Relative Velocity

It is a measurement of an object with regards to the other object which is moving or stable or stationary. For example, if we are traveling in a bus and the bus is moving at speed of 50km/hr, then our speed is according to the nearby passenger on the bus is zero. According to them, we are not moving. But if one person standing on the ground or road observes us from outside of the bus, according to him we are moving at a speed of 50km/hr and the bus is also moving at a speed of 50km/hr. Now, the motion is recognized by the observer, it depends on a frame of reference or observer. This is motion called relative motion.

You have an assistantship with a math professor in a future world where space travel is common and spacecraft regularly achieve near-light speeds. A spacecraft has taken of recently to carry individuals to colonize an Earth-like planet around a nearby star. Your professor, who remains on Earth, is teaching the students on the spacecraft via the future version of distance learning. It is time for the students on the spacecraft to take a math exam. The professor wishes the students to have a time interval tp = 2.00 h to complete the exam, so just as the spacecraft passes Earth on its last trip around the Sun at its constant cruising speed of 0.960c, she sends a signal to the proctor to have the students begin the exam. Knowing of your experience in physics courses, the professor asks you to determine the time interval through which she should wait before sending a radio signal to the departing spacecraft to tell the proctor to have the students stop working on the exam.

A monkey hanging from a tree branch sees a hunter aiming a rifle directly at him. The monkey then sees a flash and knows that the rifle has been fired. Reacting quickly, the monkey lets go of the branch and drops so that the bullet can pass harmlessly over his head. Does this act save the monkey’s life? Why or why not? (Hint: Consider the similarities between this situation and that of Exercise 24.11.)
