PROBLEMS8.1. A trip to the grocery store. Tabetha needs to pick up bananas from a grocery storelocated 1200 feet from her home. She travels there at a speed of V = c. As she starts herjourney, her wristwatch, her home's wall clock, and the grocery store's wall clock all readnoon. (Tip: It will help to make four sketches: in the Earth's frame, leaving home and arrivingat the store; in Tabetha's frame, leaving home and arriving at the store.)a. How much time elapses in the Earth's frame during her journey?b. How much time does Tabetha's wristwatch tick off during this journey?c. In Tabetha's frame, the grocery store moves toward her. How far must it travel toreach her?d. Using your result for part (c) and the definitionspeed =distance traveledtime elapsedfind out how much time it takes for the grocery store to reach Tabetha. Comparewith your result from part (b).

A clock is moving at v =(4/5)c. c is the speed of light. The clock passes our clock when both clocks read t = 0. When the moving clock reads t = 30 s, what will the clocks in our frame read?
You are an astronomer on planet Tirth, which orbits a distant star. It has recently been accepted that Tirth is spherical in shape, though no one knows its size. One day, you learn that on the equinox your sun is directly overhead in the city of Tyene, located 450 kilometers due north of you. On the equinox, you go outside in Alectown and observe that the altitude of your sun is 85 ∘∘. What is the circumference of Tirth? Express your answer in kilometers to two significant figures.
James (mass 81.0 kg) and Ramon (mass 57.0 kg) are 20.0 m apart on a frozen pond. Midway between them is a mug of their favorite beverage. They pull on the ends of a light rope stretched between them. Ramon pulls on the rope to give himself a speed of 1.10 m/s. What is James's speed? It must have the proper dimensions of speed.
