Problem 4 – Hint 1

This problem can be solved by brute force approach by applying multiple Lorentz boosts in sequence. However, it can be also solved by using 4-invariants for the 4-velocities of the spaceship. The latter method is mathematically shorter. Be careful in your calculations as the relativistic addition of non-parallel velocities is not commutative.
