Special Relativity

The theory of special relativity discusses how space and time are related to objects traveling along a straight line at a constant speed. Simply stated, as an object reaches the speed of light, its mass becomes infinite and it is unable to move faster than light. This interstellar speed limit has been the topic of much debate in astronomy, and also in science fiction when people consider how to fly over large distances.

A worker pushes a 35.0-kg package on a horizontal roller-belt conveyor until it reaches a certain speed. The package then coasts on the horizontal conveyor, all the while slowing down, until it comes to a complete stop after moving 1.20 m.

Use the WET to find the speed of the package after the worker pushes it and just as it begins to coast. 0.625 m/s 0.759 m/s 0.600 m/s 0.510 m/s 0.802 m/s 0.641 m/s
