Module 25: Combining Velocities — Problem 1

Gracie is heading along the negative xx-axis at .7c.7c. As she passes George, who is stationary, she punches sharply at him—in the negative yy-direction—with her fist moving at velocity (.7c,.6c,0)(-.7c, -.6c, 0), from his perspective. The next day, George is moving along the positive xx-axis at .7c.7c, and Gracie does exactly the same move as the day before.
