Textbook Question

Chapter 29.4, Problem 4EYU

A passenger jogs toward the front of a train with a speed of 2 m/s. The tram itself moves with a speed of 8 m/s relative to the ground. In classical physics, we would say that the speed of the passenger relative to the ground is 10 m/s. In principle is the correct relativistic speed of the passenger relative to the ground greater than, less than, or equal to 10 m/s? Explain.

In the pivot assignment, we observed waves moving on a string stretched by hanging weights. We noticed that certain frequencies produced standing waves. One such situation is shown below: 0 ст Direct Measurement ©2015 Peter Bohacek I. 20 0 cm 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Which Harmonic is this? Do NOT include units! What is the wavelength of this wave in cm with only no decimal places? If the speed of this wave is 2500 cm/s, what is the frequency of this harmonic (in Hz, with NO decimal places)?
