Spaceship C moves so as to remain a fixed distance behind spaceship at all times.
The diagram at right shows the positions time of the three spaceships and the shuttle at time
Diagram for reference frame of spaceship C
On the diagram show the positions of the spaceships and the shuttle at time
In the box at right, draw and label vectors for
Is the magnitude of the displacement of the shuttle in the frame of spaceship C greater than, less than, or equal to themagnitude of the displacement of the shuttle in the frame of spaceship B? Explain.

- Each of the strobe photographs (a), (b), and (c) as shown was taken of a single disk moving toward the right, which we take as the positive direction. Within each photograph the time interval between images is constant. For each photograph, prepare graphs of x versus t, υx versus t, and ax versus t, vertically aligned with their time axes identical, to show the motion of the disk. You will not be able to place numbers other than zero on the axes, but show the correct shapes for the graph lines.arrow_forwardIn a frame at rest with respect to the billiard table, two billiard balls of same mass m are moving toward each other with the same speed v. After the collision, the two balls come to rest. (a) Show that momentum is conserved in this frame. (b) Now, describe the same collision from the perspective of a frame that is moving with speed v in the direction of the motion of the first ball. (c) Is the momentum conserved in this frame?arrow_forwardFrame A is stationary. A ball is fired in the x-direction with a speed of 5 m/s.

- A jetliner has an air speed of 500 mph. A 200-mph wind is blowing fromwest to east.(a) The pilot heads due north. In what direction does the plane fly, and whatis its ground speed? (Hint: Define a frame of reference 5' that moves with the wind. In Sf there is no wind; hence the plane always moves in the direction it isheaded, at 500 mph. Use the velocity transformation to find the components ofthe plane's velocity in the ground frame.)(b) In what direction should the pilot head in order to fly due north? What isthe plane's ground speed in this case?arrow_forwardplease help: A rectangular painting is 112 cm wide and 77.4 cm high, as indicated below At what speed, v, must the painting move parallel to its width if it is to appear to be square?

In this trick shot you are attempting to strike an object ball with the cue ball while the object ball is moving and make the shot. If the object ball is moving directly from you at a speed of 0.10 m/s and you strike the cue ball at 0.50 m/s directly in line with the object ball, then after the cue ball and object ball collide, how fast will they be moving apart relative to one another? Previous answer someone gave me was two answers and I only need one!! Please help!!arrow_forward
- hi, thank you for solving this for me. could you write out the last few lines of the answer (starting from "we then have")? all the numbers so close together is making it a little difficult. thank you!arrow_forwardI need only number 1 and 2 revise. The red color comment is written by my professor. *Please write your explain and tell me where I'm wrong and what did you change. Thank you 1. A rocket is moving at 1/4 c relative to Earth. At the center of this rocket, a light source suddenly flashes. To an observer at rest in the rocket a. the light pulse will reach the front of the rocket at the same instant that it reaches the back of the rocket. b. the light pulse will reach the front of the rocket before it reaches the back of the rocket. c. the light pulse will reach the front of the rocket after it reaches the back of the rocket. 2.
