A spider is walking to the left along a ruler which is being pulled to the right. The speed of the ruler is greater than the speed of the spider walking along the ruler. The speed of the spider with respect to the ground is less than the speed of the ruler. The same as the speed of the ruler. zero. greater than the speed of the ruler.

1. A dog runs back and forth between its two owners, who are walking toward one another (Figure below). The dog starts running when the owners are 10.0 m apart with a speed of 3.0 m/s. (a) If the owners each walk with a speed of 1.3 m/s, how far has the dog traveled when the owners meet? (b) If one owner walks with a speed of 1.6 m/s while the other walks at 1.3 m/s, what is the total distance traveled by the dog when the owners meet? 13 m/s 30 m/s -100 m- 13 m/s
10. Two trains, 150 m and 200 m long, traveling in opposite directions meet on two parallel tracks. What is the speed of each train if the passing time is 10 seconds and the first train travels a distance of 160 m during this time? [speeds 16 m/s and 19 m/s]
5. Two locomotives 70 kilometers apart are travelling on the same track towards each other, Engine A moves at 22 kilometers per hour east and engine B moves at 13 kilometers per hour west. At the instant both trains begin moving, an annoying mutant fly begins flying from engine A towards engine Bat 33 kilometers per hour . The instant it touches B, it turns around and flies back. It goes on this way until the two locomotives collide and the mutant fly is finally squashed. So, before its untimely demise, determine the following: a. the total distance the fly flew b. the time it took till it was eliminated c. The average velocity of the fly
