposite direction at a speed of 0.8c relative to the rocket.

Part A - At what velocity is the payload travelling from the reference frame of the Earth?

v=-0.999c

v=0.999c

v=-0.913c

v=0.913 c

v=0.106c

v = -0.106c
