Traveling on impulse power at 0.25c the Enterprise crew measure their forward beacon to be racing out ahead of them at a speed of (1)0.25c(3) 1.00c (2)0.75c(4) 1.25c

The Borg ship is fleeing at 0.50 c. Pursuing at 0.75 c, the Enterprise fires its phasers ( intense, high energy light beams ) directly on target. Borg instruments measure the beam as racing toward them at (1)0.25c (3) 1.00c (5) 1.50c (2)0.75c (4) 1.25c (6) 1.75c
5
If we play catch, and I jogged toward you at 10 mi/hr and you tossed a softball at my direction at 40 mi/hr with what relative speed do I catch it?
6
Two supersonic jet fighters pass each other traveling 600 m/sec in opposite directions. What relative speed do they sense of one another? Escape velocity needed by a rocket is 11200 m/sec. Imagine 2 passing rockets each traveling this fast. What is their relative speed to one another?
8
(3) 1.00c The speed of light in a vacuum is an invariant for all observers of any inertial frame.
