- A boy on a skateboard coasts along at 5 m/s. He has a ball that he can throw at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the ball’s speed relative to the ground if he throws the ball (a) forward or (b) backward?As the drawing shows, a carpenter on a space station has constructed a 30.0° ramp. A rocket moves past the space station with a relative speed of 0.743c in a direction parallel to side x. What does a person aboard the rocket measure for the angle of the ramp? 30.0°A laser pointer is placed on a platform that rotates at a rate of 19 revolutions per minute. The beam hits a wall 8 m away, producing a dot of light that moves horizontally along the wall. Let 0 be the angle between the beam and the line through the searchlight perpendicular to the wall. How fast is this dot moving when 0 = Wall π ? 6 8 m Laser (Use decimal notation. Give your answer to one decimal place.) velocity of the dot: m/min
- A rocket cruising past earth at 0.500 ⋅c⋅c shoots a bullet out the back door, opposite the rocket's motion, at 0.750 ⋅c⋅c relative to the rocket. What is the bullet's speed relative to the earth? What is the direction of its movement? along the rocket's motion opposite the rocket's motionConsider the case of two kids, Sam and Peter, riding a train and playing catch in an empty car. The train is moving to the right at 10 m/s. The kids can throw the ball at a speed of 5 m/s. The side of the car is transparent and a poodle named Max can see the boys playing inside. What is the speed and direction of Sam’s throw to Peter, according to Max? Explain.A pirate starship in the distant future is being chased by the space police. The pirates are traveling at 1273 km/h while the police are traveling at 1431 km/h. The pirate ship needs 25 minutes to turn on its faster-than-light drive so it can jump into hyperspace to escape. How long, in minutes, will it take the space police to catch up to the pirates if they are 50 km away from one another? min Will the pirates be able to escape?
- 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.Problem 3: A spaceship is traveling at a velocity of vo = (23 m/s)i when its rockets fire, giving it an acceleration of a = (3.2 m/s2)i + (4.37 m/s2)k.A beam of light is moving directly along the spaceship, but through an old-fashioned fiber optic cable. The speed of light in the cable is 0.6 times the speed of light in a vacuum. The spaceship is moving at 0.8 times the speed of light. What speed do you observe from the ground?
- In a certain particle accelerator, a proton has a kinetic energy that is equal to its rest energy. What is the speed of the proton relative to the accelerator? 0.87 c 0.25 c 0.75 c 0.71 c 0.50 cA rocket is moving to the right at 1/2 the speed of light relative to the earth. A light bulb in the center of a room inside the rocket suddenly turns on. Call the light hitting the front end of the room event A and the light hitting the back of the room event B (Fig). Which event occurs first, A or B, or are they simultaneous, as viewed by (a) an astronaut riding in the rocket and (b) a person at rest on the earth? B A 1/2As the drawing shows, a carpenter on a space station has constructed a 30.0° ramp. A rocket moves past the space station with a relative speed of 0.863c in a direction parallel to side x. What does a person aboard the rocket measure for the angle of the ramp? Number i 30.0° X Units
