Imagine that you are going for a ride in a hot air balloon at the Canowindra Balloon Challenge. While the balloon is rising at a speed of 2.0 m/s, you throw a small ball down at a speed of 5.0 m/s relative to your body. A person who measures the ball's velocity at the instant of release will find that the ball's velocity relative to the ground at that instant is O a. 3.0 m/s, up. O b. 2.0 m/s, up. O c. 3.0 m/s, down. O d. 12.8 m/s, down. O e. 5.0 m/s, down.
A car travels in the positive ?-direction in the reference frame ? at an ordinary speed. The reference frame ?′ moves at a speed of 0.80?, along the ?-axis. The rest length of the car is 2.50 m. Calculate the length ? of the car according to observers in the ?′ frame.
R3M.8 The new earth-Pluto shuttle shuttle line boasts that it can take you between the two planets (which are about 5.0 hours of distance apart) in 2.5 hours (according to a rider’s watch). Assume that acceleration and deceleration periods are very brief so that you spend essentially all the trip traveling at a constant velocity. a) What time interval must synchronized clocks in the solar system’s reference frame register between the shuttle’s departure from earth and its arrival at Pluto if the advertisement is true? b) What is the shuttle’s cruising speed?

q3) You are now in 20 years old. You are disappointed with the current situation. So, you decide to leave to the future of Earth. You plan a space journey for 5 years(go in 2.5 years and back in 2.5 years.) with a constant speed relative to Earth. If you wish to reach the Earth after 100 years when you are 25 years old, how fast the speed, you need to set for your spaceship? (Give your answer in 5 significant figures)
