A spaceship is traveling with a velocity of 0.8c relative to the Earth. What is the momentum

Question:

A spaceship is traveling with a velocity of 0.8c relative to the Earth. What is the momentum of the spaceship if its mass is 5000 kg? (p  = γmv and c = 3 x 108 m/s. See table 20.1.)

table 20.1 Values of y for Different Values of Relative Speed v v = 0.010 y = 1.000 05 V V = 0.1c Y = 1.005 Y = 1.155 Y = 1.250 Y = 1.667 V - 0.5c V = 0.6c %3! V = 0.8c V = 0.9c 2.294 V
