Two observers, Alice and Bob, are watching a car move down a straight road. Alice is standing still on the side of the road, while Bob is driving his car in the same direction as the first car, but at a slower speed. Which observer measures...
Two trains are approaching each other on parallel tracks. Train A is moving east at 40 m/s, and Train B is moving west at 30 m/s. What is the velocity of Train A relative to Train B?
A train is moving to the right at a speed of 30 m/s relative to the ground. A person inside the train is walking to the right at a speed of 2 m/s relative to the train. What is the velocity of the person relative to the ground?
A physics student is conducting an experiment inside a train moving at a constant velocity. The student drops a ball and measures its acceleration due to gravity. If another observer were standing on the ground outside the train, how would ...
