As an apple tree is transported by a truck moving to the right witha constant velocity, one of its apples shakes loose and falls towardthe bed of the truck. Of the curves shown in Figure CQ3.13, (i)which best describes the path followed by the apple as seen by astationary observer on the ground, who observes the truck mov-ing from his left to his right? (ii) Which best describes the pathas seen by an observer sitting in the truck?Figure CQ3.13

On your way back from the lake, you’re worst friend is driving and trying to post some stupid selfies toInstagram. Just then, you look up to see a train approaching the crossing near the Roadhouse Grilltravelling at 30 m/s, 60 m from the train crossing. You’re traveling 20 m/s at a distance of 45 m away andyour “friend” decides (foolishly) to punch it and try to beat the train. If his reaction time is half a second,what minimum acceleration does the car need to avoid certain calamity? [4.4 m/s2]
Train A is traveling at a constant speed vA = 39 mi/hr while car B travels in a straight line along the road as shown at a constant speed VB. A conductor Cin the train begins to walk to the rear of the train car at a constant speed of vC/A = 4 ft/sec relative to the train. If the conductor perceives car B to move directly westward at vg/c = 23 ft/sec, how fast is the car traveling? UB B N
