A spaceship going away from the earth at half the speed of light fires from its nose a rocket which travels with a speed of 0.4sec with reference to the ship. The speed of the rocket with reference to earth is?

Relative velocity of rocket with respect to the ship = velocity of ship-velocity of rocket.0.4 m/s =1.5×108-vv = 1.5×108-0.4 m/sthis is the velocity of the rocket with respect to the earth is also equal to v.
