Two spaceships approach each other at speeds of (0.80 c) and (0.90 c) relative to the sun.
Question:
Two spaceships approach each other at speeds of \(0.80 c\) and \(0.90 c\) relative to the sun. When they are \(5.0 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{~m}\) apart, as measured in the sun's reference frame, they each set their clocks to zero. By how much do their clocks differ at the instant they pass each other?
