Question: In Figure a, particle P is to move parallel to the r and r' axes of reference frames S and S', at a certain velocity

In Figure a, particle P is to move parallel to the r and r' axes of reference frames S and S', at a certain velocity relative to frame S. Frame S' is to move parallel to the x axis of frame S at velocity v. Figure b gives the velocity u' of the particle relative to frame S' for a range of values for y. The vertical axis scale is set by ua = 0.800c.What value will u' have if

(a) v = 0.90c and

(b) v → c?
