1. Taking north as positive and south as negative for all reference frames, suppose Mayor Adams is
riding a southbound train to New York City traveling at 40 m/s relative to the ground, while
Governor Hochul is riding a northbound train to Albany at 33 m/s relative to the ground.
A) What is the velocity of Mayor Adams in Governor Hochul's reference frame (i.e. in the
reference frame where Governor Hochul isn't moving)?
B) What is the velocity of Governor Hochul in Mayor Adams reference frame?
C) To his surprise Mayor Adams observes a groundhog running along the aisle towards the back
of the train with a speed of 2 m/s relative to the train. What is the velocity of the groundhog
in Governor Hochul's reference frame?
D) What is the groundhog's velocity in the reference frame of someone standing at the train
station?
E) What is its velocity in Mayor Adams's reference frame?

E3 (3D) In a sci fi movie, an astronaut flies away from a space station doing backflips over and
over from the perspective of a person on the space station. Construct two reference frames, one
with origin at the space station, the other with origin at the astronaut. For a time coordinate,
not that the astronaut was pushed off the space station by a small explosion at one moment.

- An observer sitting on a park bench watches a person walking behind a runner. Figure P4.72A is the motion diagram representing what this observer sees. To better reveal the changing distance between runner and walker, five observations (A through E) are shown on five separate lines in Figure P4.72B. To the observer on the bench, both the runner and the walker move to the right, and the gap between them widens. Draw the motion diagram of the runner from the reference frame of the walker. FIGURE P4.72arrow_forwardA (field) hockey player is running north at a speed of 8m/s. A ball is coming directly towards her from the north at a speed of 18m/s. She swings her stick forward, directly north, at a speed of 6m/s measured in her own frame of reference. What is the speed of the ball with respect to the hockey stick? Relative to the hockey stick, the ball is travelling at ____ m/s.arrow_forwardFelipe is on a train going south at 30 meters per second.

The river flows from east to west with a speed of 4.00 m/s relative to the shore. There is a dock located upstream on the northern side of the river at an angle of 57.0∘57.0∘ relative to the shore (i.e. north of east). The boat is able to travel at a speed of 6.50 m/s relative to the water. If the boat travels directly to the dock on the northern shore at a constant speed, how long does it take to get there?arrow_forwardTwo speedboats are traveling at the same speed relative to the water in opposite directions in a moving river.
