2. A spaceship moving 0.80c direction away from Earth fires a missile that the spaceship measures to be moving at 0.80c perpendicular to the ship’s direction of travel. Find the velocity components and speed of the missile as measured from Earth.

Taking the direction of the spaceship as the x-axis.

And the direction of the missile perpendicular to the spaceship's motion as the y-axis.

Velocity of the missile as measured from the earth = (0.8cî + 0.48cj)

Speed of the missile relative to Earth = 0.93c

Explanation:

The solution to this question is presented in the attached image to this answer.

the design of a ski jumping suit involves a trade-off between giving the skiers lift to get higher jumps and ensuring the skier does not face a lot of drag before the jump itself. an expansive suit may to lift the skier higher, but at the same time, it will also increase the air resistance. higher air resistance as the skier goes down the slope limits the speed of the jump. a big suit also increases the risk of losing balance or control, especially if there's a strong gust of wind. while technologically enhanced suits a lot, clothing is not the only factor in a ski jumper’s success. gathering speed while skiing down the slope, ensuring good speed on the ramp, and maintaining good body posture and form in the air all contribute to a ski jumper's success.
