In SI units, speeds are measured in meters per second (m/s). But, depending on where you live, you’re probably mole comfortable of thinking of speeds in terms of either kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mi/h). In this problem, you will see that 1 m/s is roughly 4 km/h or 2 mi/h, which is handy to use when developing your physical Intuition. More precisely, show that (a) 1.0m/s=3.6km/h and 1.0m/s=2.2mi/h .

How many times longer than the mean life of an extremely unstable atomic nucleus is the lifetime of a human? (Hint: The lifetime of an unstable atomic nucleus is on the order of 10-22 s.
The great astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that all distant galaxies are receding from our Milky Way Galaxy with velocities proportional to their distances. It appears to an observer on the Earth that we are at the center of an expanding universe. Figure 3.64 illustrates this for five galaxies lying along a straight line, with the Milky Way Galaxy at the center. Using the data from the figure, calculate the velocities: (a) relative to galaxy 2 and (b) relative to galaxy 5. The results mean that observers on all galaxies will see themselves at the center of the expanding universe, and they would likely be aware of relative velocities, concluding that it is not possible to locate the center of expansion with the given information. Figure 3.64 Five galaxies on a straight line, showing their distances and velocities relative to the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. The distances are in millions of light years (Mly), where a light year is the distance light travels in one year. The velocities are nearly proportional to the distances. The sizes of the galaxies are greatly exaggerated; an average galaxy is about 0.1 MlY across.

A car traveling at 35.0 m/s takes 26.0 minutes to travel a certain distance according to the drivers clock in the car. How long does the trip take according to an observer at rest on Earth? Hint: The following approximation is helpful: [1x]121+12xforx1.
The formula for length contraction gives the length of an interval on a ruler_moving with velocity v relative to an observer as times the length of the same interval on a ruler at rest with respect to the observer. By what fraction is the length of a meter stick reduced if its velocity relative to you is measured to be 95 percent the speed of light?
Dr. John Paul Stapp was U.S. Air Force officer who studiedthe effects of extreme deceleration on the human body. OnDecember 10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sled, acceleratingfrom rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s, andwas brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s! Calculate his(a) acceleration and (b) deceleration. Express each inmultiples of g (9.80 m/s2) by taking its ratio to theacceleration of gravity.
Help plz Two ships are sailing in the fog and are being monitored at ten-second intervals by R.J. Sampson. As they enter his rada screen at 6:00 AM, the Minnow is 1000 meters above the lower left corner of the screen (which will be referred to as the Origin). The Lollipop is 8000 meters directly to the right of the origin After ten seconds, the Minnow is 40 meters east and 10 meters north of its original position After ten seconds, the Lollipop is 30 meters west and 20 meters north of its original position You may assume that the two ships maintain their courses and speed throughout the problem. Do the ships collide?
