Speed of the exploration vehicle relative to the spaceship

Reference no: EM13663871

A spacecraft approaching the earth launches an exploration vehicle. After the launch, an observer on earth sees the spacecraft approaching at a speed of 0.35c and the exploration vehicle approaching at a speed of 0.90c. What is the speed of the exploration vehicle relative to the spaceship?
