Race rocket driver Suzy is heading down the final straightaway, approaching the finish line at 1.0 x 108 m/s. Her fans, at the finish line straight ahead, are shooting laser beams toward her (but not into her eyes). The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s. How fast are the light waves approaching in Suzy's reference frame? 3. a) Light waves do not travel in Suzy's frame. b) 1.0 x 10² m/s c) 3.0 x 108 m/s d) 4.0 x 10² m/s
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.
