Answer:

v_{A} -v_{B}=v_{AB}\\v_{AB} =0.9c-0.5c\\v_{AB}=0.4c

Explanation:

Because the spaceships are traveling in the same direction, you should subtract the speed of spaceship A from the speed of spaceship B in order to calculate v_{AB}.

Answer:

The work done shall be 14715 Joules

Explanation:

The work done by a force 'F' in a displacement 'dy' is given by

W=m(y)g\times dy

At any position 'y' the weight shall be sum of weft of water and weight of string

\therefore m(y)=m_{water}(y)+m_{string}(y)\\\\m(y)=30(1-\frac{y}{10})+0.9y

Thus applying values we get

W=\int m(y)g\times dy\\\\W=\int_{0}^{10}(30(1-\frac{y}{10}+0.9y)\times g)dy\\\\Solving\\W=294.3\int_{0}^{10}(1-\frac{y}{10}+0.9y)dy\\\\W=14715J
