Three little ducks @ 4 4 crossing a highway at 0.5 mph. The third
duckling sees a car coming at 20 mph, but the others are already in
the middle of the road. You are the second duckling. What will
happen to you and why??
I tried asking this question before but I got a blank response. How do I find how far the jet traveled before stopping?
You are on a train traveling east at speed of 11 m/s with respect to the ground. Your friend is sitting on another train traveling west at 12 m/s. As you walk toward the back of your train at 3.3 m/s, what is your velocity with respect to your friend?

You and your team get a distress call from another ship indicating that there has been an explosion and their propulsion and navigation systems are now off line. A large piece of their ship has been jettisoned into space, and their life support systems are failing. They need help as soon as possible. You try to track them, but are only able to pick up the piece of the craft that had been projected away from them in the explosion. You look up the make and model of their ship, a Galaxy Explorer 5000 (GE 5000), which has a total mass of 51000 kg. The piece heading in your direction is the ship's storage module, and has a mass of 8500 kg. The GE 5000 was at rest with respect to your ship at the time of the explosion. (a) Assuming you received the distress call 20 minutes before the jettisoned storage module passed by your ship at a speed of 650 m/s, what is the speed of the damaged craft? (b) How far away is the Galaxy Explorer 5000 when its storage module passes by?…arrow_forward
