A newspaper delivery boy is riding his bicycle down the street at 5.0m/s. He can throw a paper at a speed of 8.0m/s. What

is the paper’s speed relative to the ground if he throws the paper (a) forward, (b) backward, and (c) to the side?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. speed is 13m/s

b. speed is -3m/s

c. Speed is9.43m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Party (a) Step 1: Given information

we have given,

Bicyclespeed=5m/sPaperspeed=8m/s

we have to find the paper relative speed with ground if he through it forward.

02

Simplify

If boy through the paper forward then there will be speed of the bicycle vband the speed of the paper vp,

Then total speed of the paper with respect to ground will add,

vg=vb+vpvg=5m/s+8m/svg=13m/s

03

Part (b) Step 1: Give information

We have given,

Bicyclespeed=5m/sPaperspeed=8m/s

We have to find the speed of paper with respect to ground if it flows back ward.

04

Simplify

Since the paper is flying backward then its speed with the cycle will be negative.

then,

vg=vb+vpvg=5m/s-8m/svg=-3m/s

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

We have given,

Bicyclespeed=5m/sPaperspeed=8m/s

We have to find the speed of the paper with respect to ground if it flows to the side.

06

Simplify

The velocity of the paper with respect to ground is,

vg=5m/si^+8m/sj^

Then magnitude will be,

vg=(5)2+(8)2vg=25+64=89vg=9.43m/s

The Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC) accelerates electrons to v=0.99999997cin a 3.2kmlong tube. If they travel the length of the tube at full speed (they don’t, because they are accelerating), how long is the tube in the electrons’ reference frame?

You are standing at x=9.0km.Lightning bolt 1strikes at x=0kmand lightning bolt 2strikes at x=12.0km. Both flashes reach your eye at the same time. Your assistant is standing at x=3.0km. Does your assistant see the flashes at the same time? If not, which does she see first, and what is the time difference between the two?

A distant quasar is found to be moving away from the earth at 0.80c. A galaxy closer to the earth and along the same line of sight is moving away from us at 0.20c. What is the recessional speed of the quasar, as a fraction of c, as measured by astronomers in the other galaxy?

On a futuristic highway, a 15mlong rocket travels so fast that a red stoplight, with a wavelength of 700nm, appears to the pilot to be a green light with a wavelength of 520nm. What is the length of the rocket to an observer standing at the intersection as the rocket speeds through?

Let’s examine whether or not the law of conservation of momentum is true in all reference frames if we use the Newtonian definition of momentum: px=mux. Consider an object A of mass 3m at rest in reference frame S. Object A explodes into two pieces: object B, of mass m, that is shot to the left at a speed of c/2 and object C, of mass 2m, that, to conserve momentum, is shot to the right at a speed of c/4. Suppose this explosion is observed in reference frame S′ that is moving to the right at half the speed of light.

a. Use the Lorentz velocity transformation to find the velocity and the Newtonian momentum of A in S′.

b. Use the Lorentz velocity transformation to find the velocities and the Newtonian momenta of B and C in S′.

c. What is the total final momentum in S′?

d. Newtonian momentum was conserved in frame S. Is it conserved in frame S′?
