I was doing a relative velocity question about a police spaceship chasing another spaceship and I’m really not sure what I’m doing wrong.
I found the velocity of the police spaceship to be 2.63km/s and velocity of the spaceship to be 2.5km/s and was told the distance between them was 3000km. I was asked to find how long it would take for the police car to catch up.
What I did was find the velocity of the police spaceship relative to the spaceship (which is 0.13km/s) and did the distance/velocity to find the time, not sure why that’s not working.
