Question: According to an observer at rest in the Earth reference frame, ship A travels in one direction at speed (0.862 c_{0}) while ship B moves
According to an observer at rest in the Earth reference frame, ship A travels in one direction at speed \(0.862 c_{0}\) while ship B moves in the opposite direction at \(0.717 c_{0}\). Ship A sends out a shuttle module \(M\) that travels to ship B at speed \(0.525 c_{0}\) relative to A. For every \(1.00 \mathrm{~s}\) that passes on \(\mathrm{M}\), how many seconds pass according to \((a)\) a clock on \(A,(b)\) a clock on \(B\), and \((c)\) a clock held by the observer on Earth?
