A super rocket car traverses a straight track 2.30×105 m long in 1.00×10−3 s as measured by an observer next to the track.
How much time delta t(clock) elapses on a clock in the rocket car during the run?
delta t(clock) = ?s
What is the distance L(driver) traveled in traversing the track as determined by the driver of the rocket car?
L(driver) = ?m

- Bob has just finished climbing a sheer cliff above a level beach and wants to figure out how high he climbed. All he has to use is a baseball, a stopwatch, and a friend on the ground below with a long measuring tape. Bob is a pitcher and knows that the fastest he can throw the ball is about ?0=34.1 m/s.v0=34.1 m/s. Bob starts the stopwatch as he throws the ball, with no way to measure the ball's initial trajectory, and watches carefully. The ball rises and then falls, and after ?1=0.910 st1=0.910 s the ball is once again level with Bob. Bob cannot see well enough to time when the ball hits the ground. Bob's friend then measures that the ball hit the ground ?=123 mx=123 m from the base of the cliff. How high above the beach was the ball when it was thrown?arrow_forwardA rocket is launched straight up from the earth's surface at a speed of 1.50x104 m/s. You may want to review (Pages 344-346).

- You are sitting in your car at a red light when you see a zombie standing still 65m in front of your car. You both begin to accelerate towards each other. Your car accelerates at 1.8 m/s^2 and the zombie accelerates at 0.6 m/s^2. How long does it take for you to strike the zombie? Make sure to include a diagram of the physical situation, label known and unknown quantities with units, and coordinate system.

A train is moving with a constant speed. The train moves 60 meters for every 1.5 seconds that elapses. a. Assume that we get 40 by dividing 60 by 1.5. What is the name that is commonly given to a quantity represented by this number 40? b. To denote the quantity completely, what additional information must be given besides the number 40? c. How would you interpret the number 40 in this instance? Your answer should mention distance and time. d. Use your interpretation (not algebra) to find the distance the train moves in 2.5 seconds.arrow_forward
