Grade 11 Physics A local police department has decided to use airplanes to help catch drivers who are speeding. They have painted white marks on the side of the road that are 400 m apart.

a. If the speed limit on the road is 80 km/h, how long should it take to drive from one white line to another if the driver is obeying the speed limit? (Hint: convert the speed to m/s first)

b. How will the pilot of the plane know if the driver is speeding?

Imagine you are riding on a yacht in the ocean and traveling at 20 mph. you then hit a golf ball at 100 mph from the deck of the yacht. you see the ball move away from you at 100mph, while a person standing on a near by beach would observe your golf ball traveling at 120 mph (20 mph + 100 mph). now imagine you are aboard the hermes spacecraft traveling at 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) past mars and shine a laser from the front of the ship. you would see the light traveling at c (the speed of light) away from your ship. according to einstein’s special relativity, how fast will a person on mars observe the light to be traveling? a) 0.1c (1/10 the speed of light) b) c (the speed of light) c)1.1c (c+0.1c)

Which situation will produce the greatest change of momentum

The two stars in a certain binary star system move in circular orbits. the first star, alpha, has an orbital speed of 36 km/s. the second star, beta, has an orbital speed of 12 km/s. the orbital period is 137 d. a) what is the mass of the star alpha? b) what is the mass of the star beta?
