A sprinter crosses the finish line of a race. The roar of the crowd in front approaches her at a speed of 355 m/s. The roar from the crowd behind her approaches at 335 m/s. What are the speed of sound and the speed of the sprinter?
Consider 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.
You encounter a moving walkway that is 75 mm long and has a speed of 1.9 m/sm/s relative to the ground.How long would it take you to cover the 75 mm length of the walkway if, once you get on the walkway, you turn around and start walking in the opposite direction with a speed of 1.4m/s relative to the walkway?

- An observer in a coasting spacecraft moves toward a mirror at speed v relative to the reference frame labeled S in Figure P39.85. The mirror is stationary with respect to S. A light pulse emitted by the spacecraft travels toward the mirror and is reflected back to the spacecraft. The spacecraft is a distance d from the mirror (as measured by observers in S) at the moment the light pulse leaves the spacecraft. What is the total travel time of the pulse as measured by observers in (a) the S frame and (b) the spacecraft?arrow_forwardThe truck in Figure P39.1 is moving at a speed of 10.0 m/s relative to the ground.
