Show that it is possible to outrun a light ray, if you're given a sufficient head start, and your feet generate a constant force.

A particle of mass m whose total energy is twice its rest energy collides with an identical particle at rest. If they stick together, what is the mass of the resulting composite particle? What is its velocity?

Every years, more or less, The New York Times publishes an article in which some astronomer claims to have found an object traveling faster than the speed of light. Many of these reports result from a failure to distinguish what is seen from what is observed—that is, from a failure to account for light travel time. Here’s an example: A star is traveling with speed v at an angleθto the line of sight (Fig. 12.6). What is its apparent speed across the sky? (Suppose the light signal fromb reaches the earth at a timelocalid="1656138453956" tafter the signal from a, and the star has meanwhile advanced a distancelocalid="1656138461523" sacross the celestial sphere; by “apparent speed,” I meanlocalid="1656138468709" (s/t). What anglelocalid="1656140989446" θgives the maximum apparent speed? Show that the apparent speed can be much greater than c, even if v itself is less than c.
