Under Galilean relativity, if a police officer is driving at 50
miles per hour on a highway
with a speed limit of 70 miles per hour, what speed must she
observe from a driver going
in the opposite direction in order to know the person must be
speeding?
appl6ing concept of relative velocity
over speed limit = actual velocity - person velocity
person velocity = 70 - 50 = 20 miles per hour
========
do comment in case any doubt, will reply for sure.. Goodluck

(10%) Problem 9: Slick Willy is in traffic court (again) contesting a $50.00 ticket for speeding. The speed limit was vo 50 mph and the police officer clocked Slick going vsw 68 mph. However, he was caught by a police officer driving towards him, so he is arguing that although the police officer measured him to be speeding, in reality he was not. Slick Willy is assuming that the Doppler shift in electromagnetic radiation is described in the same way...
Police officer: “I pulled you over for speeding. You were going 80 miles per hour.†Driver: “But that’s impossible, officer! I’ve only been driving for 15 minutes!†The government reports GDP numbers every quarter. How does this story illustrate the meaning of “GDP per year†when the GDP number gets reported every three months?
Speeding Violation Calculator: Design a program that calculates and displays the number of miles per hour over the speed limit that a speeding driver was doing. The program should ask for the speed limit and the driver’s speed. Validate the input as follows: The speed limit should be at least 20 but not greater than 70. The driver’s speed should be at least the value entered for the speed limit (otherwise the driver was not speeding).Once correct data has been...
Consider someone driving down the highway at 70 miles per hour (31.3 m/s). The total mass of the driver and their car (as well as everything else in the car) is 1600kg. How much work must friction do to make the car stop?
Consider someone driving down the highway at 70 miles per hour (31.3 m/s). The total mass of the driver and their car (as well as everything else in the car) is 1300kg. A) How much work must friction do to make the car stop? I got −6.37×10^5 J B) A tree suddenly falls on the highway 60m in front of the car, and the driver just barely manages to stop before hitting the tree. What is the magnitude of the...
A construction zone on a highway has a posted speed limit of 40 miles per hour. The speeds of vehicles passing through this construction zone are normally distributed with a mean of 46 miles per hour and a standard deviation of 4 miles per hour. A. The fastest 10% of the vehicles passing through this construction zone are going at what speed?

4. (12 pts) The speed limit on a highway is 70 miles per hour. A sample of 8 cars are clocked at 69 mph, with a sample standard deviation of 5 miles per hour. Can we say, with at least 90 percent confidence that the average speed on the road is above 65? tcale = tarit Can we be at least 90 percent confidence that the average speed >70?
1.You are driving slowly on the highway at 50 mph when a police car with its lights flashing passes you going 100 mph. Relative to you, the police officer is moving 50 mph. Far in the future, when humans have mastered space travel, an astronaut is moving in a spaceship at half the speed of light, v = c/2, relative to earth, when a light beam sent from earth moving parallel to the spaceship passes it moving at v =...
Automobiles traveling on a road with a posted speed limit of 65 miles per hour are checked for speed by a state police radar system. The following is a frequency distribution of speeds. Speed (miles per hour) Frequency 45 up to 55 50 55 up to 65 325 65 up to 75 275 75 up to 85 25 The standard deviation of this distribution is the closest to ____. 5.35 6.81 9.54 10.25
