Consider two spaceships moving relative to each other. The relative velocity of each spaceship is the velocity the other spaceship sees it moving at. Both relative velocities are equal in magnitude (equal speeds) but opposite in direction.

Required:
If one spaceship fires a missile at 0.745c at the other spaceship as it approaches and the other spaceship observes the missile approaching it at 0.93c. What is the ratio of the first spaceship's relative velocity to the speed of the light.

The force acting on a beam was measured under the same operating conditions and a sample of 5 data points was collected. this process was repeated by 3 observers. the pooled standard deviations of these 3 data sets was 1.21. determine the true mean force using all pooled data (with a 95% probability). the result should look like this: true mean = mean +/- margin of error
