Problem 1:
A passenger on a train traveling at 95 km/h north walks towards the back of the train at 2.0 km/h relative to the train. The passenger's velocity relative to the ground is:
93 km/h [N]
93 km/h [S]
97 km/h [N]
97 km/h [S]
Explanation: 95 km/h (N) - 2 km/h (S) = 93 km/h (N)
Problem 2:
Which of the following motions is not uniform:
A car traveling at a constant velocity of 100 km/h along a straight highway.
A spacecraft traveling through space experiencing zero acceleration.
A train traveling at a constant velocity of 100 km/h around a turn.
A box sliding across a surface while being pushed by a force that matches the force of kinetic friction.
Problem 3:
A bird flies 1.0 km [S], 3.0 km [E], 2.5 km [N], 6.5 km [S], then 3.0 km [W]. The total displacement of the bird is:
11 km
27 km [S]
27 km [E]
11 km [S]
