Question

From the given information, find the hoizontal and vertical components of the ball's velocity in our frame of reference.

An ideal superball clock features a ball bouncing back and forth between two
walls in gravity-free space. The walls are a distance D apart, and the ball moves
with constant speed vå, so the round-trip time is T = 2D/v. An identical clock
in a spaceship moves past us to the right at speed V. The walls are separated by
a distance D in the ship frame, and the ball moves with speed v relative to the
ship. From our point of view the ball moves diagonally, as shown below.

A person is traveling at 28.3 m/s due west on the highway and sees a tractor ahead of him moving ahead of him perpendicularly away from the road (North) at 6.50m/s. (Both these motions are relative to a frame at rest on the ground.) What is the car's velocity in the tractor's frame (magnitude and direction)?
A spacecraft traveling at a velocity of (-20, -90, 40) m/s is observed to be at a location (200, 300, -500) m relative to an origin located on a nearby asteroid. At a later time, the spacecraft is at location (-380, −2310, 660) m. (a) How long did it take the spacecraft to travel between these locations? (b) How far did the spacecraft travel? (c) What is the speed of the spacecraft (d) What is the unit vector in the direction of the spacecraft's velocity?
A UFO is observed directly above the earth moving at a constant velocity. An astronaut on the moon (3.8 108 m from earth) observes the UFO passing overhead 3.1 s later. From the UFO's reference frame, how long did it take to travel from the earth to the moon?
