You are following the same path as ralfcis, ralfcis already asked this question in (http://www.scienceforums.com/topic/35098-relativity-and-simple-algebra/). The answer is your add the gamma's to find the speed or use the equation r= x+ y+ z2

 

1) A and B are traveling at γaγ or it's around like .995C

2) They are again traveling γa * γb or like 0C

3) They are traveling at γfγx2 + γy2   or ‭.933C

Can you explain the calculation process of ‭ 0.933C? What's the specific data?

 

Janus told me it is like this  w = (u+v)/(1+uv/c^2),  You told me it is γfγx2 + γy2

Use algebra, it's just substitution.

Can you write down the specific operation steps? This is very important.

They both yield the same answer.

 w = (u+v)/(1+uv/c^2), here u=? v=? 

 

Janus's answer of first question: (0.9c+0.9c)/(1+ 0.9c(0.9c)/c^2) = ~0.9945c

when i ask second question, he hasn't given an answer yet.

 

Third question:

Your answer is 0.933C, can you write out the calculation process?

 u = Vx , v = V, I just annotated them dimensionally instead in a (u,v) matrix which is the samething.

u=0.9C or -0.9C or others?

v=0.9C or -0.9C or others?

w = (u+v)/(1+uv/c^2) = (?+?)(1+??/c^2)

u = .9C

v = .9C

Vx = .9C

Vy = .9C

Janus's answer for first answer: 

Thus w( the relative velocity between ship A and B as measured by either ship) is

(0.9c+0.9c)/(1+ 0.9c(0.9c)/c^2) = ~0.9945c = 0.994475138121547C

 

but your answer is 0.933C ,why?

It was a typo, it was .994, i just rounded incorrectly.

You aren't going to get different answers the more complex you make it, special relativity is correct. I don't feel like doing that situation as it would require doing alot of alegbra to find the velocities between those object as you would have to take in account alot of trigonometry, but something like this 

γf = (γax - γbx(component))2γby(component)2

But According to special relativity, the answer should be u=21/2/2 * 0.9c, v=21/2​/2 * 0.9c, the last answer is 0.906C.

Like I have said many times Newtonian physics is wrong, learn to stop using it, those aren't velocities they are Gammas γ.

According to this theory, A and B go far away from each other. With A as the reference, B's time goes slower, and with B as the reference, A's time goes slower. We'll never know who's slower. When they meet, please tell me whose time is slower? Crazy relativity.

I am done with you crank, go bother someone else.

I'll give Janus the last shot in a minute.

 

I'm waiting for his YES.
