    Since the ships are moving with the same velocity in S′ before acceleration, the initial rest length in S is shortened in S′ by ′ = / due to length contraction. From the frame of S′, B starts accelerating before A and also stops accelerating before A. Due to this B will always have higher velocity than A up until the moment A is ...
