You arrange to meet a friend at 5:00 p.m. on Valentine’s Day on the observation deck of the Empire State Building in New York City. You arrive right on time, but your friend is not there. She arrives 5 minutes late and says the reason is that time runs faster at the top of a tall building, so she is on time but you were early. Is your friend right? Does time run slower or faster at the top of a building, as compared with its base? Is this a reasonable excuse for your friend arriving 5 minutes late?
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.)

If I am driving my car 70 MPH on the interstate with my windows up and a fly in the back seat flys forward to the front seat, could we say that the fly is faster than my car? The car is going 70MPH and the fly is moving 72 MPH? Thanks.
Playing jackstone as a kid, you discovered that there is a certain time before the rubber ball falls and you took advantage of this when picking up the stars on the floor. If you threw the ball 2.56m/s up into the air, how fast will it be moving at a height of 11.35cm? How much time has elapsed upon reaching this height? Use GRESA and show illustration
