A spaceship is traveling at 0.9c (90% of the speed of light) relative to Earth. A second spaceship, traveling at 0.8c relative to the first spaceship, is approaching from behind. What is the velocity of the second spaceship relative to Earth? (Assume the direction of motion is the same for both spaceships.)
